Help jar bundle/compile ugs-cli

[Milner99]

Hi,

The ugs-cli has run instructions to execute a shell java command against a .jar that isn't included in the ugs-cli folder. Please can someone help me bundle/compile that jar for use with Raspberry Pi?

thank you

The cli-variant of UGS is currently only included in the classic edition, the script is called start-cli.sh

Lovely, downloaded and moved to the Pi. Using the UI the carve is lovely. The CLI doesn't want to start? I fully expect it's me doing something wrong! - thoughts?

Probably problems with file rights. Try to set it with the following:

chmod ugo+x start-cli.sh

As a side note, you shouldn't need to run the command with sudo. If you have problems accessing the USB-controller there might be some user rights missing to the pi-user. These can be added by adding the pi-user to the dialout group using the following command and a restart.

sudo adduser pi dialout

Pi is a member of dial out already - the permission change helped and now I see this output. I'm looking to be able to launch a carve process using the .jar as per the help files (from my CMS using python or php exec()).

Like this:
java -jar ugs-cli-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --controller GRBL --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 --print-progressbar --file test.gcode

Thank you for all your help.

Figured it out, thank you for all your help @breiler

The documentation says in the CLI folder
java -jar ugs-cli-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar --controller GRBL --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 --print-progressbar --file test.gcode
This however just launched UGS UI and works great but isn't CLI.

Can I suggest that the docs in the CLI folder (readme.md) get padded a little and/or changed to perhaps say: Launch from command line example, use:
./start-cli.sh --controller GRBL --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 --print-progressbar --file test.gcode

That is what I used to carve successfully from the terminal.

Thanks again.
