Step 4 The browser interface
On the openplotter pypilot User Interface screen, there are two more buttons ‘Browser Control’, and ‘Open’. 'Browser Control' is a toggle, you can switch it on, and it enables the browser interface.
When you click 'Open', it starts a browser on http://localhost:8080, which is where the browser interface sits.
Note: on Tinypilot, the interface sits at port :80
In fact, you can also open the browser interface from the machine where you are running your VNC client on. Just type http://10.10.10.1:8080/ and you see the browser interface.
At the moment of writing, it shows pypilot Server: Not Connected. This seems to be related to a library incompatibity that can be solved with the following workaround:
sudo pip3 uninstall python-socketio python-engineio flask-socketio
sudo pip3 install "flask-socketio<5" "python-socketio<5"
Note: if you run pypilot_web at the prompt, for debugging purposes, it serves at port 8000 instead of 8080, so you need to type http://10.10.10.1:8000.
