Movement buttons/features managed by configuration (UI mod)
-
@chimaeragh , yup, it would just need its own set of value setting buttons... with a tweaking of the config, it can produce the following, would this work for ya?...
-
@deckingman this is a replacement of the movement panel... if the movement panel does those things, then yes?
As most people, just scratching itches; the default movement panel was OK, but an itch to scratch to make it more handy. Not sure needing to dock panels is all that itchy for me
-
@phaedrux ...it's an update to the movement panel, without the config it literally just leaves it to its default behavior (and you can call on the default behavior also in the config).
But of course a plugin would lower the barrier to entry of trying it out I guess, I'll have a look into it.

@thekm Looks good to me

Pity. If you had 10 tools defined and/or 7 axes (as I do), you'd feel differently.
The GUI with such a machine is pretty awful. Oh well...... -
@deckingman ...would you like to sponsor the effort?
The framework DWC uses itself (VueJS and Veutify) doesn't support such things out of the box, but there are window-like JS libraries out there... would take some fanagling, but it's "possible" (everything's possible, just a matter of how much code it takes)
-
@deckingman ...do a search for "BtnCmd DWC Plugin" here on the forums... looks like it might do what you're after, a pretty capable plugin if your screen is fixed.

I'll take a gander at that plug in (might have to blow the dust and cobwebs off my RPi because I run my machine in stand alone mode).
-
Unfortunately, the state pension that I'm supposed to be able to live on won't allow me to sponsor your efforts.

I use something called "home assistant" to run all my home automation stuff (it's another Open Source project). But if you google something like "home assistant lovelace dashboard" you'll see their awesome interface which allows users to create their own dashboards. Even a 68 year old retired mechanical engineer can quickly and easily create some pretty neat dashboard views using that.
Something like that for DWC would be awesome. Or if not, something like my video editing software (Magix Vegas) which at least allows panels to be un-docked, moved around and re-sized would do. DWC is looking decidedly old and clunky IMO and hasn't change all that much since back in the days of Duet 06.

@deckingman the plugin works in standalone mode too

@jay_s_uk Thanks. That's good to know. I'll take a gander at it when I get time.
