[FR] Get current mesh from printer #407

Closed hawkeyexp closed 3 years ago

hawkeyexp commented 3 years ago

Hi, is it possible to add an option to get current mesh from printer which was possible triggered to create manually or via another control unit like octodash?

I know G29 S0 will report curent mesh - for me it would make sense to catch curent mesh if plugin is opened or an aditional button to request current mesh from printer.

Would be nice.

You can use M420 V in some cases, but the trick is that you have to precede it with the @BEDLEVELVISUALIZER flag or by preceding the command that reports a mesh using the command M118 E1 BEDLEVELVISUALIZER to basically tell the plugin to start recording what the printer is saying.

oh, and your printer has to support the sending of echo commands from the printer, that's what the M118 E1 BEDLEVELVISUALIZER command does.

That's clear how it works :-) But it would be nice for example to have two buttons with custom g-code (one for auto leveling with recording the mesh) and one to only request the current mesh or an auto loading of current mesh while opening the tab in gui :-)

This is possible too with custom controls. You set the default one for the update mesh button to use the command for reporting the mesh only and then add a custom button in the plugin's settings for running the mesh process completely and then reporting.
