Review Wizard

[luc-github]

May it is time to review Wizard steps and behavior for 3.0
it was suggested to propose Extruder / bed configuration by @mat2k

Another solution would be to simply open preferences at the end of wizard as currently wizard only change ESP3D settings not WebUI ones but language

Any suggestion is welcome

[mat2k]

What does the "Printer configuration" tab do? I see it empty (is it just me?), but I guess it'd also be a good place to add printer-related settings like number of extruders or power supply shutdown capability, etc

Putting all of that on the wizard would also make sense, since it'd be better if you could set ESP3D up and start using it right away

also, a way to get a checksum of the sdcard file would be nice - my second print didn't finish sending (abt 105 kB out of the 150 kB), but the printer reported successful transfer anyways. This would be more related to ESP3D but there would be necessary ui elements too

Printer Configuration allow to edit printer EEPROM settings in REPETIER and Marlin, config.txt on smoothieware
for Marlin 1.1.9 it edit what command M503 give :

M503
echo:  G21    ; (mm)
echo:  M149 C ; Units in Celsius

echo:Filament settings: Disabled

ok

which give in UI

So yes you have some issue as you may have this feature not enable in your Marlin Configuration.h, check what M503 give you

Checksum of file will be difficult because to save tranfert time I remove all comments, that may explain the size difference - also if it says transfert Ok, it means printer is happy and did not throwed error with what was transfered.

power supply shutdown capability,

where this setting come from ? what ESP3D can do with it ?

I actually realized that the file was incomplete because the printer stopped at abt 2/3rds of the piece (luckily it was not too big). After this I checked and saw the file size difference. I reuploaded the file just to test and this time it's 143 kB in size, which seems OK.

yeah, i think i don't have m503 active for some reason

And PS shutdown is just an example for another option to add, I don't use it but thought it might have already been implemented into ESP3D, it's just the ability to turn the power supply on/off (usually ATX from a PC, but some other supplies have it) via the PS_ON cable by pulling it low by a controller pin. Marlin has a gcode command for that. i'm not asking for it to be implemented but an idea would be to add a button in the webui that sends that gcode command if switchable power supply is specified in the settings

for that you have macro buttons:

[luc-github]

Because all printers/CNCs are differents and Printer FW / CNC FW use different GCODE, wizard cannot cover all possible configurations
Also I know by experience, wizard must be small and as brief as possible, people do not like to read the doc, people do not like to answer too many questions - they just want to use ASAP
That is why current wizard is basic - (may be too much ?) but I do not plan to cover all settings because everything is configurable later with preferences - macro according user needs

[luc-github]

Some steps in wizard:
Condition to be launched : presence or not of preferences.json and/or unknow firmware defined (Marlin_ESP32 and GRBL_ESP32 are already defined so cannot be an unique condition)
Also wizard will be different depending of wifi setup

if ESP is in station mode:

• Langage selection :
  UI will download the available language list from github and download only the selected language
  as described Decrease WebUI size Ideas for 2.X and 3.0 #47
• download and apply a profile from github with settings to be applied to UI like : Printer ABC, Printer XYZ, printer ABC settings will be Marlin / 2 extruder / bed /fan control, etc... this will update automaticaly ESP3D settings and ESP3D-WEBUI settings, so no need to go to settings to setup everything, but of course it can be done later any time
• other TBD

if in AP mode

• langage selection according what is on filesystem
• setup wifi client mode
• if FW target is not set propose to define FW target (mandatory)
• other TBD

[luc-github]

I have added a flag in ESP3D EEPROM for setup - this will allow to not rely on any file presence neither specific settings - etc... flag is readable in [ESP800] and will be updated by ESP401 if necessary

[luc-github]

Basic API for wizard is now ready - time to populate the steps
There is a button in settings in case user want to relaunch it

the setup flag is also modified or not when closing:

Unlike 2.1 you can navigate in steps

the top headers may be differents for mobile view due to display size and will be adjusted soon
