how to work output command

[whitedavil]

Good morning at all.

Thanks for your plug-in, it work very nice, but I have a small question:

How to work the output command?

I try to add button "get position" with regex and template sintax, add an output command but not work. How to combine the request "get position" button to "output window"?

thanks for all and sorry for my bad english.

There is a bug in the plugin. According to the docs, in the config.yml file that this plugin generates, the following content

regex: X:(.*?) Y:(.*?) Z:(.*?)
template: X={0}, Y={1}, Z={2}

should look like this:

regex: "X:(.*?) Y:(.*?) Z:(.*?)"
template: "X={0}, Y={1}, Z={2}"

(add quotes around the values).

If @Salandora is willing to merge my PR, I'm volunteering to try and fix this issue

Interesting, never had a problem with the missing quotes. Also they shouldn't make a difference I think. Also @whitedavil can you show what you did like screenshots? Also have you restarted the octoprint server after adding the commands?

If the quotes aren't the problem, then I don't know what the problem is 😞 . I just noticed there is a difference, and I can't actually test if the quotes are the fix, because after I restart the OctoPi server, the changes that I do manually to that file are reverted.

I have a problem with output as well. Octoprint 1.4.2, plugin version 0.2.2. I'd like to make a very simple command: just get flow rate from printer (M221 output). So here it is definition: It results in following entry in config.yaml:

controls:
-   children:
    -   command: M221
        confirm: null
        default: Click button to get value.
        name: Show flowrate
        regex: '(.*)(Flow: )(.+)'
        template: 'Captured groups: {1} - {2} - {3}'
    layout: vertical
    name: Custom

Output of M221 is (following octoprint terminal):

Send: M221
Recv: echo:E0 Flow: 120%
Recv: ok

My regex has been tested and seems working well:

But there is no result of clicking my "Show flowrate" button :/ How can I debug it, is it possible at all?

Just for future reference: the plugin seems to use single quotes where it should use no quotes at all. Editing that part in config.yaml did the trick for me.

controls:

• children:
  • command: M114; confirm: null default: 'Position: ' name: Get Position regex: X:([-+]?[0-9.]+) Y:([-+]?[0-9.]+) Z:([-+]?[0-9.]+) E:([-+]?[0-9.]+) template: Position X={0}, Y={1}, Z={2}, E={3} collapsed: false layout: horizontal name: Get Position
