Request: Sensor Test #6

Closed xrxca closed 3 years ago

xrxca commented 3 years ago

I've been experimenting with this and feel it would be nice to have a sensor test button of some type. I had a break in the cable going to the sensor so nothing was working, a test button would (maybe) have saved me a bit of time. (click Test, Dialog pops up: "Move filament in sensor", then when movement is detected changes to "Movement Detected", or something along those lines.)

Hi, I am already working on this. Till it is finished I am going to provide a python script in my wiki. As soon as I uploaded it, I will paste the link into the comments and update the description in the Plugins Page

I uploaded a script into the repository. In the Wiki you can find a description how you can use this script till the feature is implemented and tested. https://github.com/maocypher/Octoprint-Smart-Filament-Sensor/wiki

Im a little slow but could you elaborate on how to use the tester. I am having trouble getting the tester to work based on the description

3DVERSEjn commented 3 years ago

I actually got it to work, my sensor is showing no signs of movement the wires are good but I might have fried the sensor
