Duet Web Control 1.17 RC
-
Just installed it now. Very good. Like the dark theme especially, don't know if that's new but if it isn't I must have overlooked it before.
I'd second Hergonoway's suggestion to maybe add a text entry field for extrusion/fan etc.. if possible so we can type 102 rather than use a slider. It works fine on windows desktop, but on my 7 inch tablet I use as a touchpanel for one machine its a bit fiddly.
But great work. Thank you

I notice the processor temp has disappeared from the main page. That was a useful thing to have displayed as it gave an indication at least of how hot the duetwifi card was generally. I know we can display it as a dummy tool instead. Is that the intention? to remove it as it can be added if required?
Edit - I see it has been moved to the tools panel under extras. And an option to add it to the temp. graph - nice!

Hi,
I'm baffled.
I am running the 1.19beta9 firmware on my DuetWifi.
I've tried everything I can think to update to DWC 1.17 but I am stuck on version 1.15a.
I removed the SD card, deleted the www folder, created a new www folder and extracted DuetWebControl-1.17 RC6.zip to that folder.
No change.
I copied DuetWebControl-1.17 RC6.zip to DWC.zip and was able to upload from the current DWC. It listed a number of different files being processed.
No change.
So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

@fcwilt, did you restart your browser?
I had the same issue as you until I completely restarted my browser (Chrome).
It is most certainly a caching issue -

Didn't think of that - will have to give it a try.
Thanks.

As suggested by whosrdaddy I needed to restart Chrome and now DWC is reported as 1.17.
Thanks.

How about . order by date on the sd card contet list . so the latest file is on top
-
Will this also be released for Duet 0.6?
Also, can the time bug be fixed when viewing the files on the SD card, I quite often see the minutes truncated in the generated by column, for example -
Slic3r 1.35.5-prusa3d-win64 on 2017-07-12 at 11:5
But the gcode file contains

Do you think that you'll add a plus/minus 1/2/5% or open field option for sliders (extrusion, fan speed, etc) in a near futur ? last time I wanted to add the extrusion to 102% on my smartphone, ended at 150% without being able to catch 100% again
The slider works nicely on my smartphone and I can actually control it with +-1-2% accuracy, which is sufficient for my purposes. If more people request this, I can have a look at that though.
What's the best method to update to the new DWC version ?
Older DWC versions may complain about DuetWebControl*.zip being incompatible with the Duet WiFi. Hence I suggest to rename the ZIP archive to DWC.zip and to upload it once more. That should work.
How about . order by date on the sd card contet list . so the latest file is on top
I have an idea for that. What if we truncate the "Generated by" field and display it next to the filename? Then we would get enough space to display the "Last modified" field in the G-Code files list.
Will this also be released for Duet 0.6?

It should be fully compatible with the Duet 0.6, but I haven't tested it on that board yet. If we go with the last proposal, this bug wouldn't matter any more. I'll ask T3P3 what they think about that.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I have just released DWC 1.17 on my GitHub repository. The latest version includes initial support for HTML5 desktop notifications (aka push messages) too.

Small question:
I have uploaded 1.17 to the printer (upgrading from 1.17RC6) and now the printer asks to reload the page.
I can't remember seeing this dialog when I upgraded from 1.16, is this also new? -
Just updated to 1.17. Saw something labelled "Filaments". Didn't know what it did so I clicked on it and got a message to the effect that filament was empty or there were no filaments or some such. Saw a button labelled create new filament so I clicked on that and was asked to give it a name. Typed PLA in the box, hit return and got the following Java script error.
A JavaScript Error has occurred so the web interface has closed the connection to your board. It is recommended to reload the web interface now. If this happens again, please contact the author and share this message:

What now?

Update.
I managed to get back to the situation where I can at least connect again. To cut a long story short, I ended up deleting the folder "Filaments" which had appeared in the sd card. Deleting the file "PLA" that I tried to create didn't work - I had to delete the entire folder, even when it was empty. So now at least I can connect. If I click on the "Filaments" section, there is just a blank page "Failed to retrieve filaments but as I have no idea what this new "Filaments" feature is, or what it's supposed to do, I'll leave well alone.

Deckingman, thanks for posting your fix. I ran into the same problem after I defined a couple filaments and then it started disconnecting all the time.

No worries. Do you know what defining filaments is actually supposed to do or be used for?

I tried it recently - too recently to know if it has issues.
But it does a couple of nice things. It allows you to associate a filament with a tool and, if desired, specify filament load/unload G-code.
On the web interface you can assign a filament to the tool and the name of the filament shows on the web page under the tool.
If there is defined G-code for loading that filament it executes.
And when the filament is unassigned from the tool if the is defined G-code for unloading that filament it executes.

Ah OK. That could be useful. How did you go about setting it up? I didn't get beyond pressing the "create new filament" button and giving it a name before it threw a wobbly.

"Wobbly" - that's awful - I think - what's a "wobbly"?
I was getting ready to test a new install of a Diamond 3.
I created a filament for each color I was going to use naming each according to actual filament color: RED, YELLOW, BLUE.
Then I assigned each newly created filament to each tool.
During testing it was nice to be sure I was selecting the correct tool since the color of the filament was displayed.

Thanks for your report, I've just fixed this problem in v1.17+1 - see https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/blob/master/DuetWebControl-1.17%2B1.zip.
The web interface had a problem with filament directories that did not have a valid "last modified" attribute, but it should be fixed now.Using the new Filaments feature you can automate your filament load+unload process and set the required temperatures, fan values etc. in the load+unload macros. They can be edited by right-clicking on the items of the Filaments page.

Nice, cant wait to finish building my wifes new craft studio so i can get back to the printer and try it out.
Any chance the upload button got fixed to filter out stl files?
