DRO for interface

[Armandleo93]

Hi,

Not sure where to post this so I thought I'd start here.

I'm trying to build and interface for my cnc, one similar to the openbuilds interface.

I'm just trying to work out of there is a way of getting info from the DRO out of UGS into something like a raspberry pi pico and display it on a screen all connected via USB?

Thanks for any suggestions

Not up to the second, but I pull it out with the pendant API and send it to an LCD. Eg. FOR /F "delims=" %%A IN ('xidel.exe http://192.168.7.85:8080/api/v1/status/getStatus -e "rowCount:=($json).rowCount" -e "completedRowCount:=($json).completedRowCount" -e "remainingRowCount:=($json).remainingRowCount" -e "sendDuration:=($json).sendDuration" -e "sendRemainingDuration:=($json).sendRemainingDuration" -e "workCoordX:=round(($json).workCoord.x,2)" -e "workCoordY:=round(($json).workCoord.y,2)" -e "workCoordZ:=round(($json).workCoord.z,2)" -e "state:=($json).state" -e "fileName:=($json).fileName" --output-format=cmd') DO %%A The tool I am using to extract the JSON is cross-platform.

Thanks for your quick response Chrisla23!

Okay, i suppose that if you can pull info from the API in that way it could potentially take info as well from some push buttons right?

The thought is to make a pendant that connects over usb to a raspberry pi running UGS that has some info displaying on a 3 or 4" lcd screen. Would this be doable as you've suggested above?

Thanks again!

Correct.

You may want to take a look at this project: https://github.com/aleslukek/UGS-Wifi-Pendant

Here is an example of sending some gcode:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"commands":"G20G90G53G0Z0;G53G0X0Y0"}" http://192.168.7.85:8080/api/v1/machine/sendGcode

I would say you are better off connecting to UGS over wifi than USB.

Ah that project is almost exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much!
