Re: New Creation Workshop RPi Host

Hi
I have just tried installing the rpi-host and after that I have a few remarks.
1. The host requires a large computer screen. My workshop computer is a small laptop with a 1024*768 screen. That's enough for my cnc's
2. Why are you implementing a full fledged CW on the pi. In my opinion all that is needed in a CW-interpreter and a few control buttons.
When working with my cnc I design and generate toolpath on a powerfull desktop computer and I had the hope that I could do the same with the Creation Workshop Host.
Another post in this forum asks for a commandline slicer and I would welcome that too! Together with a small Creation workshop interpreter that could run on the pi as a standalone system.
Just my thoughts
