M115 for printer detection #30

Closed companje closed 8 years ago

companje commented 8 years ago

Currently M105 (get temperature) is used to detect successful communication with a printer. Would it be possible and more useful to use M115 for this. This gives a lot more info like printer name/type etc.

For example:

Craftbot:

SENDING:M115
ok PROTOCOL_VERSION:0.1 FIRMWARE_VERSION:1.1.7477 FIRMWARE_NAME:pr3Dator MACHINE_TYPE:CraftBot EXTRUDER_COUNT:1

Ultimaker2 (or 2go)

[FIRMWARE_NAME:Marlin Ultimaker2; Sprinter/grbl mashup for gen6 FIRMWARE_URL:http://github.com/Ultimaker PROTOCOL_VERSION:1.0 MACHINE_TYPE:Ultimaker EXTRUDER_COUNT:1]

Seems my prusa i3 sends back 

https://www.sunhokey.com Machine:Prusa I3
ok

So not much info is given. (Also the ok comes after the response)

This would be useful to automatically adjust machine settings like heated bed support, bed size etc right? But seeing that, for example the Ultimaker 2 Go doesn't mention it being the 2 go version of a Ultimaker 2 I'm unsure this will be useful. Only being able to detect some properties would complicate things, user would still have to adjust settings for things like bed size.
