Pronterface - is it Printrun?

[3dnerd 6]

Hi,

I wanted to download pronterface to get used to it.If I google for 'pronterface' I am linked to www.pronterface.com.

If I move to this site I see a tool called 'printrun'.

Is printrun the same as pronterface?

2nd question:

Is it possible to send a gcode to UM2 using Cura (15.02.1).

 

Thanks...

1. I believe so.

2. Could be, but it's not officially supported.

From https://github.com/kliment/Printrun

 

Printrun consists of printcore, pronsole and pronterface, and a small collection of helpful scripts.

 

• [*]printcore.py is a library that makes writing reprap hosts easy

[*]pronsole.py is an interactive command-line host software with tabcompletion goodness

[*]pronterface.py is a graphical host software with the same functionality as pronsole

@Amedee: ahhh thanks :wink:

@nallath: I need something to send gcodes to UM2, therefor I asked the 2nd question in my post:

2nd question:

Is it possible to send a gcode to UM2 using Cura (15.02.1).

 

If it is not possible using Cura then I need an alternative such as pronterface, even if it is not officially supported.
