Cool!

This is pretty exciting

and on grbl1.1!

jlauer · January 18, 2017, 3:59pm

That looks pretty cool.

Testing…

So how are you getting the data from the joystick over to the Arduino? Are you going joystick to browser to Arduino? Or are you going joystick to Arduino?

Justin_Adie · January 19, 2017, 5:11pm

Only one spare pin on the Uno @jlauer .

jlauer · January 19, 2017, 5:12pm

If it’s to one pin, is it talking I2C then?

Justin_Adie · January 19, 2017, 5:15pm

I meant that comms to an Uno would not be possible.

The i2c bus pins are used for other things in grbl too unfortunately.

Might be possible to send direct to the RX port but that would bypass the filters and controls in the UI and SJPS. So I think Luca is using SJPS to address CP and then fire off compliant jog commands.

Luca_Nervetti · January 19, 2017, 5:21pm

I’m using a Nano, he reads data from his analog inputs and sends serial json-like messages to spjs, then the widget capture this data and sends Jog commands to the Uno.

jlauer · January 19, 2017, 5:24pm

Oh, I see. You have two serial ports open. Got it. That’s cool.
