Last week I announced plans to release an alternate user interface for the Duet.
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/9169/preview-dueui-an-alternate-web-interface

Well, it's ready for testing!
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI

Please read the README completely before installing DueUI. The "Known Issues" section has some info that explains why I'm not thrilled with some of the widgets yet.

Remember, this is test software and meant to be customized by you. WORK IT OUT! I really want feedback (good, bad or ugly) and let's keep the feedback to this thread for now rather than issues filed on GitHub.

I've already got a punch list...

Need an option to be able to extrude without a tool selected.
Need an option to be able to move without having homed.
It isn't clear what the movement speeds units are (mm/min).
Need option to specify speeds in mm/sec.
The print time seconds aren't being truncated to 0 decimal places.

DueUI Release 1.0.0-alpha2 is now available:
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/tag/1.0.0-alpha2

Punch list 2019-02-24

Code changes:

Added ability for jog controls to ignore endstop and homing status.
Exposed the jog_command string to the config file so it can be
customized.
Fixed issue where print times weren't truncated to integer seconds.
build.sh now appends the version to the zip file name.

Default config changes (All in the Movement tab):

Changed the jog speed dropdowns to display speeds in mm/sec
but still send speeds in mm/min to the jog controls.
Added dropdown to select whether to ignore endstop and/or
homing status.
Added an example jog_command string to the jog_x widget.
Changed the E axis jog command string to use M83 for relative
extrude distances and added a "T0" to automatically select
a tool.
Moved the "Level Bed" button between the "Home All" and
"Probe" buttons.
Reordered the widgets definitions to better match the layout.

Besides that I already created the first pull request I found another issue either with the installation or with the documentation. It says

When DueUI installs, it creates a default configuration file at /sys/dueui_config_default.json [...]

but actually the default configuration file is created inside /www/ where the other files are also installed but currently neither DWC1 nor DWC2 show you the contents of this directory and therefore it cannot be copied/edited. Or has something went wrong with my installation?

P.S.: I started with alpha2

P.P.S.: It's in your ncftp_push.sh where it additionally uploads dueui_config_default.json to /sys/.

That's weird. When I upload with DWC (1.22.6) It places the json files in /sys automatically. What version of DWC are you running?

I uploaded through DWC2.0.0-RC3. Retried in DWC 1.22.6 and that placed it correctly.

OK, let me test with DWC 2.0.0.

Yeah DWC 2.0.0 places all json files in /www but @chrishamm is going to change it back again.

DueUI Release 1.0.0-alpha3 is available

Allow labels to have dynamic values

You can now have "label" widgets track dynamic values.
The default config file's Fan and LED labels now show the
numeric fan and led percentages.
Add capability for "toggle" type buttons.
A new attribute "actions_type" has been added to the widgets.
When set to "state", the action in the "actions" array
corresponding to the current state will be run.
You can now add the "content" attribute to any widget's "state_style"
entries which will actually change the content of the widget
depending on the state.

A good example of using both capabilities is an ATX Power toggle
button where clicking it turns the power on or off depnding on
it's current state. The default config file has a new button for
just that.

If you have multiple actions in a widget and want a dialog to pop
up asking which to run, set "actions_type" to "choose".

If you have multiple actions and set "actions_type" to "all" or
don't specify it at all, all actions will run in sequence.
The settings toggle buttons have been updated to use the new
"actions_type" and this changed the values stored in the settings
cookie. You'll probably be prompted to turn polling on again
the next time you run DueUI.
The browser title is now automatically set to "DueUI" and the
hostname of your Duet.
Don't display GCode replies if blank
Add entry for 'O' status to status_map

Thanks to @wilriker :

Fix order of loading config in /DueUI/

Order of dueui_config.json and dueui_config_default.json in /DueUI/ was switched.
Use document.location.host instead ...hostname

This will also capture a non-standard port if one is used. Hostname does not
contain the port and makes it necessary to enter the port manually.

DueUI Release 1.0.0-alpha4 is available
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/tag/1.0.0-alpha4

Add ability to trigger multiple actions on a state or choice type

You can now specify that multiple actions should occur for
action_types "state" and "choose" by creating a sub-array
as demonstrated in the default config file's ATX Power
button.
There's a new action type "log" which can post a log message
when triggered. See the ATX Power button example.

Fix issue with "actions_type" = "choose"

When action_type is choose and the actions didn't have labels,
the pop-up dialog was trying to calculate the button width
based on the non-existent label, and failing.

DueUI Release 1.0.0-beta1 is now available
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases

This release contains an Android App that makes the DueUI experience a little cleaner when used on a tablet. If you're using a tablet running Android 5.1 (Lollipop) or better, or an Amazon Fire tablet 7th generation or better, try it out. You'll have to set "Allow Apps from Unknown Sources" in Settings, Security before installing. Then you should just be able to browse to the APK file in Releases and click it.

CHANGES:
Update README for the DueUI Android App

Add Refresh button to settings

Added a "Refresh" button to the Settings page to assist users
of the Android app since there's no browser button in that case.

Minor default formatting changes

The current temperatures now always display 1 decimal place.
A 5px margin is now applied to the Main axis position buttons.

Initial version of Android WebView App

@gtj0 Awesome! Thanks very much for your hard work, much appreciated. Will give it a try once I'm home.

gtj0 · 19 Mar 2019, 21:52

Looks like the Print Progress bar is messed up. There'll be a new release shortly to fix that.

DueUI Release 1.0.0-beta3 is now available
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases

Polling updates

Refactored polling to be more friendly to the Duet by not sending requests for multiple response levels in quick succession.
Updated the default intervals to 1000ms for level 1, 0 (disabled) for level 2 and 5000ms for level 3.

Fix Print Progress bar and paths in ncftp_push.sh

The print progress bar was using the wrong method to set the current percentage.
ncftp_push.sh needed to have the source path updated.

Enable localStorage in WebView

The Android app's WebView settings didn't enable localStorage which is now needed to store DueUI settings since we stopped using cookies.

You can test this release before installing it by visiting:
http://dueui.org/test/index.html

NOTE: You do NOT need to reinstall the Android app for new releases unless specifically instructed. The app automatically picks up any changes you make to your DueUI installation.

DueUI 1.0.0-beta4 is available for testing.
https://github.com/gtjoseph/DueUI/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta4
http://dueui.org/

Added a Heightmap Heatmap display

A new widget "heightmap" has been added that grabs /sys/heightmap.csv
from the Duet and creates a simple 2D heat map and statistics.
dueui_config_default.json was updated with a new "HeightMap" page
inserted between Movement and Console.

I'm somewhat embarassed by the implementation but it does work
and it doesn't require any new third-party libraries.

Fixed issue where GCode responses weren't being shown

GCode responses for long running commands (like bed levelling)
are now being displayed correctly.
The "get_reply" parameter of the "gcode" action is now ignored
since all gcode replies are automatically displayed.

Here's a sample of the HeightMap:

So if we choose the option of having the software on the DueUI website, it will automagically be updated as changes are pushed out?!

Thanks for your work on this, as a chronic early adopter I look forward to taking a run at it!
