Paper Tools gSender Plugin

A NodeJs script that runs the remote version of gSender and allows it to be controlled by Paper Tools

Originally created to work on my Shapeoko 2 CNC Router, this is a starting point for controlling your CNC through gSender with Paper Tools. The script facillitates communication using a TCP connection to Paper Tools and control of gSender through Puppeteer to control your CNC

Warning

The script is a WIP and by no means has full functionality. YMMV with getting things to work escpecially on different machines

Feel free to PR improvments and functionality!

Prerequisites

• You must set up gSender for remote mode
• You must run Paper Tools

Usage

Run the following commands in a terminal from the root of this project:

This will install the dependencies needed

npm install

This will run the plugin

npm run start

The plugin will then start a Chromium instance that connects to gSender remote and control it based on the instructions from Paper Tools
