Nice one Samuel!

Here is a nice opensource project with a gcode parser, gcode viewer and auto leveller, it is written in java so I do know it that fits your needs  but I thought it may help.

Hello Samuel 
I beg you not give up on your CycloneHostforWindows project. 
I have Visual Studio, I have done several plugins for CambamCNC software, on C# language. 
If you provide the source code I can help you. 
I'm loving the Cyclone!

Hi Samuel 

The your Visual Studio is 2012, mine is 2010, no problem. 
I converted and changed the file "GCodeView.xaml.cs" to highlight G0. 
Attached file "DTMF_Shield-B_Cu.nc" with the G3 command was generated in the 
Cambam. 
In CycloneHost will have to implement the G3 and G2 command, especially 
detect the G20 and G21 to frame gCodeView. 
You know the OpenTK?

Hi, 
no never heard of OpenTK.. feel free to replace the gcode viewer.. it is just a crappy control i programmed..

hey guys,

the last few weeks i was working on my CycloneHost software :).

little Update:

  

Features:
- GCode 3D Preview
- GCode Streaming
- Manual Control
- CameraAlignment
- PCB Probing (not implemented atm)

This is an ALPHA! Version. It contains lot of bugs and currently there is no(less) error catching. so please do not use this software unattended. Especially the Gcode Streaming is very buggy!

Requirements: Windows 64Bit / .net Framework 4.5

I've pinned it in the google groups page. Thank you! :D

The GUI looks pretty nice. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work with marlin yet. I can only execute 3-4 GCODE commands before having to reconnect again as nothing happens. There is also some (visual?) bug in the Settings tab: every time you press SAVE, Probing values are getting multiplied by 10 :) I know this is an alpha tho, so this rather looks good, (feature-wise). Keep up the good work! :)

hi, thanks :D

I forgot to mention that its only grbl compatible :S since Im developing with grbl. I will change the hardcoded gcodes to something xml based :D.
I will fix the bug with the probing values when I integrate the probing algorithm. thanks for the feedback :)

Hello Samuel,

Since you has published your "CycloneHost" software there was great progress.
I thought you had given up of your project.
I have two systems, Windows 7 and Windows 10 stood excellent!
.NET Framework 4.5 is really .NET Framework 4.0!
Please update your source code, Thank you for your contribution.

Hi, thanks for testing :)
The next days i will release a little update (store settings, marlin support, bug fixes,...) I will also update the source code of the cyclonehost project on github.

Hi Samuel, 

Have you got a timeline for the release of the marlin supported version on GitHub?
Your software looks very good, and I am nearly complete on my first Cyclone (2.1).

keep up the good work,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,
currently I'm implementing (almost done) the marlin part (except probing). I haven't got a particular timeline since I'm a student, I code whenever I've got some spare-time - sometimes more sometimes less.
Maybe I can release tomorrow or on Sunday an untested(!) Version which should support Marlin (currently I've got no board which runs Marlin) .

As promised a little update.

 whats new:
 - xmlbased 
    - Settings (load only), 
    - Commandset for manual control 
    - a file called MachineStatus which contains the stuff needed to get the machine status
 
the alpha2 is configured for marlin - untested (please try to work with marlin)

if you want to work with grbl simply replace the xml files with the preconfigured ones in xml/Marlin or xml/GRBL
there is also an info doc in xml/info.txt

Hi 
Aaron sent me a modified version of CycloneControl which works with Marlin. I will integrate the changes into the mainbranch soon, until then you can download his changes here :)
