Duet Web Control

Duet Web Control is a fully-responsive HTML5-based web interface for RepRapFirmware which utilizes the Bootstrap framework, JQuery and a few other libraries to allow easy control of Duet-based 3D printer electronics.

It is designed to communicate with RepRapFirmware using WebSockets and RESTful HTTP requests. One goal of the core application is to keep things compact, so a good loading speed can be achieved even on slow networks. Another one is to communicate to the firmware using only AJAX calls, which either return JSON objects, plain texts or binary blobs.

Duet Web Control is free software; it is licensed under the terms of the GNU Public License v3.

Project setup

npm install

Note that you need to set the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable to --openssl-legacy-provider in order to build DWC 3.4 and older with a recent Node version. On Windows, you can either define it globally or run

$env:NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"

in a PowerShell terminal. On Linux, you can run

export NODE_OPTIONS="--openssl-legacy-provider"

instead. DWC v3.5 will no longer require this work-around.

Compiles and hot-reloads for development

npm run serve

In order to use the local development setup with software versions >= 3.2.0, it is possible to add M586 C"*" to your config.g. However, this is a potential security issue because it permits cross-origin requests from ALL foreign sites.

Compiles and minifies for production

npm run build
