Dave, While none exist at this point, it would be possible to build an interface around the telnet like interfaces of emcrsh (http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Emcrsh) and possibly halrmt (http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Halrmt). FTP or other means of file transfer would be necessary to view and transfer Gcode files and possibly read the configuration for configuring the display (number of axes enabled, etc.)
I do not have any Android based devices, but as I understand it, the SDK is Eclipse / Java based, and unlike Apple iOS, Python is also supported. Axis, Touchy and Gladevcp are all Python based, but I have no idea how difficult it would be to modify one of them to use the above interfaces in place of directly interfacing with EMC. There are also small (7" for example) touch screen VGA monitors which can be used by any of the existing user interfaces. HTH, Eric I don't want to run EMC2 on the tablet, but it sure would be nice if there was some way to use these tablets as a client connected to a PC running EMC2. Just comparing apples to apples (sort of) they are now selling 10" Android tablets for $200 yet the cheapest dumb 10" touchscreen at MP3car.com is 229.00 and that is a USB connected screen which I am not sure would even work with Linux. A real screen with a 16:9 ratio area and a real VGA input starts at $249 and goes up from there. I suspect that tablets will continue to fall in price but I am not so sure about small monitors. Are there better places to buy small touch screen monitors? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
