DueUI: An Alternate Web Interface
-
@davea The ATX issue is that I forgot to add a status for "O" (off) to the
status map at the bottom of the config file.Add...
"O": {"label": "Off","style": {"background": "red","color": "black"}},
to the status_map object after the entry for "H".

Does refreshing the browser between theme switches help at all?
No, there are little differents from hight of Buttons and so on.
Never mind, now I use only theme BASE as my Basic.Other feedback:
After pressing STOP, the printer stops as expected immediately - but then the DWC asks "The firmware still reports to be stopped after an emergency stop." and must be answered there - unfortunately not on DueUI. Even pressing the "RESTART" button on the DueUI does not help.Is there a solution here?

Hmmm. On my Duet, when I send M112, the Duet restarts by itself and is ready again in about 15 seconds. Try it with the DWC disconnected and see what happens on DueUI.

Without a connect from DWC to the Duet every is OK.
Other question:
with
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": "M98 Px_macro_test01.g"}]
i can call a file, but how can i call a macro from the macro-subfolder?
... for example "\macros\Tools\Tool bed messuring 5 points"

Below I want to show you what I have created in the last few days with the DueUI.
DueUI is certainly not a replacement for DWC, but for me the ideal basis as a control panel directly on the printer.
Small netbook (without touch) was ok so far, but the operation with mouse pad was not so comfortable. Also the picture quality was not so sharp.Desire was as much control panels by touch on little surfaceas as possible and not to lose the overview - so actually a contradiction.
Since my 10 inch tablet only serves once a year as a navigation tool on the boat, it has now got a great job againSurely everyone has it's own idea of ββwhat an ergonomic and clear surface is, but with the DueUI you can quite well realize your own taste.
With a little bit of logical thinking, even a non-programmer like me can do something with it.Below are a few pictures of my current state in the Chrom-browser:
Display in normal mode, axes homed, ATX ON
ATX OFF
And now in full-screen - and now the status indicator is visible
After a reboot - axes not homed and ATX OFF
Open selection menu
The operation of the axes with the jogging as a cross is closer to reality, but so the place is much better exploited - we are all professionals and come so synonymous with it
If you are interested, I will gladly provide the configuration file, but without any guarantee and with the note that certain details are adapted to MY printer and probably only usable on a 10 inch tablet.

When a macro is in a subdirectory, you have to use the full path...
M98 P"/macros/Tools/Tool bed messuring 5 points.g"

That's fantastic! It's demonstrates perfectly the whole point of DueUI: Creating something that works for YOU. Thanks for sharing it!
I was thinking of enabling the Wiki on GitHub where others could share their designs. Maybe this will be the first.

I tried
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": "P"/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.g""}]
but this would not work (Syntax error of CSS) because of the double quotes
β¦ this
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": "P/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.g"}]
is for the CSS correctly, but the Duet can not interpret that because:
--> Error: Bad command: P/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.gSomehow, the 2 "quotes" must be passed in the Statement within the outer quotation marks

Another Question:
Is it possible to show the value of the slider?
In my pictures you can see that I have inserted 3x? as a placeholder

You can either escape the double quotes with backslashes:
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": "P\"/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.g\""}]
or in javascript, single and double quotes do the same thing:
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": "P'/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.g'"}]
or:
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": 'P"/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.g"'}]
or if your macro path doesn't have spaces, you can leave the inner quotes off:
"actions": [{"type": "gcode", "gcode": "P/macros/Tools/Only_a_test.g"}]
BUT see below.

The best way to do that right now is to have those "???" placeholders be buttons and track the state of the fanPercent values in the status message just as the slider does.
"read_only: true, "status_level": 1, "value": "${status.params.fanPercent[0]}",
Change "0" to correspond to each slider's value.
In the next release, I'll add the capability to have labels also track status variables.

Now it works

First i tried it with "label" ... without success
code adapted:
{ "id": "fan_0_label2", "type": "button", "enabled": true, "read_only": true, "status_level": 1, "value": "${status.params.fanPercent[0]}%", "style": {"width": "9ch","height": "30px", "font-size": "10px", "text-align": "center"}, "initial_value": "---%", "position": {"my": "left top", "at": "right+3 top+1", "of": "#fan_0"} },
and this is the result:
I'm very satisfied

I appreciate this project as I use a tablet for controlling the printer with DWC. DWC in a browser is very touch sensitive and I tend to activate stuff I dont mean to and often accidentally refreshes the browser by dragging witch creates a lot of irritation for me. This is a android tablet with chrome browser
Is this UI more user friendly in the touch department?
Is it possible to make an application for mobile devices that is not just a browser based solution? I was very happy with the printoid app when using octoprint. It was an awesome controller with a tablet
-
Update made on alpha3 and also tested and implemented the new ATX button ... really nice option
Unfortunately, I do not understand the other possibilities or how exactly the syntax must be.
I wanted different actions in a widget and a pop-up dialog with selection and subsequent execution of the selected selection.So the "choose" variant of my test without success:
/* START of TEST choose-button */ { "id": "xtestx", "type": "button", "enabled": true, "position": {"my": "left top", "at": "right+5% top", "of": "#elapsed"}, "style": {"width": "30%", "height": "2.5em"}, "status_level": 1, "state_field": 1, "state_styles": [ {"background": "red", "content": "A-A-A-A"}, {"background": "green", "content": "B-B-B-B"} ], "value": "TEST", "actions_type": "choose", "actions": [ {"type": "gcode", "gcode": "G4 P100"}, {"type": "gcode", "gcode": "G4 P100"} ] }, /* END of TEST choose-button */
Please can you give me a little support

DueUI can be customized right down to the button sizes so if you have large fingers like me, you can make the controls a bit bigger and increase the spacing between them.

Hmmm. It may be possible, at least for Android. I haven't done any Android app development in a few years but it was fairly easy to take a web app and wrap it in a Webview component so it looked like a native app. This might also solve a nagging issue with having to keep making the browser full-screen to see all the content. Let me think about it. For the Apple platforms, well, sorry but I have no experience there nor can I realistically get any.

Your syntax is correct. I tested this I swear but I must have broken it afterwards. I'll fix it tonight. And I'll re-test it

@gtj0 With alpha4 now it works with the "choose"
Next question: is also possible to change color code of the temperatures if IS > TARGET
I tried
"tolerances": [ {"limit": -999, "style": {"background": "red"}}, {"limit": -5, "style": {"background": "goldenrod"}}, {"limit": -2, "style": {"background": "limegreen"}}, {"limit": 2, "style": {"background": "limegreen"}}, {"limit": 5, "style": {"background": "goldenrod"}}, {"limit": 999, "style": {"background": "red"}} ],
Unfortunately without success ...

I forget but I think you can just do
"tolerances": [ {"limit": 0, "style": {"background": "limegreen"}}, {"limit": 2, "style": {"background": "lightgreen"}}, {"limit": 5, "style": {"background": "yellow"}}, {"limit": 999, "style": {"background": "red"}} ]
I can double check later today.
You may want to use 0.5 as the first limit rather than 0 because the temps are decimal numbers.You can also add the "tolerance_value" parameter for a bit more control...
"tolerance_value": "${(int)Math.floor(status.temps.current[1])}", "tolerances": [ {"limit": 0, "style": {"background": "limegreen"}}, {"limit": 2, "style": {"background": "lightgreen"}}, {"limit": 5, "style": {"background": "yellow"}}, {"limit": 999, "style": {"background": "red"}} ]
This rounds the temperature down to the closest whole number, then convert it to an integer. That's a little more Javascript-y though.
It's on my list to document all the things you can do with "${}" in certain parameters.BTW. Right now the limits are "either over or under by this amount". You can't specify negative numbers to have a different under vs over. I can add that capability if needed though.

Hi,
the background color of the current temp is
-
shown ok if current <active
-
shown not ok if current <active
(sorry, unfortunately I did not manage to show it correctly)
I have a few topics that you can implement, if you think it makes sense
-
make a littel space (3 to 5px) between the X / Y / Z labels at the id: "main_position"
-
show both numbers of the actual temperature for current and active always with 1 decimal place
-
even if standby <0 then show 0
-
show requested + top speed (or give me the right status response or show me a list of them)
Thank you for your previous work!
