Easier switching between DSF and Standalone mode?

Thinking more about this, it's be really nice to have the Duet's DS card available while in DSF mode to maybe cache a print file instead of getting it line by line from DSF when the DSF isn't adding any value.
Except DSF actually processes quite a few of the gcodes. Non move.

@Danal Yeah but it doesn't do anything special with them. At least not at the current time. I always wondered why the DSF just didn't preprocess a print file and ship the file to RRF to print but that's a subject for another decade.

SPIs works in slave mode
would have been a neat trick to use the same interface and just switch the SBC to emulate a SD card, but Pi's can't do that unless you get another award?

M23 HemeraToolPlateToolBoardHoles.gcode M24The duet can't do that, the file would be not found. Preprocess and ship... well, then what about M20 (list), and rename and delete and so forth.
So move EVERYTHING back to the Duet. Except, run the web server on the Pi, but not the controlserver (or, probably better phrasing, the control server become a very thin interface.) Right or Wrong, this is not the path that Dave and Chris chose.

I'm not suggesting the current path is Right or Wrong. I was just wondering. There certainly could be benefits to having the DCS send gcode line by line. We're just not at that point yet. Like I said "...that's a subject for another decade." Given that "stay at home" has forced me to have 2 double-decker BLT sandwiches with extra mayo this week, I probably won't live that long.

Good news! Thanks!

If that doesn't work already (have you tried it with the latest RRF and DCS?) then I'm sure it would be possible to make it work.

Dang, man, I need to visit, lockdown or no.
