Nope… no android. Only RPI, linux, Win10-32 and Win10-64.
If you get the pi up and running, just leave it hooked up and dedicated to webcontrol. Use your current computer to as the browser to talk to webcontrol. Webcontrol is a web-server, doesn’t need keyboard/mouse/screen.
I’ll consider that once I get things back up and running, thanks. For now I’m off to build a new sled then see if I can get my 3dprinted z-axis going.

Pretty neat… novel use of the drawer slides.
I’ll updateyou in a day or 2. Thanks for your help
quick question. is there a specific folder its looking for gcode? i can’t seem to change the path.
Everything is located in the
C:\users\<your username>\.WebControl
directory. But think of webcontrol as a webserver. If you want to send something to the server, using a browser, you upload it to the server (Gcode->Upload). Webcontrol will then store the uploaded file in that directory (under a gcode subdirectory). It’s that subdirectory you have access to via the browser. I’d love to improve upon this part, but it’s not trivial to do. After you upload a file, it will automatically be opened. To open it at another time, just use Gcode->Open
But you can just move files there using Windows explorer. Webcontrol was written for an RPI used in a headless environment (no keyboard, mouse, monitor)
What are the expected measurements when running Holy calibration through we control?
ps it’s nice that you put them close enough together to use a yard stick! Good thinking!
Oh and do you run it twice once to input results and the again to check accuracy?
The holes are cut 10-inches in from the edge of whatever size frame you have (likely a 4’x8’ sheet)… As example, top left to bottom left should be 28-inches apart (711.2 mm)…
Run through holey calibration fully at least twice.
Ran 6 times and got down to E2.55! Very good I think? I’m very excited about it.

Do a little searching, unless it’s changed very recently you can still do a free legal upgrade from W7 to W10 on your shop computer.

I think you may use onmousemove instead of onclick to execute commands in webcontrol? When I try to execute a command it never happens until I move the cursor, I would have probably never noticed but I’m using my trackpad out in the shop.
No, it uses onclick. That does seem odd though. What browser are you using?
chrome
It seems to happen when using the directional move keys at least thats when I noticed it
Is this still on the Windows 7 machine or a Windows 10 machine? I’m running windows 10 and my trackpad doesn’t cause any issues.
windows 10
Press ctrl-shift-i to bring up chrome’s debugger, select the console tab, and press one of the arrow keys on the screen. It should immediately say “action=move” on the console tab. If it doesn’t, move the mouse pad and see if it reports then (which is what you are describing, but this can at least see if a message is being sent upon click or not).
I assume you are running 0.932?
hmmm. Seems to be working fine now!
I meant to ask, when running HC do you need to accept results and then run again or can you just hit calculate and then run again? Also are the settings stored on the board so I can shut down and theyll still be in there next time I fire up?
