so after trying out many things on the raspberry pi i just wanted to re-use as many of CW code as possible, so i did give Mono a try, but the framebuffer access is just very limited.
so i reverted back to my python main thread and c programming back end program.
Please have a look at the video maybe i need to upload it to youtube
so what is working:
Creation Workshop gcode parsing
Loading png files (generated from a slicer.. ie. CW)
executing the gcode and showing the png's at the specified time interval
Connection to the arduino..
the raspberry pi doesn't have to start X - i run my program from the command line, and control the python program via the web browser.
via the webbrowser:
- upload zip file
- prepare zip file.
- start print
cheers,
hp

Actively working on a rpi controller.
Getting it stable this week (exciting stuff!).
Will make a thread when ready.
For those interested taking a look:

so after switching from python subprocess to sockets and modified the c code a little i am now able to run some slices images for a periode of time controlled via a httpserver running on the RPi,
so basically what you seen on the film clip is.. a c code controlling the frambuffer and accepting socket connections. and my httpserver(python) accepting commands and executing them to the c code program.
have a look:

i've got fbi working now to listen to socket (see this website - https://gist.github.com/silv3rm00n/5604330)
i've modified fbi source so it will run in a loop and handle my socket commands. no need to run it again and again.
looks like it works - also you can have it run in milliseconds.. should be fine on my side.
more testing ongoing..
cheers,
