Change Server-IP to `Raspi-IP:8000` (replace Raspi-IP with the IP of your Raspi).Open URL `Raspi-IP:8000` (replace Raspi-IP with the IP of your Raspi).Open Chrome Browser (or Chromium) on any PC in your network (not on a Raspi!).Connect your machine to one of the Raspi USB ports.Insead of installing the frontend, your can alternatively just use a web browser (preferably chrome) to call the server integrated frontend. Connect your machine to one of the USB portsĬhange Server-IP to `RasPi-IP:8000` (replace RasPi-IP with the IP of your RasPi) This way you get the lastest frontend version. Install the LaserWeb4 executable on your Windows, OSX or Linux PC.
