BtnCmd-DWC Plugin - Customise DWC - v01.03.05 20-09-24

[SamanthaJaneyCake]

@mintytrebor I'm having the same installation error as stuartofmt. I tried installing A.0.8.20 on RRF 3.3 via the settings "upload system files" button but it just goes "upload complete" and doesn't bring up any instructions or similar.
There's now a folder in Sys which has the .json.

[MintyTrebor]

@samanthajaneycake Do you see the plugin installation wizard? What config are you running? (Standalone Board or Board/DSF/SBC)?

[MintyTrebor]

I have published 0.8.21 for DWC 3.3 & 3.4:

Changes:

• You can now choose to show/hide the DWC top panel when in the BtnCmd screen (Enable in Plugin Global Settings)

• Added more standard DWC panels, including:

  • Movement
  • Baby Stepping
  • Tools
  • Job Control
  • Extrusion Control
  • Extrusion Factors

Release Here:

@mintytrebor Cool!
Thanks for your work and this awesome PlugIn!

[cosmowave]

@mintytrebor Is it possible to include the temperature graph in the "standard DWC panels"? With adjustable size would be nice!

[MintyTrebor]

@cosmowave I'll have a look and push an update if I can include it.

[MintyTrebor]

@cosmowave - I have just published 0.9.01 which includes the standard DWC Temp Chart, plus a couple of bug fixes.

@mintytrebor Thank you very much! I will try it today evening.

@MintyTrebor Really looked forward to the hiding feature, but for some reason it doesn't work on my iPad Mini. It works fine on my Desktop, but on the iPad the setting doesn't even display.
In the plugin settings dialog it only displays the settings for:

• Action messages
• Selections in settings
• Height mod
• MQTT

All the other settings are missing... On the desktop, they all show up as expected.
I already tried various things:

• Reloading the page
• Restarting printer
• Stopping/Starting the plugin
• Verify the plugin shows the correct version on the iPad

Any ideas?

[MintyTrebor]

@diamondback It is not intended to work on mobile devices / devices with a small screen (as mentioned in the release notes for that feature). There is already a button displayed by default on mobile clients in DWC (in the top right corner) which shows and hides the top section. Enabling BtnCmd's show/hide function would conflict with that default feature.

It is possible you are working in a resolution which falls between the frameworks definition of mobile and desktop, if you do not see green button in the top right then tell me your resolution and I will check the frameworks specification.

BtnCmd has a number of features that are disabled on Mobile clients, which should be documented in the wiki.

[Diamondback]

@mintytrebor Ha, ok, feeling a bit stupid now
The button is there, yep.

However, it does not quite work as nicely as the desktop version. On desktop, I can have BtnCmd hide the top panel in its own tab, but other tabs still work fine.
On the iPad, if I hide the top with the dedicated button, it's gone for all tabs... Which is a bit annoying to use. I really just need the top hidden in BtnCmd (due to fairly limited screen space).

But ok, if you run into issues with that functionality, that's understandable

[Diamondback]

@mintytrebor Now I do need to come back to you, while what you said works in portrait mode, in landscape it doesn't. Neither the DWC button nor the BtnCmd settings show up.
It's an iPad Mini 4 with a screen resolution of 2048×1536

[MintyTrebor]

@diamondback I'll check the framework and see if there is anything I can do with BtnCmd & that resolution. It's also possible that BtnCmd is not detecting the rotation and updating its settings once its already loaded.

Obviously there is nothing I can do about the standard DWC green button feature

How would I manually trigger a resolution change detection? I tried just reloading the page, that didn't change anything though.

[MintyTrebor]

@diamondback OK found the issue, my code considers anything less than 1264px as mobile, the iPad 4 renders @ 1024x768 (not the native resolution you mentioned), so I can adjust my code to lower the mobile trigger to <960px. I'll make the change in the next release.

[Diamondback]

@mintytrebor Cool, looking forward to this

[MintyTrebor]

Published BtnCmd Beta 0.9.02 for DWC 3.3 and 3.4b5

Changes:
Changed mobile screen size detection parameters.
Added experimental mitigation to prevent the navigation bar drawing behind BtnCmd Panels when the navigation bar is automatically hidden.
Changed settings to enforce enablement of the Top Panel Show/Hide button if "Hide Top Panel by default" option is enabled.

[Diamondback]

@mintytrebor Works perfectly, thanks a lot!

[Diamondback]

@mintytrebor Is there any way to display arbitrary text? I want to make headers for my custom panels so things are a little cleaner.
Something like this:

(I used an objectmodel panel for this that points to a null value)

[MintyTrebor]

@diamondback Published Beta 0.9.03

Changes:
Added Text/Label Panel - User defined text string with options for text orientation, text colour, and background colour.
Enabled ability to hide panel border for Machine Model Value, and Text/Label panels.
