FR: endless spool mode

[zztopper]

Is it possible to implement the "endless spool" mode for using with multiple spools of same color filament? So that when one spool is empty then the driver will initiate and process the switching to the next non-empty spool?

Hi @zztopper
I had some idea regarding the inventory management incorporating with ERCF. This is just a proof of concept that include JSON hard coded spool information that ERCF might be able to read. I'll upload the code later.

However the endless spool mode is not implemented at present stage given

• I find it hard to unload the filament when it passes the filment motion sensor. The failure rate is high that the filament will get jammed easily.
• I haven't tried to automatically resume after pause. I may need to look at official ERCF code for this.

However thanks for your recommendation! I'll keep this issue open for future discussion.
