Firmware proposal

Snapmaker 2.0

1.) A screensaver for the control panel, as long as the prints run partially burns the standard image. A screensaver button or option would be advantageous.

2.) A function to change the tool, a button or function to move the axes and the tool head to the center (or freely selectable) of the Z and Y axis. To do this every time by hand is a bit cumbersome.

3.) An always visible light button for the housing light. If e.g. an error occurs e.g. filament empty or similar is no possibility to call the housing menu to turn on the light.
An always visible button that is always displayed above the screen would be great.

4.) Make the housing light intensity adjustable via a slider.

5.) Make the housing fan speed adjustable with a slider.

Some good suggenstions.
Points 4 and 5 may not be possible without an hardware change.

File these with the github repository. Nobody from Snapmaker actually reads the forums anymore.

Try running M2001 S0 and M2001 S1. It’s not so much standby but more turning the screen off and on again, but it should stop it from interfering with your Pi.

Then I totaly not understand why they have no option for that in the front end.

The values ​​are different, it was mentioned in THIS post.

Also @Ronin will use P values> 100 to change RGB colors in its DIY controller.
But the idea of ​​sliders on the LCD is very cool. :+1:

You linked the github repository yourself. https://github.com/Snapmaker/Snapmaker2-Controller/issues and click on “New Issue”. You’ll need a github account.

Nice, adding these to my octoprint start and stop gcode code. Will prevent some involuntarily actions I’ve had in the past by naively using the touch screen

Make the fan blade speed dependant on the temperature of the enclosure.

instead of 3 in gcode, add a physical switch to turn on/off lights or fan. A hardware hack.
