[Spoolman] Scan QR code from Mainsail Spoolman snippet #1756

Closed ramaxa9 closed 6 months ago

ramaxa9 commented 8 months ago

Requested feature:

it would be very usefull to have this feature and even better, to execute custom g-code when spool is selected, for example to pre-heat extruder and load filament, and maybe pass spool id to g-code for future ideas

Solves the following problem:

No response

Additional information:

i think its not a part of the web interface to scan a qr-code..

and the next thing is, that mainsail is only a client. so executing automatic gcode would be the wrong place in mainsail.

for example: if you don't have the web interface running and select a spool on your klipperscreen display, mainsail is not running and cannot execute any gcode. so i think this feature should be better located in the moonraker spoolman component, or in spoolman itself (but then, its not printer specific).

ok i can buy 2d barcode scanner, but there is no serch results when i enter spool id in the search field. Maybe an field to enter spool id?

meteyou commented 8 months ago

ohh ok. this should be possible. if not, its more or less a bug in mainsail

Just install mobileraker on your phone. It has spoolman integration now and can scan the qr codes and select them "for mainsail"

Forgive me for asking a n00b question here, but this is still just in the development branch, right?

I very much prefer Mainsail over Fluid, but the latter does have a button clear and present to get it to scan. Would love to have the same in mainsail, and to have it show up in klipperscreen, so I could just tap that whenever I decide to change a spool.

@JekleFPV No, this is already published, but this is only a function to search for the QR code in the search input field—nothing more. So, if you use a barcode scanner, you can use this.

If you want a button in Klipperscreen or on your printer, this has to be implemented somewhere else. As I described above, Mainsail is just a web interface, and "scanning a webcam image" is not a good solution, so I will not implement the same function as Fluidd for this.
