Programming Own GUI

Syniad

Hello I am still very new to 3D printing. I have the problem that I need some extra functionalities in my GUI. So I wonder if it is possible to program a custom interface based on repetier. Can the repetier API be used in this context?

Repetier

The GUI is completely javascript/html based and all communication uses the web api.

You can add buttons to call web functions, external commands or send gcode (and starting with 1.0.4 to change gpio pins in linux). In printer configuration you can also add modofications to implement own printer commands or events to react on special printer responses.

Also describes how to make plugins to add own windows.

So you can use that all or you can of course write an own interface for special purposes. The web api references at the bottom a sample javascript implementation for communication handling.
