Duet Web Control 2.0.0-RC3 is ready
-
@chrishamm : Sorry, I took a break from the Internet over the last week of the year, so I didn't get your response until now. Happy new Year.
I can respond that I was/am using the 1.21 wifi server, and did upgrade to the 2.02 firmware. I did not check for errors, but I did check Chrome for Windows, Chrome for Android, Internet Exploder, FireFox and MS Edge browsers, with the same result for all. I then restored the SD card image for my Duet that I made right before the upgrade (A basic precaution whenever making upgrades like this) to go back to the old DWC. I'll re-load the new RC3 and try again.

Just installed RC3 and yes it is a lot more responsive (performance not layout) now. Menu opens faster, switching to another entry in the menu is a lot faster. I like that a lot!
One thing I realized in RC2 still present in RC3: on the GCode Jobs page I have to scroll to the bottom of the page to get to the horizontal scrollbar. On my 1280x1024 screen I need the scrollbar to get to the columns with simulation time and generated by. Would be nicer to have this scrollbar always at the bottom of the visible screen. Not a big one but just wanted to mention it.
Also minor cosmetic thing: on the newly extended versions widget the version for Duet Wifi Server is cut off

Oooooh, fancy.
How would one configure a web cam?

mm/min ?

@Wyvern I have a RaspberryPi Zero W configured with the RPi Cam software. A simple search for it, should reveal the website and Github - installation is simply cloning the Github repository, and running the install (the website have the command to run). I prefer the nginx option compared to apache, but it is up to you which one. I have a guide on here how to set up a reverse proxy on the same RaspberyPi.
I will test the new version as soon as I have an opening.
-
@chrishamm, is there a demo site of this posted somewhere? I'm really curious, but I don't want to update my duet wifi (or anything related) until I resolve another issue.
Thanks

@burtoogle Thanks, will correct both.
@garyd9 At the moment you can only connect to remote machines in DWC2 if you run it on your own computer. This means you need to install NodeJS and clone the web interface repository first (the 'next' branch). After that you can run 'npm install' followed by 'npm run serve' in the cloned directory to start a local web server that lets you connect to your Duet board without having to install it first - in fact that is how I test stuff during development.
Support for multiple machines can be easily added in the future but I've got several other things on my TODO list which I need to take care of first.

@chrishamm it is a small thing but could you also add a setting where you can change the time Format?
From AM/PM to 1-24 h Format? (on the Temperature Chart) -
@as-3d-druck Hmm, according to the chart.js/moment.js documentation, RC3 should be using the local time format (i.e. 24-hour format with a German locale) but it still seems to be wrong. I'll have a look at it again.
-
@chrishamm : Happy NY!
RC3 is working now on my Duets, thanks for the hard work
-
@jacotheron cool, I never used a a pi. First time for everything.
-
is there a way to swap out the layer chart for the web cam feed?
-
Doesn't give me warm up time, using RC3. I do get the warm up time if I open up old web interface.
-
@bmonnin you have more than me lol. I don't get Warm-up time, last layer time, info in the layer chart or temperature chart. a refresh will get most back with the exception of the warm-up time.

I don't believe that setting sticks in 2.0 either.
-
Could one assume that 2.0 will eventually allow you to drag and rearrange each element on the page? Or hide (delete) them? And pick from a palette to add them. It's pretty standard practice these days in web design. OpenLM is good example of this concept. Mainly just wondering if it's a design goal.
-
@chrishamm I am really liking the updated DWC! This may be a dumb question but since you are starting a new DWC as a foundation for the future, would drag and drop/re-sizable windows ever be possible? This way anyone can set it up the way they like? Thanks for all your hard work!
-
the baby-step button wasn't slow because it was waiting, it was slow because it was animating, right?
I have to disagree with your assessment of the rest, which is why it's going to take forever for DWC to be useable.
I have built entire content management systems in a week long before all of these fancy libraries were around.
It sounds like you're relying on frameworks to be silver bullets. The notion that it is a PWA is misguided. Yes, we all want it on both desktop and mobile browsers, but going along with PWA methodology is a recipe for bloat and over complication.
I downloaded DWC1 source, added one JS library, and was able to turn it into a drag-n-drop re-arrange-able site in less than an hour.
I honestly think you're working too hard on it and not realizing that at it's essence, it's a ridiculously simple web site. It doesn't need anything fancy to be awesome.
This doesn't need to be a PWA, it needs to be control plane that can be layed out on desktop and mobile.
I guarantee you, based on your experience with the system, if you were to start from scratch, you could have something awesome in less than a week's time if you adopt the notion that you're building control panels for a machine, not a Progressive Web App. The site is only going to do so many things, and that so many, is very few. There are only a small handful of technical hurdles when it comes to working with the duet web-host, once those are knocked out, which you can do instantly, because you've done it before, it would take no time at all.

@chrishamm said in Duet Web Control 2.0.0-RC3 is ready:
- G-code pop-ups take you to the console only if you don't hit the 'X' button
This might be correct but the clickable area is tiny. I always try to hit the 'X' button but more often than not I get bumped to console. Using a mouse on a desktop PC.
Another minor issue (at least for me) that I found is in the JS console:
boards.js:75 Unsupported board duetwifi102, assuming Duet WiFilooking at the source code of this whenever something unknown is encountered it falls back to Duet Wifi. This is not an issue if one has any version of a Duet Wifi. But once you have a Duet Ethernet other than hardware rev. 1.0 this will also make it a Duet Wifi. This will be simple to fix by just adding aliases. Just wanted to mention it.
Another thing I like to mention is that I like that the menu is permanently expanded on larger screens. That is something, though, that annoys me on my smaller screen (1024px width) where I always have to do one more click to expand the menu before selecting another tab.
