Re: Full-fledged LCD touchscreen
Ok, I got the pengpod. I have never been exposed to Linux so this is going to be a challenge. I downloaded your code to a folder. Next, I'll try to figure out how to install python. Then I'll try your process for the share folder. I am anxious to get it going.... It's a cool interface.
Great to hear that! Have you checked the step-by-step buide on the Soliwiki? It's linked a few posts back. Alas, it still misses a couple of details, but otherwise, where's the fun? I think it should be ok, it is quite straightforward.
One thing that concerns me is that you have emphasized setting the build space "somewhere" to specific values for pause to work. I am planning on using this with a Makergear M2. Do I use the 200, 250, ... Of my printer or will the code not work with different values. Not sure if that made sense, but hope you got it. If I can get it going on the M2, I am going to buy one for the large format (850 x 850 x 850) printer I am building.
The exact values need to be set in the Pronterface settings (menu: settings->options) in the build_dimensions field. The values I gave above are for the solidoodle, you should put the values for your printer. The format is the following: the first three values are the size of the build area XxYxZ, so for you it will be 200x250x???. The next three are the position of the bottom-left corner, i.e. at what coordinates you are when the extruder is there. Usually, that's +0+0+0. The last three are the positions of the endstops, that is at what coordinates the extruder goes when you home. The solidoodle has the endstops at Z=0 and on the top-right corner, so that's +159+150+0.
I want to emphasize that with the wrong settings here the printer will still print as normal, the pause will just not work correctly (and the preview might not work).
Good luck!
