RepRaptor - minimalistic Qt-based host

Hello! It is about time to make a post here, so...

Introducing RepRaptor



Firs off - why? Why do we need another host controller?
It is simple - this one is going to be as minimal as possible. Written in pure Qt and C++, no interpreted languages involved.
It also aimed to do less - for example, in case of serial error during print it would not stop the printing, it would pause it instead, letting you continue printing if issue is resolved.

Simple does not mean crippled - any functionality archivable without sacrificing speed and portability is welcome.
So far features are:

• Gcode sending
• SD card printing & progress reporting
• EEPROM editor
• GCode console
• Many controls

Also there is known issues at the moment (0.3.5)

• No Marlin support (Repetier and Smoothie works)
• On some Windows systems 64bit version crashes (32bit works)
• Baudrate higher than 115200 is not supported (Qserialport problem, looking for workaround)

Right now I am already using RepRaptor as my primary host, but I only have Repetier-firmware. Since this piece of software started as a software for internal usage in my university, It had never been tested on anything, but Repetier-firmware. So now I am working on Marlin support - it is #1 priority.

GitHub - with Windows, Linux and OSX binaries, and also PPA for Ubuntu
