@MMRIZE Thank you.

I want to make it OS independant too, but that will be a bit harder I think. I don’t have that much time either. But will work on it in the foreseeable future.

@BKeyport I will probably take a thing or two, but I think the code can be written a bit better by todays standards. The project is almost 6 years old and was probably refactored a few times. No offense towards @MMRIZE - thats probably one reason he does not want to develop it further without rewriting it.

@lxne Ah bummer I didn’t know about it. Thats mostly what I had envisioned.

Hello,

I wanted something to display my current system stats to monitor my magic mirror hardware.

There is a module called MMM-SystemStats, but it seemed buggy and was seemingly not maintained anymore. So I decided to make my own.

Feel free to discuss, ask questions or add suggestions for further development.

Best regards

@sdetweil I added a fallback thumbnail

@sdetweil Thanks for the heads up, just added it.

@sdetweil Thank you for testing :) I fixed up the documentation to include a position.

As for the missing thumbnails, did you install the plugin like I mentioned in the readme file? The plugins site also describes how to add thumbnails in your slicer software.

You should only enable the showThumbnail flag once you have thumbnails working. Otherwise it can lead to unexpected behaviour, like you’re experiencing.

The same for the layer progress. It can only be properly shown when the plugin and slicer are properly configured.

I added some remarks about those flags in the readme file.

Hello!

This is my second plugin. This module was sort of requested by @sdetweil and I thought it would be a great idea, since octoprint has a larger user base.

Just like the moonraker module I developed a module to display data from the Octoprint API.

It has some minor differences when setting up, but it should look the same once everything is setup properly.

You can find the repository, installation guide and config options on my github: https://github.com/btastic/MMM-octoprint

Feel free to discuss, ask questions or add suggestions for further development.

@sdetweil Thanks for the suggestion. I think there is no right or wrong approach to this, but rather what people like or were taught when they were beginning their programming careers or started learning to code as part of their hobbies.

Funnily enough I first had it coded all in one place, but I felt it got messier the more code I added. So I personally decided against this approach to have the “frontend” (MMM-moonraker.js) separated from the “backend” (node_helper.js), as it is (imo) good practice to keep the concerns of those separated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns)

I hope you understand.

@sdetweil Thank you. I just had a look at their API, and it shouldn’t be too hard to create a similar plugin. I will have a look at it :)
