CNCjs with GRBL CNC on a Raspberry Pi
See original GitHub issueIssue Description
Hello guys.
I’m having issues to connect the CNCjs with my GRLB printer. It was installed on the Raspberry PI. Any help would be great since I really want to use CNCjs.
The CNCjs can connect but I can’t control the CNC, the arrows are greyed out. Commands on the CNCjs’ console return nothing.
However, the CNC is working since control through the serial console from the command line.
Someone told that installing node serialport with sudo may cause issues. However, I was not able to install the CNCjs without sudo.
I got this 3018 CNC recently.
I saw that my CNC was using GRBL 0.9j so I updated to use 1.1j but it didn’t help much. Also, connecting the printer on my computer I can control the printer with the bCNC software.
It is my first time working with CNCs. Also, I never installed node applications before.

Hmmm - the other thing that comes to mind is maybe there is some other process that is listening on the serial port and eating some of the characters. Aha - yep, its the repetier service.
I am starting to suspect that the serialport module is confused about line endings - or maybe it is an xon/xoff problem. I vaguely remember that someone was having a problem like that. I will try to find the issue that described it.
