Timeout option in settings
Last option in Settings is "Timeout". FW 4.0.1. What does it time out, and will I break something if I turn it off?
RE: Timeout option in settings
Yep, very good question…
?

Does anyone at Prusa have any idea what the answer is?! Thank you
RE: Timeout option in settings
Prusa staff very rarely look at this forum, it is a User-to-User forum.
RE: Timeout option in settings
Ok thank, There's got to be someone who knows the answer. I guess if it's on the menu, it's got a use?
RE: Timeout option in settings
How fluent are you in reading c++ source code? A quick grep on the source shows 'timeout' used in a number of contexts.

Prusa firmware development is quite opaque, but this is what I have gleaned.
It appears Prusa are adding features into the Mini screen that are in Mk3, so menu timeout will probably do the same as Mk3 does. AFAIK, the menu timeout feature returns to the home screen after a period of time. It might also be a screen blanking feature.

Yes, precisely, what interested me is that the screen turns itself off after a certain activity. I thought that was it, but it seems that it doesn't, because if I leave the printer on for more than 24 hours, nothing happens. I didn't care if the printer returned to the home screen after a while, but if that's what this menu is for, I wish it would turn off the screen. 😀 thanks !

There is a feature request related to that : https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/660 on the to-do list apparently.
