BtnCmd-DWC Plugin - Customise DWC - v01.03.08 01-03-25

[cosmowave]

Is there a way to change object model values (like retraction length) direct in a panel?

[MintyTrebor]

@cosmowave global variables can be set with an input panel.
For changing values that are normally set through gcode commands, its best to use a global variable to hold the value, and then use the variable in a macro.
EG:
Have an input panel to set the variable value (in your case retraction length)
Have a button to run a macro that sets retraction length using the global variable

Hello, first of all, excellent plugin! I have a question. configure the plugin as I want, but when sending to print, it automatically goes to the default status screen of the webcontrol. Is it possible to stay in the custom tabs? I hope it has been understood.

[MintyTrebor]

@falco22 If you are referring to the Job list Panel - then it will be using standard DWC behaviour to switch views on job start.

No, I mean, when I print a file, it goes directly to the status panel in dwc, and I would like it to stay in the Btncmd panel

[cosmowave]

@falco22 I think, you don't understand correctly what @MintyTrebor means...
He means, that the job panel in DWC, where you start the job, is not under his control.
After starting a job it is standard for DWC to jump to status screen. MintyTrebor can only change the BtnCmd plugin.

What ist the right MQTT Message and MQTT Topic for switching my shelly switch?

Or can i find a tutorial for creating this button in BtnCmd?

[MintyTrebor]

@CrazyCreator I do not own a shelly switch so I cannot advise.
BtnCmd Wiki is available for reference.
Have you tried using a http post/get button using the commands you identified yourself in your post: https://forum.duet3d.com/post/300999?

Hi @MintyTrebor

I looked at this earlier on in my CNC career(!) but have just started to 'play' with it to set up my own screens.

I've stumbled on a couple of minor issues, which are probably of my own making, but how would you like me to ask you about them? On this forum or via PM?

Thank you

[MintyTrebor]

@Nightowl Here is fine

[jay_s_uk]

@Nightowl we also have a BtnCmd support channel on the Teamgloomy discord if you're into that type of thing https://discord.gg/uS97Qs7

[Nightowl]

OK thanks, @MintyTrebor

It's probably me, but when I try to design my own page, it looks like this, in design mode:

....but like this, when I Save and Exit:

Weeble (does it have to be all caps?) reverts to Layout 1 and the Machine Movement window moves back to the LH upper corner.

PS Sorry for the delay in responding. It seems I'm not receiving notifications from this thread (but I am subscribed!)

[Nightowl]

Thanks, @jay_s_uk, I'll check it out.

I think it is

The red text indicates you are creating a custom panel, not a page/tab layout. A custom panel is a way for you to design your own panel that can be used in multiple page/tab layouts.

When in edit mode there are two options
Create & Edit custom panels (red)
Create & Edit Layouts (Green)

This is all covered in the wiki

If you enter Create & Edit Layouts mode (green) you can rename the tab and place the movement panel wherever you like. You should also find if you select add custom panel there will probably be one called "WEEBLE" which will the the custom panel you have created.

Ha! Told you!

I'll get on it tomorrow - I'm frazzled at the moment (with other stuff!)

I own multiple shelly switches, I recommend them. I use one to remotely turn on / off my printer.
Use http get i.e. just "request" the url's you already identified. Post is not needed.
