@nomukaiki free for testing if you need any.
I have enough machines to play with

That will be super useful! Thanks! I am interested to speaking with you about the "remote access" that you suggested. I am not sure what other type of remote access you are suggesting. Is it about accessing the printers outside of your local network?

[jay_s_uk]

@nomukaiki yea. Similar to this for octoprint https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/anywhere/

Feel free to pm me

telegram is the best solution for this out there attm imho.
in order to communicate with your printer you either need to allow access to it from the wan (port forwarding - complicated to many users, unsafe..) or you need your printer to initiate connection and in this case you need a "server" somewhere on the internet (the way "anywhere", "the spaghetty..", "telegram" and some other plugins work)... telegram's bot system is awesome and alow you to create super complicate system for free

[jay_s_uk]

telegram was what I used to use back in the octoprint days.

you need your printer to initiate connection

Is this already available on Duet? Can it be configured to do a "ping" to a configured host?

nope, it is not

@nomukaiki I meant to say #4 will send you down a deep dark rabbit hole. I have been putting time into a 3D viewer plugin for the upcoming 3.2 DWC.

[nomukaiki]

@Sindarius that's really great! Nice job so far. I can definitely embed a web component, but I would prefer to have a more native experience/responsiveness on the app. But I agree with you that it would be almost an app by itself (as a development effort). Maybe you would be happy to learn dartlang and do contribute?

remote access to a duet in a similar fashion that can can be done with octoprint
obviously an SBC would be required for this though

I've added it to my list as the new number 13.

I am sooo excited about this. I'm using a cheap Android tablet as a PanelDue alternative, and a native app would be amazing.

So for me:
8,9,2,10,1,4,5,6,13,,3,12,11

High on my list is responsiveness, at-a-glance information display, and macro access and execution.

Please make sure we have a way to pay you a little bit for your time!

Thanks @whopping-pochard ! What version of OS and tablet model (screen size) are you using?

[whopping pochard]

@nomukaiki It's a 7" tablet running Android 9.

[nomukaiki]

To keep you updated, this is what I've manage to do so far on my spare time. The app side-by-side with DWC.

[jay_s_uk]

I want to play with it now! Lol

[nomukaiki]

Now on an Android 7'' tablet. Looks a bit big but I'll sort out the sizes and styling after getting all the features in!

Any droid users out here?! Send me PM and I'll share an APK for you to start playing around. The app is read only yet, but allows multiple printers.

[Sindarius]

@nomukaiki are you planning on putting something up on GitHub?

[nomukaiki]

@Sindarius yes I am planning to do so. Not just yet because the project is still a bit of playground and I would be ashamed to show an unfinished product. But I am more than happy to invite anyone that asks to join the repository.

@nomukaiki Preference 1 ie Ipad2 which seems not to connect over wifi, on various browsers.

@nomukaiki that would be nice to be able to access the web control through a IOS device. If your using a rpi with your duet would the app be useful or it would mainly be for those who use the duet in standalone configuration?

The app will still work with or without a rpi. It connects directly to the duet firmware.
I find the app useful because it is native on the mobile and it will be more efficient on the interaction, communication control, multiple printers, notifications, possible to use AR, etc
