First of all, I think it's huge work that had been done to rewrite software like the Klipper completely in a different language and technology for it to be able to run on cheaper hardware (probably) and to be faster and less prone to the sudden timer errors, for that as a software developer I give my big appreciation and respect.
However, I'm struggling to find a purpose in this repository to be existing in the first place, and let me explain why:
-
"We did a klipper in Go?"—cool, but it is limited in a few aspects. As far as I can tell, Pongo2 v5 is used for jinja syntax in Go, which doesn't support syntax in macro templates like printer["gcode_macro ABC"] in order to use some advanced macro. However, Pongo2 v6 supports that and was released in 2022, two years before the Kobra 3 release. If this is supposed to be a better and faster version of Klipper for anyone to admire (due to compiled code instead of Python), it should include all the features the original Klipper has, f.e. sdcard_loop, already mentioned advanced templating for gcode, and many more. Nevertheless, it seems this particular software was built with only Kobra 3 in mind due to the specific code, so I think even if we wanted that's not an option to use for a wide range of printers.
-
However, if it's meant to be just for the proud geek owners of Kobra 3 Combo to explore and extend, it seems you've stripped the Combo part here since there's no code for handling the filament hub communication and functionality. So if anyone figures out how to fix some things here and there for their custom gklib and also figures out how to install that firmware on their printer (for which you do not provide any steps), they might as well throw out ACE PRO directly through the open window, cause it'll be useless for the multicolor printing for the filament drying and auto-refill.
Warning: use at your own risk. If you install any custom firmware on your printer, it is very possible to damage your printer and you will forfeit your warranty support of some accessories. - you do say in your readme file... so please first provide some info on how to and full code, so it doesn't damage anything.
