Duet Maestro users: can you share a set of menu files?
-
@dc42
Is there any more information regarding this. I am putting together a set of menu files for my printer (I promise to share them once there done) but I can't get images to work.I can currently make images that a single pixel high without a problem. eg I have a horizontal line to separate different parts of the display.
Unfortunately when I try to make taller images it displays them with an blank line in between every row.
I have tried making .img files manually in a hex editor, using a python script, using online tools but am yet to have any success. I can display the image but only with the additional empty lines in between.
Is this a known issue?
-
Yes it's a known issue that was fixed in firmware 2.02.

Here's a working set of menu files for a 12864 display on a Maestro.
It has a main info screen where temperatures, flow rate (extrusion factor) and speed are all displayed and adjustable. M117 messages are also displayed.
Further menus are:
MOVE which does homing and allows axes to be moved (after homing only) in the same way as DWC (+-1, +-10 & +-50)
PRINT which allows selection of a gcode file from the SD (sd 0 only) and starts to print
PREHEAT allows E0 and/or bed to be heated ( Predefined temps only - main info screen allows any temp to be set)
When printing the menus are BABYSTEP and PAUSE (self explanitory)
PAUSE then gives the option to RESUME or ABORTThese are based on other peoples work, to whom I render thanks, all I did was sort them out, rearrange some things and put a couple of graphics on screen. I'm sorry not to mention you by name but I can't find the post.
The attached file is a zip with ".txt" appended to allow uploading, please remove the ".txt" and upload the contents to your /menu directory.
Please remember to download and backup any files in your /menu directory first as any with the same name will be overwritten.

Working on it. Will post my basic menu structure when I'm happy with the result (with basic menu icons..., yes)
Would love to see smaller fonts though even F0 is a bit 'big'
Is there a possibillity to have the dial knob working inversed for dialing in 'alter' values?! I like, how it dials the menu, but would prefer to see an inverse dialing in values (alter) Now when turned c.c. values are raising and c.w. deminishing
Just a preview:

Anybody know of a 12864 display board that would fit the Ender 3 mount, which includes a full size SD card slot?
Thanks to the folks working on the menus

@lulu3d Here is my menu, largely based on others work, but with a main menu status screen showing simple icons. Of course you'll have to adapt it to your taste and wishes. The preheat menu uses my preheat macro's, you'll have to create your own.

Enjoy, adapt, make better and share

@dc42 Unfortunately I believe I am running the latest firmware and still have the issue.
The Hex file reads: 05 08 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 Maestro
Firmware Electronics: Duet Maestro 1.0
Firmware Version: 2.02RC6(RTOS) (2018-12-15b2)
Web Interface Version: 1.22.6 -
@jottesman Sorry, but 2.02RC6 isn't the latest version, 2.02a is. See https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases
If you want to try images that definitely work on my 12864, download my menu files from my earlier post and you'll find a few .img files in there.
-
Ahha, gotcha.
I'll try and finish my menu this weekend. Is there a way yet to use an Image as a button?
-
@jottesman I recreated your hex file (05 08 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F 1F) on my system and I get no blank lines. It displays 3 off pixels, 2 on pixels on each row for 8 rows. i.e. a vertical line 2 pixels wide and 8 pixels high offset to the right by three blank pixels.

Above please find v1.1 of my maestro menu files, as before I had to append the .txt to the end of the filename to allow the upload. Remove the .txt and unzip it, then upload the contents to your Display folder (/menu).
The changes are:
COOLDOWN added to the PREHEAT menu page and a poor attempt at the D3D logo on the main/info page.enjoy

Is it possible to have the menu system filter everything with "._" prefix, or the equivalent Mac meta data files? Or better still, to delete them, since they serve no purpose on a printer. Actually anything that starts with a "." could go.

If you could squeeze it in somewhere I would sure like to see the current baby step value on the main page.

@3dmntbighker Ask and Ye shall receive.... (Wow! talk about service)
2 files: A new version of main to replace your current one and a new image baby.img for the B/S (Babystep) graphic. You know the routine by now - delete the .txt, unzip and upload to the /menu directory.
BTW I've made the babysteps field alterable so you can tune Z from the main screen if you want.

Dude
Looking at the main page it looks like you can't get another line in there at the bottom. I'm wondering if you may as well drop everything a bit and make the icons a bit larger? Just giving feedback since you are putting in the effort. Shame to waste that blank bit at the bottom.
-
@3dmntbighker That blank bit at the bottom is where M117 messages display. I may yet do away with it as the only messages I ever see are the ones I have in my slicer start G-code and end G-code: "Print started" and "Print finished" lol

Hmm, actually, that being the case I vote to keep that in place. #thumbsup

I'm a little late to the party but finally sharing a set of menu files for the 12864 type displays.
https://github.com/tinkerlifeprojects/DUET3D_12864LCD_MenuFiles
They design is loosely based on the "TinkerFirmware" for the ultimaker printers. It has two "Main" pages with shortcuts to common functions and then a set of menus for controlling more aspects of the printer.
Any suggestions or requests are welcome
