Feature Request: temperature monitoring

[Aylr]

Would be helpful to see temperature of extruder and HBP as quite a bit of time can be spent waiting for bots to heat up.

Thirded! It should be really easy to pull out too.

As far as I can tell, this has 3 parts to it:

1. Make bumblebee get the temperature (Gcode status update? how does printrun/pronterface do it?)
2. Report it to the server (on bot update probably)
3. Have the server render it.

The second two shouldn't be difficult. Unless for 3, we want the server to display it like pronterface does with its target, and where it is now, as it's moving.

its pretty easy to get the temperature... it should report it, or we can
have the driver periodically poll temperature. the rest as you said is
pretty straightforward. :)

M105 will return the bed and extruder temp like this: "ok T:201 B:117"
from http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#M105:_Get_Extruder_Temperature

[Jnesselr]

I know polling that could work, but there's two reasons why I'm wary of
using that command:

1. how will that work for SD prints? As far as I'm aware, you can still
   send Gcode to the printer to get status updates on how far the print has
   gone. Temperature would work the same.
2. bumblebee is currently having a problem for me where it will sometimes
   make the printer pause because it's out of commands to send. Adding in an
   M105 command every little bit doesn't seem like a great idea.

So if someone can confirm my suspicion on #1, then we only really have to
worry about #2. I'm currently debugging it anyway, so it should be fixed
somewhat soon.

1. botqueue should never use SD, so its sort of moot.

2. fix it, lol. do you want temperature polling or not?

Why can't bumblebee print from an SD card? I was going to add that when I
got m mine set up for that.

And I'm currently trying to fix it, but it's difficult to test. Is the bot
update done in the same thread as the one sending the Gcode?

[Aylr]

Is there a way to submit a single (or a few) gcode commands without using a job? This could be used to manually heat up your bots from a browser button.

[hoeken]

Hey Aylr,

Yup this is on the roadmap but hasn't been implemented yet. Will happen
this summer for sure.
