v2.1.0
Tiger Touch 2.1 shows the time and says each print's state in colour. It asks before it stops a print. It also lets Tiger Studio Manager see your screen live and take screenshots of it.
Added
- LAN mode (Settings > LAN mode): Tiger Studio Manager, on the same Wi-Fi, can show your screen live, touch it, and take a screenshot of it for a bug report or a post. It is protected by an access code shown on the screen and saved to your TigerTag account. You can draw a new code with one touch, or switch live view off.
- The time, in the middle of the top line of every screen.
- Demo mode (Settings > Demo mode), for a shop, a fair or screenshots: the screen shows ten made-up printers of every brand, printing, exactly as it shows real ones. While it is on, none of your printers is contacted.
- Settings > Battery: say whether a battery is fitted. It is on by default, since the Panda Touch and the K-Touch ship with one.
Changed
- A print's colour now tells its state: blue while it prints, orange when paused, green when finished, red on a fault.
- Stop now asks for a confirmation before it ends a print, instead of a 1.5-second hold.
- Every screen has the same header, so nothing moves when you go from one screen to another.
- Settings shows your account's name instead of its e-mail address.
- The installer page is clearer on a computer, a tablet and a phone, and offers a light or dark theme.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue where the title of an AMS HT ran over the edge of its card on a printer's full view.
Technical changelog
Added
- Settings > LAN mode, as on TigerScale V3: Tiger Studio Manager, on the
same Wi-Fi, takes the screen's picture (for an issue or a post), shows it
live and sends touches and swipes. Every request carries a six-character
access code (capitals and digits) drawn on the device, kept across updates,
renewable with one touch, and written to the account with the presence
(lan_live,lan_access_code,lan_url) where Studio reads it. Ten wrong
codes lock it for a minute; switched off, nothing is served. Live view is on
by default. No web page (docs/LAN-MODE.md,docs/TELEMETRY.md). - The time on the home screen: hours and minutes, local time, in the middle
of its top line; "--:--" until the clock is set. - Settings > Demo mode, for a showroom, a fair or screenshots: the screen
shows ten made-up printers of every brand, printing - progress that moves,
temperatures that wobble, prints that finish and start again, filament colours
drawn from Tiger Studio's palette anew at each start - and looks exactly as
it does with real printers. Off by default, kept until switched off (the
switch restarts the screen). While it is on, none of the account's printers
is reached, nothing is sent to any machine, the owner's choices are not
overwritten, and the account is tolddemo: truewith no printer. - Settings > Battery, a page of its own as on TigerSpool: a Built-in
battery switch, on by default since the Panda Touch and the K-Touch ship with
one inside, the battery drawn (lit when declared), and why the charge cannot be
read: the owner's declaration is
written to the account asbattery_present, as TigerSpool does. The charge
and whether it charges staynull: this board gives the firmware no way to
read them. - A call to join on the installer page, for people who are not installing
today: "You dreamed of it. The TigerSquad built it." and a Join us now
button to tigersystem.io, in the eleven languages.
Changed
- The presence document moves to
users/{uid}/tigertouchs/{mac}(it was
tigertouches); the account's rules name the new collection only, so a 2.0.0
screen's heartbeat is refused until it updates. - Every picture of the screen, in the README,
docs/OTA.md, the device
drawings and the installer page, taken anew in English in Demo mode, with the
new header, the clock and the progress colours; the README gallery gains the
X1 Carbon with its AMS and the K2 Plus with its CFS. - Settings shows the account's name, not its e-mail, as TigerScale V3 does:
thedisplayNameofusers/{uid}, read with the country the device already
reads, kept across restarts, forgotten when another account signs in. The
e-mail shows only when the account has no name. - One header on every screen: 64 px high, no rule under it, and the back
arrow, the title, the clock, the Wi-Fi and account icons and the buttons all
centred on the same line (HEADER_H,HEADER_MID,ui_kit_on_header()), on
the home screen, the settings and their pages, the sign-in pages and a
printer's full view. Nothing moves from one screen to the next. - A print's colour says its state, the same on the ring, the card and the
list bar: blue while it prints, orange paused, green finished, red on a
fault. The dot beside the name still says the connection. - Stop asks before it acts: a touch opens a confirmation ("Stop this
print? It cannot be resumed."), and only its red Stop sends the command;
Cancel or a touch outside closes it. It replaces the 1.5 s hold. - The clock is also in the Settings header and in a printer's full view,
centred, as on the home screen. - The README shows the screen at work: its top picture turns, in BIGTREETECH's
45-degree drawing, from the start-up screen to the cards, the list and a
printer's full view; the gallery shows printers printing (their progress was
filled in by a bench build, which the caption says). The installer's picture
turns to the cards printing. - The settings row reads Account instead of Change account.
- The installer page uses the width of the screen: on a computer, the
pitch and the install steps beside a large picture of the screen, then
"Before you start" in two columns and the comparison across the page; on a
tablet one wide column with the screen first; on a phone everything stacked.
The printer brands are drawn in the text's colour (white on dark, dark on
light) instead of grey, there and in the README. - The installer page opens on the name: "Tiger Touch" in large type at
the top, the promise under it, on a computer, a tablet or a phone. - The printer brands are shown above the screen, in the README and on the
installer page: one strip with Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, Anycubic,
Snapmaker, FlashForge, Prusa, Klipper and OctoPrint. - The README presents the TigerPOD Mini, the recommended desk reader, with
its picture and its free MakerWorld file, in place of the original TigerPOD. - The TigerPOD Mini's picture is the new one (the blue stand holding a red
spool), at the size of the picture it replaces, 420 x 622, so the table does not
move. - The installer page says where to start and where to go: a "Before you
start" box with the TigerSystem picture (printers are added with Tiger Studio
Manager's desktop app; its web version cannot add them), links to the source on GitHub, the TigerSystem wiki, the
release notes and tigersystem.io, a comparison with the Panda Touch's and the
K-Touch's own firmwares, the donation links, and a light or dark theme to
choose (following the system until one is picked). The picture of the screen
turns from the start-up screen to the printers when the pointer is on it.
Fixed
- The title of an AMS HT ran into the edge of its card on a printer's full
view (seen on an H2C). The small cards of the external spool and of an AMS HT
now centre their title over the dot, in a fixed width, with dots if a word were
ever too long; the boxes keep their title where it was. - Demo mode: the estimated end no longer moves. The time left ran down six
times faster than the clock, so the end jumped back every 20 s and crept
forward in between; it now runs at the progress's pace and the end stays put.
The demo's Ender-3 S1 prints too, instead of sitting idle.
Update: a Tiger Touch on Wi-Fi offers it in Settings > Update.
