Want to win a PanelDue and a Smoothieboard ? Read up :slight_smile:

( Please reshare with your circles in case this’d be interresting to someone you know ).

It’s pretty simple : PanelDue is very nice, it’s a touchscreen that controls your printer, but it doesn’t know how to talk to Smoothieboard.

We need to add support in Smoothieboard for the M408 Gcode ( http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#Duet-dc42_extension ), which is only supported on the Duet at the moment.

I actually started writing this code ( I’m at the point where they can talk to each other, but don’t say much ) : https://github.com/Smoothieware/Smoothie2/blob/master/src/modules/tools/reporter/Reporter.cpp

All you need to do, is just complete this work, so that it gives a full answer instead of only reporting temperature like it does now.

If you do this, you win a PanelDue, and a Smoothieboard. If you are already a known Smoothie contributor, but do not own a paneldue, I’ll even send it in advance so you can work.

Cheers, and please reshare :slight_smile:

Is there anyway to emulate this if we don’t have hardware? I’ve written some code (it’s a little embarrassing as I haven’t written C++ since college) but I love to know if it “works”.

Oh and where do code discussions happen? Here? The smoothie forum?
