I need to compile a new v1pi image, but if anyone wants, The cnc.js update instructions should be fine.

anyone here have a working ps3 controller on cncjs ?

 

I think that would be great. It’s something I wanted to put in v1pi, but I was hoping for the more generic joystick inputs, which could handle a lot of controllers.

So I just downloaded and installed CNCjs on a windows laptop… I’m able to control the MPCNC (after sending a manual command from the console first - seriously? are they going to fix that?) but I can’t figure out how to connect through my phone or tablet.

The CNCjs host laptop has an IPv4 address of 192.168.1.206, so if I understand correctly I should just type 192.168.1.206:8000 in my browser right? It doesn’t work, says site can’t be reached refused to connect… So I tried disabling the firewall and that didn’t work either.

Any ideas?

I don’t know windows, but there are options on the command line for starting cnc.js. One of them determines which inferfaces to host it on.

https://cnc.js.org/ (–host in usage)

Looks like it defaults to 0.0.0.0, which should be all of them.

Other than that, I still blame firewalls. Because I always blame firewalls.

Well, it wasn’t the firewall… Turns out it wasn’t using the default host as advertised, it was using a different IP and different port every time. Based on your tip I modified the shortcut target properties in windows to run “C:…\cncjs.exe --host 192.168.1.206 --port 8000” and now it works! Thanks!

Happy Day!!!

How do i update the CNC.JS on the pi image? I am sure it is a terminal command. Just not sure what it is lol :slight_smile: I know just enough to get in trouble. I have it all running.

I believe it is:

sudo npm install -g cncjs@latest --unsafe-perm

But I have not tested that. At least not recently, that I can remember. If that command works, then sudo reboot to start the new version.
