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

[MintyTrebor]

@radiomodell So I am thinking about the idea of a 3rd type of variable input panel - true/false (alongside String/text & Numeric)

I am not sure there is any value in adding other types. I think it works better as a quick simple entry panel for setting control parameters etc. Anything more complex can still be entered via the standard DWC console entry function, or via a macro.

Thoughts?

[radiomodell]

@mintytrebor true/false input panel would make handling easier to control conditional commands in macros.

Check the object model browser and you will see that the first example is shown in quotes, and the second is not. One is a string the other is a number. A number in a string, is still a string, and will not get modified.

I mentioned that (and also DWC - firing a lot of error messages). The number input works perfect for me. Thank you.

Btw. Colour changing is no a must have. Especially if it is too much work.

I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Published Beta 0.10.03 to the repo

Changes:
Fixed small rendering issue with custom panels.
Updated Global Variable Input Panel - You can now choose a type of Boolean (true/false) with a simple toggle switch.
Fixed issue where bottom menu bar overlaid the DWC navigation menu.

I stumbled on this plugin because I searched for a way to change the colours in DWC.

I'm using a Duet3 min5+ with the latest DWC3.3. Fresh install on the SD card. When trying to install this plugin I get this:

So it seems that I can't install the plugin in spite I have DWC 3.3 and the latest system files. I tried to install it from different browsers on a Mac.

Any hint on how to install it?

@stout are you sure you have 3.3.0 installed? can you show a screenshot of the general settings page?

[MintyTrebor]

@stout The last version of BtnCmd that was compatible with 3.3 was Beta_0.9.06.
Did you download that version?

I should also add BtnCmd does not allow you to change colours of standard DWC panels.

I have full control of what I've got .-) I use two different systems, both with latest official releases.Both gives the same result as shown previous.

First I used both systems with black background but it happened more than once that I shut off the wrong system during print, therefore one white and one black. But I don't really like the white backround and would like to change to blue or whatever. Don't find any CCS in /www for it. Is it a .js-file?

[Stout]

@mintytrebor

Yes I did. Downloaded it from GitHub today.

Pity, then the plug in don't change the background colour?

No. It only gives you colour control over the buttons and panels you create yourself. You can also add standard DWC panels, and re-size them, but not change the colour of them

Can you tell me the name of the zip file you uploaded to DWC please.

And if you want to, please try installing this version as a check.

@mintytrebor

I'll give the link a try. Thanks.

Here's a screenshot

[MintyTrebor]

@stout That version in the picture is version 0.10.03, I mentioned earlier you need 0.9.06.

The filenames are BtnCmd_[DWC Ver]_[BtnCmd Ver].zip

[Stout]

@mintytrebor

You asked for the zip file I uploaded and gave you a snapshot of it!

I installed BtnCmd_DWC3.3_Beta.0.9.04.zip without any problem. I then checked the SD, deleted the just installed files and copied 0.10.03 manually. when I started it, I got this:

So I copied over the css files from 0.9.0.4 but let the 0.10.03 on the SD-card and it's starting up again though the old version.

I'll play around with it as I am going to use one more Duet 3 for a CNC with an iPad.

[jay_s_uk]

@stout 0.10.03 isn't supported in 3.3.0. you either have to install the last supported version (0.9.06) or upgrade to 3.4rc1 so you can use 0.10.03

[MintyTrebor]

I have published Beta 0.10.06 for DWC 3.4RC1

Changes:
Fixed rendering issue input panels.
Updates to how BtnCmd works with new DWC features.
Added Auto Backup feature - please see wiki for more info.

@mintytrebor

Hi is there away to take data via i2c or serial to display in a "text Box"? or an option to Poll data/request via serial ?

[MintyTrebor]

@moth4017 The plugin can display data from the Object Model, it does not have access to anything else.

[MintyTrebor]

I have published 0.10.08.

Change Log:
Added Console Panel

Notes:
This will be the last version of the plugin to include the events functionality. I am depreciating this feature as the introduction of 'tab sleeping' by many of the main browsers causes issues for this feature, plus the functionality no longer aligns with the core of BtnCmd.

[mrwulff]

Awesome plugin!

Trying to make a little organized flow and ran into a sizing bug with custom panels.

I made a custom panel with a object model value and resized it. I save the custom panel but it does not save. Looking at the backup json file confirms this, and if I manually edit, it will be displayed properly.

Thanks

[MintyTrebor]

@mrwulff I cannot replicate this behaviour.

I tell a lie - I have just replicated it - let me look into it.
