[.py communication with .qml for printer status plugin]

Dear Nallath,

 

Thank you do much for this thorough answer. I certainly wasn't expecting this amount of detail.

 

I have been looking into ahoeben's (fileofview) Octoprintplugin, especialy how he accesses the PrintMonitor part.
However, since I'm unfamiliar with the inner workings of Cura, it raised a lot more questions, which is why I reverted to not "reusing" Cura's internal features, but just redrawing GUI elements in the MonitorStage and feeding it with values.

Needless to say, that's apparently not the way to go 🙂
 

 

@nallath, thank you so much again for clarifying this situation! I will a take a more in-depth dive into Cura's code and figure out how

all the componenets work together.

Is there by any chance a graphic/description that details how Cura's set up internally, that I missed?

 

Al the best,

[.py communication with .qml for printer status plugin]

Dear Cura plugin community,

 

I would like to build an addon, with which I can display the printer's status and printbed temp within the "Monitor"-Tab.

So far, I can query my printer via Wifi and get a json-style response via QNetworkRequest. However, since I am unfamiliar with Qt and QML, I am having troubles parsing this data to a Label within MonitorMain.qml

 

So far, I have:

 

MonitorStage.py:

class MonitorStage(CuraStage):

[...]

   def Response(self, reply):
    [...]
    response  = json.loads#Here I get the json from the printer

I'm having a hard time with Qt's signal/slot system, where I'm struggling to parse a value from the response to a QLabel in MonitorMain.qml

 

 

Would any of the more seasoned programmers on this board be able to point me to the right directions?

 

Best regards,

hauschka
