PanelDue and WorkBee Controler
-
Hi dc42,
I would like to add a 5” PanelDue to my workbee system.
Do you know if there any plans to incorporate the WorkBee Control to the PanelDue 5"
(for stand alone mode)?
Or is there a procedure to add, and to customize buttons using github PanelDue SW?If so any timelines available yet? / Details on how this could be done?
I think it would be a great feature for anyone using the Duet 2 and Workbee Control SW.
Thanks in advance for any comments. -

WorkBee Control
If I understand correctly WorkBee Control is an extension or alternative to Duet Web Control? Its non-trivial to make changes to the PanelDue code if the code itself is not enough documentation. And if my understand is correct it would be far less effort to move to a Duet3 and run WorkBee Control on a touch screen connected to a Raspberry Pi (or wait for Raspberry Pi support to come to the Duet2 range in due time)

I do have a Workbee with a PanelDue attached to it. You don't have to do anything special about it. However I wish the PanelDue would have a CNC mode, since all the environment is 3D Printer oriented.

What would be the differences in CNC mode? Obviously you wouldn't need the extrusion facility or the temperatures; but what would you want in their place?

well, on a cnc mode I don't need to monitor temperatures, for example. So this little screen space could be saved. I would like to see a nice jogging interface to move the tool (something similar to that on pronterface), build-in macros to change WCS... it is not much but it would be a world of a difference. Now, everytime I have to jog the tool I have to go to a sub-menu and the buttons are not very intuitive. I have to think about it a little bit more, because I haven't used the CNC for a couple of weeks now and it is not on the top of my stack...
