WirelessPrinting v2

[cpeuschel]

I love this project, but we have some issues, so can we start a new project (from scratch) with new features? :)

Here some ideas (based on some issues):

• HTTPS support
• Security
  • Enable OTA password (stored in SPIFF?)
  • API auth
• Beautiful Dashboard, maybe esp-dash :) ?
• WirelessPrinting settings site
  • Store password like API auth or OTA password
  • ESP Hostname
  • maybe to store some custom commands like "emergency stop" or "abort print"
• File manager
• Camera support
  • I'm using an external TP-Link Tapo camera, maybe It's possible to integrate the stream? In my opinion, the eps32 with camera is very useless because the quality isn't good
• Test integration like https://github.com/cpeuschel/streamdeck-octodeck or Home Assistant integration and mark as "feature"
• etc.

Maybe some developers are here to help and get the WirelessPrinting on the next level :)

@probonopd: what do you think?

For me WirelessPrinting is pretty much feature complete as it is. Since I only run it inside my trusted network, I don't need any security features.

If I had to do it from scratch, I would probably be looking into using the ESP32-S2 with USB host capabilities, because it is getting increasingly hard to find serial ports on 3D printers. It looks like ESP32S2 is supported by https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32 nowadays, although I don't know the extent of USB host support for various USB-to-serial chips used in 3D printers.

• FTDI FT232xx
• Prolific PL2303
• SiLabs CP210X range
• CH340G / CH341G
• Teensy Microcontrollers
• CDC

If you need more advanced functionality it might be worthwhile to look into implementing something for the Raspberry Pi Zero W in Golang.
