So what’s the current install / run process. I there a new server ( I installed one). Also are we testing just the connection is elf or is there any way to interact with the connection?
Maybe v2 should have a keychain hole and a JST connector for a lipo battery that can be adhered to the bottom layer.
Oh, and before I came up with this, I wanted a smoothie flash drive - which was essentially this but with the male USB connector as part of the PCB.
For those running from Mac or Linux there has been a change in the port number and the dir structure.
The port is now 8080.
When running on the command line from node you’ll need to cd to the server dir and run server.js to start the server.
I can submit a pull request for the readme or put it into the wiki if you feel that info is needed. It’s something an node dev should know but since the testing base is more of a user base than a dev base it may make sense to provide a bit more instruction than if it was a dev community.
@Sebastien_Mischler I think as long as it’s clear what port it’s on, it’s not an issue though for consistency with the previous version 8000 might make more sense. I think asking the user to choose a port may cause more issues than it solves. I think most users of laser cutters aren’t familiar with server ports.
If you package the app and autoload a browser then selection would be irrelevant but if you use a port that’s allready used by another app/service then that could cause trouble. Maybe use a custom port for laserweb?
