patrickkuo / panelpi Goto Github PK

Hi,

I’m using your GUI in Raspbian Desktop. Very nice so far :)

one issue: how can I close the GUI without restart the Raspberry?

Thanks very much

• Install SceneBuilder 8.5.0 (do not install newer versions, they're not compatible)

• Open the JAR/FXML Manager (it's in the gear icon menu in the Library panel

• Add the following jars:

  • fontawesomefx-8.9.jar
  • fontawesomefx-fontawesome-4.7.0.jar
  • fontawesomefx-materialdesignfont-1.7.22.jar

Once you do this you should be able to open the controls.fxml view

Right now it is rather difficult to update colors used in the theme because they're hardcoded. In JavaFX you can define colors under .root and reference them elsewhere in the CSS. I recommend having a look at the work in my fork to see how I accomplished that. Granted you probably don't want the dark theme but with all the colors in one place it is easier to change that quickly.

There's a bit of empty space next to the temps, it would be nice to have a temperature graph similar to the web UI.

I have this working in my fork if you want to merge it in, but I also have other changes, such as color theme, that you might not want.

What do I have to do for panelpi to connect? It appears disconnected and I have everything well wired, should I configure something? I appreciate the help. Thank you

Hello,
I did everything like in the instructions. but in step 10 I fail.
I got the message: "Error: Unable to access jarfile panelPi.jar"
My mainproblem is that when I download the file from github I get a Zip-file (I´m using windows and copy the file to the rasperry via remote). So I didn´t have any jar-file even when I Unzip the package from github.
How do I get the jar-file? I´m a little helpless :(

There are some files (usually ones not prepared correctly for RepRap firmware) which the firmware cannot properly detect the filament length. This results in an empty list being sent rather than zero and the code throws an error because of this.

Line 58 of FileView should read cellFormat { text = "${it.firstOrNull()} mm" } or something similar to bypass this issue.

Have you considered adding support for using the HTTP API instead of connecting over serial.
Did a quick peek at the code and the serial API looks identical to the HTTP one.

Would be nice to use it without any cables.
