@Danal
I monitor the monitor!
Yeah, I kinda figured. Makes a little display worthwhile. Or at least some LEDs.
First, I have a lot of RPis just laying around. And as I would like to use Python (to make me learn it)... Saying that, I have also wanted to be alerted via text/email when a print has an issue/pauses, or completes. If I use a RPi, I could have it search for many different word combinations and send me actual alerts too. This leads into future projects of building my own smart own. If I do it that way, it would actually be the start of a larger project, and done with a larger project in mind and built using IOT standards. And not just a one off to complete a single project.
Understood. With respect, I will note that ESP8266 and ESP32 are the current "darlings" of IOT, and can be programmed in Python, and send email, and, and, and... ok, I'll quite now (not really).
Thanks @Danal! and yes, I am curious about your code, but wouldn't be able to review it this week.
No prob. Maybe this will motivate me to put it on Github and write up the project on my blog. Which I've been neglecting. Of course, the Duet monitor sits in a 3D Printed case. Gotta put the STLs out there too... It has an 18650 battery. So you can haul it around with you. (Another advantage of the ESP series; you sick of hearing that yet? 🙂 )
