My Maestro Menu Files are now on github

Very Nice! I am doing an extensive update to the Crane Series menus at the time. It's really great to see someone else's take on this. I feel like I've been the only person on earth doing this lately.

I've been so incredibly tied up with the launch of the Crane and QuadFusion head that I've been focused entirely on customer issues and improvements. Now that we are off the ground well I will be turning my attention back to active development.

If you're interested, I have created a number of icons for things like the hotend, heatbed, etc. I can provide them here but they will be making their way to the Crane github today. I'll post a few pics also. For now, I am going to check your menu files out.

Cheers!

@streamliner Cheers David, I've set a watch on the Crane github.

@mudcruzr Excellent. I just applied your menu files to one of my test printers and it looks great. Really good use of real estate on the main menu. I wasn't sure about the format of the image file in this case. I actually created the few i'm working with byte-by-byte -- do you have a different conversion method you'd be willing to share?

Thanks,

David

@streamliner LOL! Sorry David, but I do it bit by bit on squared paper, manually convert to hex then into a hex editor to make the image file. Hi-tech or what?

streamliner

You and me both. lol... I went with the Graph Paper -> Binary -> Hex, then wrote it all into a hex editor. I know that somewhere in my head there's a better way to do this, but I can't seem to locate it.

The bmp2c-escher3d application that is used to create PanelDue checks the color depths of the bitmap before proceeding -- in the case of a 1-bit bitmap, it returns a warning stating that this has not yet been implemented. I'm unsure if the source of this application is available, I've only been able to find the executable. This could be a good place to start.

Anybody see my suggestion that the file menu filter out file system meta data files like with a "._" prefix? Or they they get outright deleted.

v1.5 now up on github:

COOLDOWN (turns off bed and nozzle heaters and the parts cooling fan)

If you can't stop your Mac putting those files on the SD card, I suggest you delete them. You can do that on the Display Editor page.

Actually, the "._" files are Windows. The Mac uses ".DS_Store" files for metadata. So likely I inherited these from someplace else? My proposal was to not display them since everyone is so likely to end up with them at some point.

The firmware already suppresses returning filenames that start with '.' and I just tested that it still works. So I am puzzled that you are seeing them. Which firmware version are you using?

mudcruzr

@dc42 Files whose names begin with "." are suppressed in DWC as you have confirmed, but are displayed by the Maestro's menu system "files" command on the 12864 lcd. I have just tested and confirmed this. (Latest firmware, latest DWC etc.)

Yep, that's what I'm sayin bro

Now I understand! I thought you were saying that files beginning with '.' in the /menu folder were showing up in DWC.

I've made a code change to hide filenames beginning with '.' in the 12864 files display. This will be released in the 2.03beta firmware.

mudcruzr

@dc42 Many thanks.

v1.6 is now on github,

https://github.com/mudcruzr/Duet-Maestro-12864-Menu-Files/releases/tag/v1.6

here are the release notes:

As I no longer need a blank line at the bottom of the main page for M117 messages (Now using M291 messages). I was able to use that real estate to give the existing layout some extra elbow room in the vertical direction. If you do have any M117 message strings (e.g. M117 "Print Started" in your slicer's start G code section) you should change them to use M291 (e.g. M291 P"Print Started") if you want them to display on the 12864
Additionally, I was made aware that without a license assigned to this project, technically no-one should use it. I think that the unlicense is the most liberal available and the most appropriate for the intent behind providing these menu files.

enjoy

v1.7 now on Github

https://github.com/mudcruzr/Duet-Maestro-12864-Menu-Files/releases/tag/v1.7

Release notes:

After a recent print went wrong and crashed the BLTouch bending the pin, I realised I had no way of manipulating the probe while I was standing at the printer. I've added the ability to extend, retract, test, and reset the probe from this new menu. It is accessed from the CTRL (Control) menu.

@mudcruzr

Regarding the license. You might consider the WTFPL

mudcruzr

@veti lol, if I'd seen that before I attached the unlicense, I might have.

mudcruzr

I've updated a couple of the 12864 menu files to cope with the changes in 2.03RC1

As usual they are in https://github.com/mudcruzr/Duet-Maestro-12864-Menu-Files

2 Files required updates to cope with the changes in 2.03RC1

The new files are main_for_203RC1 and heat_for_203RC1

Upload the 2 new files, rename the existing heat and main to something like heat_backup and main_backup then rename the 2 new files to heat and main respectively.

Note these files are ONLY for using with 2.03RC1
