3 printers, 4 Pi's, 3 Moonraker instances, One Mainsail client + webcams | Mainsail | Page 1

I have 3 printers each with their own pi and webcam, each pi on each printer has klipper and moonraker installed. I have an additional pi with a 7" official raspberry pi display, that has klipper, moonraker, mainsail, and klipperscreen installed. I would like to use the pi with the display as a portable controller for all three printers and be able to switch between printers with klipperscreen. I thought using RemoteMode looked right, but I can't find where to set remoteMode=true as the docs.mainsail.xyz/remotemode link seems to be broken. Webcams don't seem to work even though crowsnest finds two of them.

Mainsail settings have nothing Todo with klipperscreen. We don't give klipperscreen support... Pls read #klipper-screen

I have klipperscreen working, its more of the mainsail and the three moonraker instances. But cool thanks.

@lofty venture did I misunderstand your question above? There you write you will switch between the printers with klipperscreen?

Klipperscreen is installed on the pi that has Mainsail installed. But I was trying to figure out if the remote mode was the proper way to set up the three printers that have moonraker instances but no mainsail installed. I was looking for more information on the remote mode but the link seems to be broken. I can't get the webcams for each printer up and running when I use Mainsail in my browser.

#

So you don't want to setup multiple instances in klipperscreen?

lofty venture Jul 8, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

I'm not even looking for klipperscreen support.

#

Why do you wrote "to be able to switch between printers with klipperscreen"?

#

https://docs.mainsail.xyz/overview/quicktips/config.json

config.json

There are several different modes of how Mainsail should react when a new session is opened. These settings can be done in the config.json file in your Mainsail root directory.

I'm sorry if that was a red herring or something, but I was aware that Mainsail won't provide klipperscreen support. I didn't think it would hurt to mention it in the support post about setting up a single mainsail capable pi with three printers that only have moonraker installed.

Here are all information to use multiple instances in mainsail

lofty venture I'm sorry if that was a red herring or something, but I was aware that Mainsail ...

No. I'm only read you need "only" support for klipperscreen. That was my issue with your question

#

And I thought you mixed up mainsail remoteMode with Klipperscreen

lofty venture Jul 8, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

That also says "you have to switch the remoteMode as before to true" but I can't find anything that ever mentions it because the docs.mainsail.xyz/remotemode link doesn't seem to work

#

I get page not found

sweet furnace Jul 8, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

Look at my link above and where do you read the link?

lofty venture Jul 8, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

In the image that says "You can find more details at https://docsmainsail.xyz/remotemode

#

And none of the code blocks on that page say remotemode anywhere, so I'm unsure where you would set it true

#

sweet furnace Jul 8, 2023, 10:20 AM

#

Just ignore this old image. All other informations are up-to-date on this page.

lofty venture And none of the code blocks on that page say remotemode anywhere, so I'm unsure ...

Just read the text above of this image, or maybe you want to use the other option below the image

lofty venture Jul 8, 2023, 10:22 AM

#

The "Remote Mode with fixed printers" has a blurb that says "With this mode, you have to switch the remoteMode to true", is that also outdated info?

sweet furnace Jul 8, 2023, 10:23 AM

#

True should be JSON, as you can read in the example below

lofty venture Jul 8, 2023, 10:25 AM

#

Okay so the "remoteMode" options are "instancesDB" or "browser", and the part that would be "true" would be "moonraker" or "json"?

sweet furnace Jul 8, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

instanceDB has 3 options:

moonraker (default)
broswer (like my.mainsail.xyz)
json (then you have to add all settings in this file)

#

remoteMode was the old option
