Duet Wifi & Octoprint

tkamsker

Hi i like duet wifi web control but for my application an Octoprint plugin has to do some stuff.
So i would like to send the file down to the SD like Bildschirmfoto 2019-10-13 um 12.59.55.png
i even have cura connecting to octoprint and direct print to duet with 4 tools

But if someone can help or knows how to do that it would help my application a lot

in later phase i think of doing some Ajax direct on the duet but not now
thx thomas

I assume you want to upload files via the OctoPrint upload dialog into the SD card on the Duet? Instead of into OctoPrints local storage.

I've never got it working; gave up a year ago. Maybe plugins etc have improved to the point where you can do it now. It's not just the Upload part that is an issue; it's also the remote print triggering and progress following. This works well for Marlin but I've never seen it working with RRF/Duet.

It's never worried me, If I'm OctoPrinting I stream from the Pi, and when I want to Directly print on the Duet (eg important stuff where I want power recovery etc) I use Duet WebControl, which works well too.

Hi
thank you that is exactly with my observation so i will then need to do 2 types of software
. I get octorpint to work with duet wifi if you proficient with G and M codes (as i am) it is possible.
but sometimes you have to reconnect and so on
thank you verry much for you fast answer thx thomas

recently the plugins on octoprint became much more powerful and there are new hooks for file handling so if there is a way to easily upload file to the duet (and I believe there is) then you should be able to easily write a plugin that would "intercept" upload trough G-Code upload interface (what happens when you upload to printer via octoprint) and upload directly to duet. I'm not a python dev so no clue how to do it exactly but here's the documentation for python literate: https://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/plugins/hooks.html#octoprint-printer-sdcardupload

there's an example, you just need to replace the time.sleep(10) with a real code that uploads the file to duet

there is also another way, without making the plugin .. check out this
https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/Setup-OctoPrint-with-Smoothie
here you see how a script is run to copy the files to a mounted sd card, just like the script is doing mount; cp .. ; the same scrip can do curl -F ... to upload to duet
