Command Line Communication

[Default]

Sailfish does not understand Gcode. You can convert and send together with GPX if you can get it to work correctly, I failed on that front.

Yeah true; but what interface would I use to send the (converted) commands to the printer? PuTTY or something similar maybe? Is this even possible?

GPX sends it to the printer directly

Normally to make a x3g file you use:
gpx "input file.gcode" "output file.gcode

If you do:
gpx -"input file.gcode" "serial port name"

You need to check your control panel (Windo$e) or /dev directory (Linux and Mac) for the serial port name.

Then it is supposed to go out of the serial port. I think it works fine on Windo$e and Mac but I can't make it work under Linux.
