Android Tablet

Hello, I was wondering if Nanodlp would work using an android tablet and screen mirroring to project slices?

Re: Android Tablet

You can try use nanodlp with browser code to see if android table screen is suitable for 3D printing or not.
There are couple of posts about this solution on the forum. If it works, we can develop dedicated app for android to use any android device as projection device.

Re: Android Tablet

I'm pretty sure an ARM simulator will work to run nanodlp, the real question is will android properly display slices? I'll play around with it and keep you posted on my experiments. I think at the end if we can have a version like the windows nano run on android it would be so much more portable.

Please, check out thread below. If can make it works correctly, it will be easy to develop android app to display slices properly.

Re: Android Tablet

Shahin, where should I insert this code so I can start testing? And I'm assuming it's the Linux ARM version, correct?

Re: Android Tablet

You need to serve it on any web server. Or on nanodlp and open this page on your android device

Re: Android Tablet

That doesn't really answer my question, forgive me if it's obvious and I just don't know. Which specific file folder does the code go into so it works with the program? And which specific program version would run on android? Thanks

Copy file the file into /home/pi/printer/public
Open browser on your android device and put pi_ip/static/filename into browser

writes  [ Error writing cd/home/pi/printer/public: Not a directory ]

Re: Android Tablet

How you write to file? Command above should change directory but it does not have space required after cd.
