Two Proposed Enhancements

Is 3% too large of a range for high temp printing? If I'm printing polycarbonate at 310c that's almost 10 degrees variance.
A percentage based scale will vary with printing temp creating a non linear scale. I think most heaters in a PID loop are probably going to be pretty tight throughout the range of temps, so perhaps absolute degrees would be better?
My temps are usually within 3c, anything more than that would be notable. So maybe an absolute range of <2c for green, and maybe 2-5c for yellow, >6c for red?
Ideally people would be able to configure their own ranges, but that's not likely trivial to implement.
I'm all about at-a-glance information, so having some responsive colour coding would be nice. Great work by the way!

@qdeathstar Thanks!
@Phaedrux Yeah I was thinking more about. I'm going to change it to <= 2C for green <=5 for yellow and >5 for red.
I'll post a binary for the 5i/7i shortly. I can build the others but I can't test them and I don't want anybody's panel getting messed up. I'll leave those for @dc42's release.

Here's an unofficial bin file for the 5i/7i.

I'd test it on a 7" v2 panel due if you provided the build.

Hi @gtj0,
Installed it on my 4.3 PanelDue and it looks very promising.
I've not done prints so far, but already changed some temperatures.Hopefully your change is part of the next version.
-
@gtj0 Great work! I do not (yet) own a PanelDue but I also support the idea of having colors represent specific states.
Also I am a very big fan of dark themes, so again.You mentioned PanelDue 5i. Where can I get the integrated version with 5"? I know I heard of this once but I cannot find it anymore.

@mloidl Thanks for testing
@wilriker Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm not sure where the 5i can be obtained from, sorry.

I just pushed a pull request up to @dc42 for the multiple macro columns. Here's a pic of how it looks...
There can now be 2 columns of 4, 1 column of 4 or none at all depending on the number of tools.
David, there are now 6 commits in that pull request.
-
Just FYI... I pushed another commit up to @dc42 to fix some issues in the width and columns calculations. The the maximum number of columns is now 4 and I added a setup button so you can select between auto calculating the number of columns and setting them explicitly to 0 - 4.
@dc42 : Any idea when you'll be able to look at that pull request? It now has 7 commits in it.

Hard to say, because I am working to tight deadlines for the TCT show.
