The Axes widget shows the XYZA values of the axes of your CNC controller. It also enables you to jog, home, change units, and change Work Coordinate Systems.

ChiliPeppr Widget / XYZ Axes v2

All ChiliPeppr widgets/elements are defined using cpdefine() which is a method that mimics require.js. Each defined object must have a unique ID so it does not conflict with other ChiliPeppr widgets.

ID	com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz
Name	Widget / XYZ Axes v2
Description	The Axes widget shows the XYZA values of the axes of your CNC controller. It also enables you to jog, home, change units, and change Work Coordinate Systems.

Example Code for chilipeppr.load() Statement

You can use the code below as a starting point for instantiating this widget inside a workspace or from another widget. The key is that you need to load your widget inlined into a div so the DOM can parse your HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Then you use cprequire() to find your widget's Javascript and get back the instance of it.

// Inject new div to contain widget or use an existing div with an ID
$("body").append('<' + 'div id="myDivWidgetXyz"><' + '/div>');

chilipeppr.load(
  "#myDivWidgetXyz",
  "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/jamador47/widget-axes/master/auto-generated-widget.html",
  function() {
    // Callback after widget loaded into #myDivWidgetXyz
    // Now use require.js to get reference to instantiated widget
    cprequire(
      ["inline:com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz"], // the id you gave your widget
      function(myObjWidgetXyz) {
        // Callback that is passed reference to the newly loaded widget
        console.log("Widget / XYZ Axes v2 just got loaded.", myObjWidgetXyz);
        myObjWidgetXyz.init();
      }
    );
  }
);

Signal	Description
/com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz/com-chilipeppr-interface-cnccontroller/axes	We want X,Y,Z,A,MX,MY,MZ,MA axis updates.

/com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz/com-chilipeppr-interface-cnccontroller/plannerpause	We need to know when to pause sending jog cmds.
/com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz/com-chilipeppr-interface-cnccontroller/plannerresume	We need to know when to resume jog cmds.
/com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz/com-chilipeppr-interface-cnccontroller/units	Deprecated. Not listening to this anymore. See next.
/com-chilipeppr-widget-xyz/com-chilipeppr-widget-3dviewer/unitsChanged	Listenting to see if the 3D Viewer is telling us that the user Gcode is in a specific coordinate and then just assuming we will only be sent axes coordinate updates in that unit. Not using /com-chilipeppr-interface-cnccontroller/units anymore.

About ChiliPeppr

ChiliPeppr is a hardware fiddle, meaning it is a website that lets you easily create a workspace to fiddle with your hardware from software. ChiliPeppr provides a Serial Port JSON Server that you run locally on your computer, or remotely on another computer, to connect to the serial port of your hardware like an Arduino or other microcontroller.

You then create a workspace at ChiliPeppr.com that connects to your hardware by starting from scratch or forking somebody else's workspace that is close to what you are after. Then you write widgets in Javascript that interact with your hardware by forking the base template widget or forking another widget that is similar to what you are trying to build.

ChiliPeppr is massively capable such that the workspaces for TinyG and Grbl CNC controllers have become full-fledged CNC machine management software used by tens of thousands.

ChiliPeppr has inspired many people in the hardware/software world to use the browser and Javascript as the foundation for interacting with hardware. The Arduino team in Italy caught wind of ChiliPeppr and now ChiliPeppr's Serial Port JSON Server is the basis for the Arduino's new web IDE. If the Arduino team is excited about building on top of ChiliPeppr, what will you build on top of it?
