Doboz-Web: Reprap/3d scanner remote control using python, javascript, webgl

Hello everyone !
I just finished and released the first version of an open source remote monitoring and control system for Repraps/Repstraps/repstrap/3d scanners ,that includes a Web client (using Javascript + Jquery + WebGl) and server (pure Python ):


Current Features :

Printing

• upload and print: select the file, upload the file, print it
• remote monitoring: keep an eye on the print heads movement, the print progress,the temperature of your extruder and buid platform, from wherever you are, even from your cellphone!
• manual control of reprap via GCodes
• GCode file support
• multiple chained prints via print queue

Scanning

• set and scan : just set the area and resolution of the scan, push the button and voila ! pointcloud!
• store and download: the scan files are stored on the server side , and can be retrieved at any time
• multiple viewmodes
• easy chaining: by default, the machine will be set to home in between scans, so you can chain them without fear

General

• very few dependencies: server 100% python , can be run with as little as the project’s source code, Python 2.6 and pyserial
• lightweight: the current version comes at just about 2 MB
• easy to set up : static file server for the interface as well as reprap control all in one
• standard: normally , it should not require you to change your reprap’s firmware (except for scanning)
• easy to use: nothing too fancy , just straight to the point
• multiplatform: web based, so will work in any browser with javascript enabled (or you can send the commands directly via http from command line if you want to), 3d part requires a browser with webGl support

A presentation of the system in action


Looking for feedback
It works great on my own repstrap , but i am looking for feedback , so if you are interested, please give it a go, my aim is to have it compatible with most open source 3d printer !

Hmmm ... new wiki page!

http://reprap.org/wiki/Doboz-Web

As per this discussion this conversation should probably go in reprap-dev since it is dev.

Hey Sebastien, thanks for the wiki page, still don't have that reflex : i edited and cleaned up that page now , al the info is there aswell now !

I'll try to post to the dev list too, but is that mandatory ? (must confess, i always prefered the forum )

It's not actually compulsory.

Wanted to give it a try but couldnt get it all working and talking to my mendel.

Not sure if server is closed at "Shutting down", and in general could use a few random tips about manipulating server settings.

Got ui working but somehow cant figure from where to change COM port - server seems to take COM2
Not sure about the name of firmware for fived in config.cfg. I read there were checksum issues to fived but i havent been able to get it talk to it so havent got that far myself.
