Finally got a little time this morning and tried it. Came up with a lot of words that don't currently mean much to me, in the context of computing
Thanks for the help, will Google further to try and find more info on the subject.

@cvoinescu: Probably a little of both. There is only so much more that I can cram into the 328p, and there will likely have to be some heavy-handed executive decisions on what goes in and what doesn't. But, the critical stuff will go in, at least in a function capacity. Please excuse my ignorance, ...

Code: Select all

man ln

for the man page on the ln command which will explain to you how to create a link using that command.

Thanks, I'll have a pop at that if I get up early enough tomorrow morning!

I've tried that with several things that I wanted a desktop shortcut for, doesn't seem to work.

Nice in theory. But my laptop and PC are both in my office - SO3 is in the garage. Not terribly effective in setting up the job (homing, zeroing, probing for Z). You could always add a small, cheap screen for the RPi. That's what I intend to do, I want to work at home like I do at work - all CAD/CA...

OK - I should really make this a tutorial on the wiki or something when I get time (and an account), but for now, here's the simplest way I can describe it... Thank you Shook, as a total programming/Rpi/Arduino noob I sincerely appreciate the patience and help from people such as yourself. I follow...

Yes, there are easier ways... I tried renaming my g code with a lower case .nc file extension and it worked! I'm currently using MasterCam, it automatically saves g code with an upper case .NC file extension. Still stuck with the screen icon problem, I've tried sudo echo '#!/bin/bash' >/usr/local/b...

At which point does it say that? Immediately after entering the first line: sudo echo '#!/bin/bash' Uhm, can you please try with a .nc (small, not capital) extension? It might be case sensitive, in which case it would be a bug which I can easily fix. I'll try it first thing in the morning (I can't ...

Hmmm, tried copy/pasting the start.sh file to a terminal, doesn't seem to like that either.
"Unable to access jarfile"

Yes, there are easier ways. The cd command is used to navigate to the directory (folder, as they are called under windows, if you are more familiar with that) where the software was downloaded to. Assuming that you ran all the commands above from your home directory, which is the default, you can t...
