Mainsail Dashboard change in ratos v2

[mint jackal]

I miss being able to see pressure advance settings (like in ratos v1) in the mainsail dashboard how do I get it back in v2?

[lime wolf]

I honestly don't know what you mean.

[mint jackal]

I don't have that top line on my screen.

[lime wolf]

It's not configurable

Can you post a screenshot of what your extruder panel looks like?

[mint jackal]

Perhaps Helge Keck's ROME changed it in some way? That's the only thing I can think of that could effect it.

[lime wolf]

ROME can't change mainsail. Don't you have a pressure_advance setting in your config?

[mint jackal]

Doh! I removed it when I installed ROME because it has to be set for each extruder so I just did it all in the slicer gcode. I'll put a token setting in printer.cfg. Totally forgot I did that thanks for the help.

[mint jackal]

I never got back here to report, but adding the pressure_advance setting to my printer.cfg unfortunately did not bring back the pressure advance display in mainsail.

[lime wolf]

So i just looked through the mainsail code. The only way the pressure advance options wouldn't show is if you don't have any defined extruder steppers. I guess ROME could indeed be responsible for this @bleak fog ?

[bleak fog]

Dort think so

Rome can set pa but thats it

[lime wolf]

I assume he has no [extruder] in his config then

printer.config.settings should have an extruder_stepper entry, or it won't show.

[bleak fog]

He has 2 Additional extruders

[lime wolf]

That's fine

[bleak fog]

Rome just activates and syncs them

[lime wolf]

See: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/mainsail/blob/84814080291e6f037230491c3e273ddd49ed6e53/src/store/printer/getters.ts#L893

[lime wolf]

how are they defined in the config?

[bleak fog]

Extruders

On my phone atm, repo has the includes

[lime wolf]

Oh i missed a !

!(extruderSteppers.length > 0)

So if you have any extruder steppers it won't show 😄

Ie. it does not show with ROME

[lime wolf]

found the problem

🙂

Sorry @mint jackal, that is indeed how it is. Mainsail won't show you the pressure advance panel if you have any [extruder_stepper]s defined.

You'd have to go talk to the mainsail devs on the mainsail server to get that changed

Or not use multiple extruders

[bleak fog]

We can use t0 t1 instead

The Maintal Shows the values from the selected extruder

You get t0 t1 buttons in the extruder section

[lime wolf]

That sounds like a good fix, yes

[bleak fog]

Will test tomorrow

[mint jackal]

Thanks guys much appreciated as always!

[bleak fog]

it works

[mint jackal]

Hi Helge, so how do I set this up so the pressure advance is displayed for my printer? Or is this being done in a future version of ROME?

[mint jackal]

So I don't know how to do what Helge did above. Any help would be appreciated.

[bleak fog]

sorry, i missed this somehow

try this
#multi-material message

[mint jackal]

After I define those macros then mainsail will allow me to see pressure advance for T0 or T1? I think I have to add pressure advance values in for T0 and T1 as well (in printer.cfg) but not sure what the syntax should be.

[bleak fog]

no, set the pa value in the filament gcode in the slicer

[mint jackal]

Ok, thanks

[bleak fog]

u looky here
https://github.com/HelgeKeck/rome#slicer

[mint jackal]

Yes I have that. Was worried mainsail wouldn't show pressure advance in the extruder section unless I had a value set in printer.cfg

[bleak fog]

no, this wasnt the issue

Mainsail jsut didnt know that you have two extruders

[mint jackal]

Running a print now, have defined macros for T0 and T1, changed the change tool code to T[next_extruder] in the slicer, and have pressure advance defined for all extruders in the slicer. T0 and T1 show up in the extruder section of mainsail but no pressure advance is shown. Print is running and working well. Not sure why PA is not showing up.

Here is the terminal confirming pa values received from slicer during print

[bleak fog]

its possible that Rome 2.0 i am working on does this differently

sorry for that
