      @JadonM, looks very interesting. Can you provide a little bit more details for the uninitiated? E.g. what hardware are you using, how it's connected to the duet? What runs the firmware from that github repository that you posted, pictures, etc.

      Thanks.

        Maybe a video showing the menu system in action to show off what sets it apart?

            Absolutely! I'm working on more documentation, and I'll finish it as soon as possible.

            No problem! If a few people can benefit, it's all worth it! 🙂

              @zapta I just finished a rather extensive edit to my original post, making it much more beginner-friendly. Thanks for the tip!

              @Phaedrux I also recorded a rather poor video. (Sorry, I'm a programmer, not a Youtuber! 🙂 ) Link here.

              To everyone else, I noted a slight bug in the code for the external SD card, where it'd only show files in a "/gcode" folder. I fixed that and posted the first official release. It's version 1.00, available on the Github releases page.

              Enjoy, and feel free to tell me about any issues, comments, or suggestions you have! Thanks!

                    I attempted to take the best points of various menu systems and combine them into a polished do-it-all menu.

                    Hi Jadon,
                    well done.
                    I'm also user of the ThinkerLife menu and have modified some details.

                    In the main menu (base line) I have added the time remaining estimate.

                    d4c87417-e5c1-4c51-b234-12767edac0d7-grafik.png

                    And in the move section I have added additional columns.
                    Especialy for the z-axis I was tired of excessively turning the rotary encoder.

                    e5bffd32-c61e-4f8f-82cd-79393df8b606-grafik.png

                    Maybe you would like to add something.
                    adaption.zip.g (rename it back to .zip)

                    Hopefully @dc42 will add functionality for images to behave like buttons.
                    That will give some more space for the menu...

                    Regards
                    Frank

                      Thanks JadonM@, it's very clear now. I didn't know about that capability.

                        Wow! I assumed the "uninitiated" was someone else. I guess all your great contributions to the forums here made me consider you an expert! 😃

                        Anyway, thanks for admitting your ignorance. We now know that you're unfortunatly not super-human! 🤣 I'm glad I could help!

                          Thanks for your feedback! I really like the idea of the extra buttons on the move menu, and adding the printing percentage to the bottom while it's printing is also a great idea!

                          I'll have a look at your files, and it should be easy to implement. I'll let you know, and thanks for your interest and suggestions!

                            Far from that, I still have a lot to learn. Meanwhile I am lookup up to real experts such as phaedrux, deckingman, dc42, and others.

                            😉

                              I just got a chance to implement your ideas. Thank you very much!

                              I added the new columns to the move page, and changed the bottom part of the overview page to show the print statistics. It shows the percentage completed, time estimate based on filament usage, and Z height; but only when the printer is printing. When it's not printing it shows the axis positions as they were before.

                              You can get the files here, although I haven't made them an official release yet. You'll have to download the files from the repository, then send them to a zip folder to upload to your printer.

                              Thanks for your ideas!

                                    Duet 3 firmware does not currently support 12864 displays, but does support PanelDue.

                                      Just to confirm, the Mini 5+ now includes both hardware and software support. Correct?

                                      Thanks!

                                          Yes, specifically for the FYSETC mini12864 v2.1. Other displays using the ST7567 controller chip and supporting 3.3V signal levels may work too. Displays using the ST7920 chip usually need 5V signal levels, so they will not work without additional hardware.
