Next update is when?

I have gone back to Octoprint.  I need camera support.

Am more than happy to beta test, but point upgrades every  6 to 8 months does not keep my attention.

Any hope for a 0.7 in the near future?  I will jump back in as soon as I see it.  I really like the general idea, and want it to be successful.

Along those lines, with the recent addition of wifi capabilities and new firmware for the Mini I was hoping to see the Mini finally supported by Prusaconnect, but no luck. I can't really move half of my printers (mk3s) over but leave the others (minis) on octoprint.

RE: Next update is when?

Sorry, still no camera support. I got stuck for a week on just making a mechanism for dealing with them, then Ondra asked, what if somebody unplugs the camera mid print? And my house of cards started collapsing. I want the 0.7.0 as much as you do, what use does feedback from a half a year old version have? Sorry it's not here yet, we'll have a new internal testing image on monday, I am interested to see if that's the one that will be let loose. Shrug

Dude!

Thanks for the honest reply. I am a huge Prusa fan, and want this particular endeavor to be successful. 

Due to lack of updates, I got bored and moved on. But, when the next update hits, I will be on it 100%. Drink more coffee!

This is dragging on as long as the XL release. New features specifically for the XL are the hold-up otherwise it would be in Development hell for no reason.

RE:

I struggle with an answer to this one. Sorry I'm not more productive?

Yesterday I could not figure out how to change the resolution on a webcam, even after closing the stream, the camera kept telling me it was busy. Eventually I found out, that the library I was using did not close the stream properly and had to fork it and fix it myself. There is a thousand tutorials on how to use OpenCV to do cameras, but that's like buying a new car to watch a movie.

Anyway the feature is like an unfinished house right now, technically, if you bring a sleeping bag and a mattress, you can sleep in it, but there's no running water, toilet or floor.

Dude!  I spent a whole career writing software.  I know your pain.  

Not trying to push at all.  I am 100% fine with octoprint for now.  It is not like I can’t print.

But as soon as your next drop, I will tear into it like a monster.  Don’t rush it.  Steve Jobs taught my generation to not release anything if it wasn’t ready for prime time.  Steve was my hero.

p.s. It was many years ago that I used opencv.  I found it to be scrambled eggs.   I don’t like scrambled eggs. Gave up, and used a very spendy 3rd party product.

RE: Next update is when?

Thank you. I have absolutely no problem with your posts. I was responding to Deneteus that no, I was not making anything XL related, yet still, the thing is taking me time. It's the biggest workaroundiest thing I participated in yet and so I get lost in the "how to write this, so it makes some sense" questions. We need to put something out there, I would really appreciate some up to date feedback, especially for the code.

Thank you for the moral support 🙂

Is any of the PrusaLink code open source yet? I'd love to contribute if possible.

It should be real close, but I am questioning if we're not lying to ourselves at this point.

Hello @tojik - do you have the setting for switching to/from stealth mode on the roadmap? Or does this feature already exist (couldnt find it)?

RE:

The only way to implement it right now would be with a printer reset to complete the switch, guess that would still be worth it to some

There is no way to switch it like on the LCD using gcode - there is this PR from VintagePC however, but that has not been merged for a loong time, so who knows if it ends up being merged https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/pull/2508
