Re: Reprap Host software over USB on Android - 11 years ago
Adding Ethernet = money spent on extra stuff plus a computer is still being used to trickle G-code using android phone/tablet/pandaboard = no extra money and my phone that was idle already is doing something while it is sitting. That way I do computery stuff on the couch where I can watch my son. If my computer is teathered to my reprap in the bedroom I can't work, print, and watch my son at theby WiESELMan - Developers

Okay. Steps to complete: 1. Download Android SDK 2. Learn Java 3. Learn Model-View-Controller programming paradigm 4. Learn USB CDC protocol 4.5 Read the rest of the thread 5. Copy and paste some Arduino code in for blog cred 6. Pour over ice 7. shake in a Boston shaker for 20 seconds 8. Pour into a 3D printed cocktail glass 9. Download to arduino 10.

Re: Reprap Host software over USB on Android - 11 years ago
Interesting idea. So if I understand what you are saying, the android device would in essence act as a flash drive/sd card with host capability. That could be an extra mode that I add at a later date. To be honest I'm really making this for my use case first: I have: a printer and arduino a ramps 1.4 with 4 pololu stepper drivers No SDRamps No control panel Think printrbot kit with nothing butby WiESELMan - Developers
Re: Recommendations for decent CAD software? - 11 years ago
I just started using solvespace. It is about as parametric as you can get and it is freeware (not oss). I just used it to design a laser cut enclosure and every time I screwed up all I had to do was change a value and it changed everything else around it to make it work. The interface is simple, it doesn't try to do to much and it just works.by WiESELMan - 3D Design tools

Of coarse It will be OSS. I wouldn't have it any other way. And no silly adverts or donation versions. I will host everything I do on a public Github page (not made yet). I think I have come to a conclusion on what I will shoot for on the first version. I will use the USB Host drivers and that will likely be the only interface for a while so that means: Android Tablets that have been updated tby WiESELMan - Developers
Re: Adding a weight scale / load cell to the printer bed!! - 11 years ago
I agree that it is most likely noise in your circuit, but you can use magical 50 Ohm Monster Cable coax all you want and it wont make much of a defference. First of all, you picked the proper amp for the application. How ever what are you powering it with? If is it the same power supply as the Arduino and in turn the same power supply as the motors, then you are introducing noise from the motorby WiESELMan - Developers
Reprap Host software over USB on Android - 11 years ago
I am an Electrical Engineering student starting work on my Senior design project that involves an Android to Zigbee bridge device with an Android App and an Android Accessory. I'm also a Reprap nut, and want to help contribute to the cause. I was thinking a good first step for my project would be to write an Android app that would use the USB port on an Android phone (I have an extra LG Optimus)by WiESELMan - Developers
