DWC + PanelDue Interfacing
-
I am tuning and creating macros/tool assignments. The printer I am setting up will be controlled via the PanelDue/DWC (at times), however, when I was setting up the PanelDue it seems to populate the UI on its own and does not seem modifiable unless you do some config.g magic which I am learning through trial and error. There isn't much indication/labeling as to what buttons are mapped to what heater.
My issue up front was that when using the PanelDue I was trying to heat my chamber up to 50C and when I would set the temperature and tap the button on the screen it would reset back to a 0C setting and not even turn on. Playing around with the other temperature control buttons (which there are 4: 2*hot ends, hot bed and chamber) on the PanelDue UI I stumbled upon an error stating that it was trying to set temperature of an undefined tool2 and at the time I did not have one defined or even an intent to have one. Now that I added T2 using H1, my chamber heater, it created redundancy on my interface which is confusing and annoying.
After creating T2 and mapping my chamber to it, its added a 3rd hotend icon which is not desired. (It won't be clear to others using this printer as to what icon 1,2,3 controls which heater) Do I have any control of how the PanelDue lays out its UI? Any tips on how I can get my DWC and my PanelDue interfaces to be tidy, and understandable to anyone using them?

The PanelDue firmware has some limitations on chamber heater function that is being improved in the recent beta paneldue firmware releases.

For now, you should define the heaters in the order the paneldue is expecting them, bed heater, extruders, and finally the chamber.
Please post your config.g to show how you have your heaters defined.

As I said, you have bed, chamber, tool0, tool1. This is confusing the paneldue.
You'll need to redefine the chamber heater as the last heater. bed=H0, tool0=H1, tool1=H2, chamber=H3
Example:
; Heaters M308 S0 P"temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 0 as thermistor on pin temp0 M950 H0 C"!out0" T0 ; create bed heater output on !out0 and map it to sensor 0 M307 H0 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for the bed heater and set PWM limit M140 H0 ; map heated bed to heater 0 M143 H0 S120 ; set temperature limit for heater 0 to 120C M308 S1 P"1.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 1 as thermistor on pin 1.temp0 M950 H1 C"1.out0" T1 ; create nozzle heater output on 1.out0 and map it to sensor 1 M307 H1 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for heater and set PWM limit M308 S2 P"2.temp0" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 2 as thermistor on pin 2.temp0 M950 H2 C"2.out0" T2 ; create nozzle heater output on 2.out0 and map it to sensor 2 M307 H2 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for heater and set PWM limit M308 S3 P"temp1" Y"thermistor" T100000 B4138 ; configure sensor 3 as thermistor on pin temp1 M950 H3 C"out1" T3 ; create chamber heater output on out1 and map it to sensor 3 M307 H3 B0 S1.00 ; disable bang-bang mode for the chamber heater and set PWM limit M141 H3 ; map chamber to heater 3 -

Right on, this worked and tidied the PanelDue up nicely, however, I am now missing PanelDue control of the chamber temperature. I am assuming I will have to define the chamber as a tool for the UI to have buttons for it?

I think the easiest way to control chamber temps on the paneldue right now would be to create a macro for it in the root of the macro folder so that it shows up on the macro shortcut list on the paneldue.
As I alluded to, there is work currently proceeding to improve the paneldue firmware. 3.2 is currently in testing, so once you're confident that the printer is configured and working well with 3.1.1 you can try testing the 3.2 bundle, or wait for final release.

@Phaedrux Right on man, thank you! Even if we can't accomplish what we're after, its nice to know I won't waste time trying lol. Macro will certainly suffice.

Most likely will upgrade when the time comes for release!
