Well, web ui's and realtime web applications is kinda what i do for a living. Most IOS and Android applications today so called apps are made as a webapplication and converted into an "app" through som native cross compiler basicly.
But I havent really had more experience with linuxcnc than i modified an existing UI for plasma tables.. Dont think there should be a problem running a live Web UI if you use a good base service for the package handling between the client and the server. And a proper message queue between linuxcnc and the server application. If you would remove the step or servo signal generation from the linuxcnc box it should have ample of processing power for doing secondary tasks. Isn't that the reason we use the mesa cards in the first place? removing hardware load?! But with that said... i dont think i would run my 2 ton knee mill from a tablet any day soon.. but my router or plasma table absolutely. =D // A Den 2016-11-29 kl. 17:30, skrev Nicklas Karlsson: > I was thinking about splitting in two and use ordinary user interface, web ui > is usually horrible to use although it may have some uses because there is no > need to install software. > > > On Tue, 29 Nov 2016 17:21:49 +0100 > Andreas Pettersson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> awesome, i gonna take a look at the C++ examples. >> thought it could be a challenge of making a webui for a device running >> linuxcnc on a lattepanda or a beaglebone black from there.
