Thats something I want. The current g-code viewer in Repetier-Host is murky at best, and I'm very interested in developing a replacement user interface. I'd be up for helping out with that. Some time ago I was trying to figure out why our temperatures were reported as being consistently off, so I poured over the Marlin code for a few days. As a result, I'm quite familiar with it. I came to the conclusion that we need a high quality thermocouple to measure and verify the temperature tables. > > Thanks again for considering my application. > > On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 7:54 PM, a l <leit...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Discuss list members, > > David Morely > > He's been hanging around the space since at least three mini maker fair. > > His application says he's a hacker from way back. > > > > At this point he has scheduled his official interview and membership vote > > for next Weeks meeting (11/ 26).
