Extruder position and temperature values


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · Extruder position and temperature values

Well.... briefly:

Assuming that you're talking about a printer with Marlin firmware:

  • establish a serial connection to the printer with the correct baudrate
  • send gcode M105 resp. M114
  • parse the response

What's your intention? Have you tried it already?

    Thanks a lot for replying. Appreciate it.

    My intention is to record the temperature profile while printing. I know about OctoPrint which shows temperature profiles in a web browser. But I want to record that data as well. So, I was looking into how I can "talk" to the printer. What do you recommend for that ? I mean what is good way to talk to the printer through serial ? a terminal program ?

    It depends... :)

    I'm not aware of a "ready to use" tool, that fits your needs.

    Perhaps pronterface would be a good starting point for your work. It has a graphical user interface, but a terminal window as well. Perhaps you can use the terminal window to test the approach and the "pronsole" part (and some additional scripting) for automation and recording.

    It's open source - so at least you should be able to get some suggestions how to connect to the printer and send/receive commands. How are your programming skills?

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
