Polling Position of Printer

[Garth_42]

Hello everyone, we are polling the state of one of our printers via a get request of machine/status. When we poll the machine this way we aren't able to tell when the printer is moving or not moving as it reports "idle" regardless of movement. Is there a better way to understand the true position of the machine at a point in time?

@garth_42, DWC shows the current x,y,z coordinates. Have you tried to see how it gets it?

E.g. using the Inspect function of browsers such as Chrome which show you the HTTP requests/responses.

@garth_42 you can test if this is an issue with the timing/formatting of your network request vs what is been reported by making a move and using echo command to report what the printer status is during the move. very simplistically:

sent: echo state.status
received: idle

then

sent: G1 Z25 F2000
sent: echo state.status
received: busy

this is just using the console in DWC
