How do you use GCode_Host.pde with Arduino?

Hi

I have compiled and uploaded GCode_Interpreter.pde to the Arduino.

Do you then have to load & compile GCode_Host.pde?

If I do I get an error:-

error: 'String' does not name a type In function 'void setup()':
In function 'void draw()':
At global scope:

Am I doing something wrong?

yo.

okay, first off... GCode_Host.pde is a Processing sketch. Processing is sort of a father project to Arduino. the use a similar interface. Processing is for building host side apps. Download the latest copy of processing from processing.org

secondly, once you compile it, this is seriously the most basic app ever. no joke.

processing doesnt support file dialogs or anything yet, so it looks for the file 'job.gcode' in the sketch's data directory. it will send that to the arduino line by line.

good luck.

ps. this is just temporary. i'm looking to actually take the processing and/or arduino software code, strip out their stuff, and start building a reprap gcode host for us. i'm looking for a good name as well if anyone has ideas. "reprap gcode host" just doesnt cut it, lol.

Hi Zach

That works, thanks.

Hi,

When I attempt to run the processing sketch (gcode host) I get this error:

Semantic Error: No accessible method with signature "match(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)" was found in type "Temporary_9151_8377".


I know processing has a String match method, and others have obviously gotten past this, so...what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help in advance.

well, that processing sketch is very crude. are you sure you're running it from the Processing host (and not the Arduino host?)

other than that, i'd say wait a week or two until i merge my gcode stuff with the main host software (or run the subversion branche version in reprap/trunk/users/hoeken/gcode_host
