I have started to sniff some USB data between the computer and K40. I hope to use this data to reverse engineer a way to control it from my linux machine.

I started collecting the data when the printer was connected and moshidraw started. i then did some manual control X+ Y+, X-, Y-

Open with wireshark

Next step is to try to send the sniffed data back to the K40 from linux and get it to move.

I will later try to “fish out” the gcode from the messeges by cutting simple shape. ex 3 lines of various length, circles of various sizes and so on.
