Due to performance constrains on some development boards such as Raspberry Pi, remote slicer could be used to speed up process substantially and handle larger 3D files.

This function delegate slicing to another NanoDLP installation. If this field not filled, computer uploading a new plate will be scanned for active NanoDLP installation (only on port 8080) and will be used as default slicer for ARM systems. If TCP IP:Port specified for remote NanoDLP, system will try to use it as remote slicer.

How remote Slicer works: (example)

  1. NanoDLP installed on Raspberry Pi and Windows computer being used by user.
  2. A new plate uploaded to Raspberry Pi.
  3. Raspberry Pi NanoDLP detects active NanoDLP installation on users's Windows computer.
  4. Raspberry Pi transfer required data to Windows.
  5. NanoDLP on Windows start processing.
  6. NanoDLP on Raspberry Pi get status update from Windows version. And wait until slicing get completed.
  7. NanoDLP on Raspberry Pi fetch prepared data.
