DuetLapse3

This is a significantly modified version of the original DuetLapse created by Danal Estes https://github.com/DanalEstes/DuetLapse

The core ideas are his work.

General Description

DuetLapse3 provides a highly configurable program for creating timelapse videos from printers using the Deut3D software.

It can be run as a one-of or continuously in the background.

It is also available as a plugin for Duet3D SBC

A companion program startDuetLapse3 provides administration capabilities and is especially useful if multiple instances of DuetLapse3 are running and connected to multiple printers.

For most users, startDuetLapse3 will not be used.

In addition to a browser interface DuetLapse3 can be controlled directly from gcode.
