RasPi service not starting
I installed the server on a Pi Zero W following the steps on the Wiki.
I am able to manually start the server with: node server.js, and all seems to be working properly.
I cannot get it to run as a service with systemd however. When checking the status with: sudo systemctl status lw.comm-server, here is what I get.
● lw.comm-server.service - LaserWeb4 server Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/lw.comm-server.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Tue 2017-10-17 20:11:33 CDT; 9min ago Process: 772 ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /home/pi/lw.comm-server/server.js (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Main PID: 772 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

I am not very familiar with configuring systemd services, so I apologize ahead of time if it is something simple that should be common knowledge. I have searched for an answer without much luck.
Thanks
I am not familliar with Pi Zero. Do you use the same Raspbian Jessie on the Zero like on a Raspberry Pi 3?
Yes, the Raspbian images are the same.
As stated, I can manually start the server, so while waiting for ideas on this issue, I decided to play around some.
I ran a quick greyscale raster job, and the Pi Zero was not able to keep up with the massive amount of gcode used for rastering, and I would get short stutters in the movement. This of course would cause a dark spot in the image.
I was afraid this may be the case, so I have decided to pick up another Pi3 to run the server. Because of this, I am no longer going to persue thus issue.
