The printing channel... or what to do with a webcam.
-
So... I have a duet2wifi. Love it. I also have a number of raspberry flavoured pis. One of them has the PI camera on it. I would like to have automated time-lapse of the printer running ... partially to identify what set off the pile of spaghetti I sometimes find.
I see there's a plugin --- motion webcam plugin --- but I'm a little on the back foot trying to figure out ... Does it do what I want? How do I install it?
What would I like? Ideally a time-lapse stored for each print. What is minimal --- I suppose the default is just putting the camera in motion mode.

@zBeeble unless you're running the duet 2 in SBC (having removed the wifi module etc) you can't use the motion plugin.
Have a look at duetlapse https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3 as it should do what you wantOwns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

@jay_s_uk so... you're saying that the duet is mounted into an SBC --- via serial or whatever the wifi/ethernet connect to?
-
@zBeeble no. you either remove the ethernet module and use the headers there or remove the wifi module and then solder to the board.
See https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/31725/duet-2-wifi-sbc and https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/17203/duet-2-ethernet-and-sbc/163?_=1617469843240
The SBC then connects to the board using SPI -
@jay_s_uk I have to say, my mind is kinda blown on what this can do. I suppose I'm off on this rabbit hole today.
