Why move the filament on the raspberry? In the end it's not a pause command which is sent by the motherboard? #49

Hello,

Is it possible to have information on the Raspberry, with this plugin, but also on the MKS TFT35 screen.

Currently on my Ender3 I have a simple sensor, but I just suffered a blockage of the filament due to a bad unwinding. so i am interested in this btt sensor. On my Ender 3 I have an SKR Mini E3, with the original screen. The filament sensor is on the SKR Mini E3 motherboard, and when I have a fault, which I print from the Raspberry or from the screen, I have the instruction that goes back to the screen to change and restart printing. What about this sensor? If you plug it into the raspberry, is there any feedback on the screen? Is it possible to leave the connection of this sensor in the same place as the simple sensor, on the motherboard (by modifying the marlin code, but that in the end it sends the same pause command)?

Then for my other printer. I have a Hypercube, for the moment in MKS, but too much of a problem with Makerbase, so I will switch to BTT with the SKR 1.4 turbo and the TFT35 V3 hybrid screen. If it works the way I want it to with the Endre3, ie works when I am with the Raspberry or with the original screen (Marlin). Will the MKS screen's marlin simulation mode have the same functionality? and does the classic TFT mode of this screen also have this possibility?

Thank you anyway for the work on this plugin.
