The iPendant is now available in the App Store. The screenshot user's guide also on the site.
For next major update already in the pipeline:
- Add IP Camera feed. This is activated when the screen dim while a gcode program is running. (with Audio). Camera can be positioned to look at PP main screen if certain messages are important, or it can be looking at the work piece. I am already testing this setup with the App, will make a video of it soon.
- Add a decoder to transfer/Sync tool database from LinuxCNC & PathPilot to the iPad.
- Add Custom Pins page similar to Custom Buttons, this can bring in custom data such as Temperature, Pressure, Flow readings and also output Custom control to IO devices or other custom functions.
- Offer HAL pins to accompany current virtual keyboard functions, this gives developers and custom installers full control over using this App for any machine running native LinuxCNC/MachineKit.
Please do subscribe to the mailing list to receive iPendant related development.
Installation pack is ready but will be offered via email for now until any teething issues (if any) come up and resolved.
I actually do not expect any issues with installation on actual controllers considering the changes being made are just few lines. Please PM or send email via the site.
