GCode Viewer Layer Information

[j-n7]

Hello there,
would it be possible to use the existing layer information from octoprint? Like many others, I have already uploaded a lot of gcode files to octoprint, and I honestly don't want to upload them again. I know octoprint shows the current layer in the gcode viewer, so shouldn't there be a way to use that information instead of modifying the gcode?

Thank you so much for the great plugin! It's really a pleasure to use it, especially now that I can finally use the LCD of my Ender 3 v2 for such information.

Cheers Jani

Hi @JaniDJ,

the DLP-plugin started with OP Version 1.3. and in this version the gcode viewer was a JavaScript based solution, so it only runs in the browser. If you close the browser you can't provide the data to other plugins e.g. mobile-apps.
Also there was/is no "API" for grabing such information, maybe in the future releases of OP there will be an "developer-interface" to collect such informations directly from OP.
That was the reason why I decide to wrote a custom parser on the server side.

Specifically for j-n7 (and others) I have a script to reload all your files for you.
Reload.sh.zip
This is kind of dangerous as you RPi will be quite busy reprocessing all your files 8-)
Read it before using it - I run it from my .octoprint directory.
