Possible conflict with ADXL345 #153

Describe your problem

First of all, thank you for this excellent Octo plugin. I have ordered an ADXL345 to use with Klipper's auto resonance calculation.

https://www.klipper3d.org/Measuring_Resonances.html

Unfortunately this uses the Pi's GPIO 08-11. Iirc, you use GPIO10 because of it's SPI capabilities so I'm guessing it's not as simple as selecting another pin. I don't think I'll need the ADXL345 often, maybe once or twice per year, so how do you suggest I use this? Remove your plugin while doing the resonance calculation? Disable Octo while doing the calculations? Switch to WLED for driving the LEDs?

Thank you again.

Well you can't use both things on the same pin at the same time! Disabling the plugin (& restarting OctoPrint) would be enough to free up the resources, or even just changing the pin number in the LED settings to a different one - it won't work, but it won't try and use pin 10.

Of course switching to WLED is an option as well, but that's up to you - different features & requires the ESP board and setting up WLED as well.

Hope that helps, apologies for the delayed reply I've been away for a week 🙂
