Hey Guys,

is it planed to integrate Spoolman in the project? maybe a mask which shows the Spools an a button to change the actual spool?

greetings from Austria Mike

I would like to briefly explain something about the DGUS/DWIN display of the Vypers: Unfortunately, the display does not receive any video signals, so it is impossible to select constantly changing files (such as Spoolman) that are on the Pi. The display has predefined images on which "buttons" can be created and simple data records that come directly from the printer can be displayed. A file selection menu requires a video signal, which cannot be realized with a simple data set. These displays are actually intended for smart home applications where images do not change and simple data records such as temperatures can be called up. Theoretically, a video can also be played if the images are fed to the display individually, but this is very complex and the video cannot be changed. In short, a layout as simple as the one set up here simply takes weeks and months with a Dgus screen because you have to work with images and positions, which is simply incredibly time-consuming. ~@phildebrand19 on YT
