ESP3D-WEBUI

Important

This repository is a fork of the main project which is at https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D-WEBUI . We maintain this fork for administrative purposes, not as an attempt to supplant the original. Developing and maintaining such software requires a staggering amount of time and effort. If you use this software, we highly recommend donating to the original author so he can continue his efforts.

The version in this branch includes a tablet-optimized alternative UI that is available from the Tablet tab at the top of the page.

What is that ?

A web configuration tool for ESP3D 2.1 Originaly based on great UI from Jarek Szczepanski (imrahil): smoothieware-webui to get a multi firmware support for Repetier, Repetier for Davinci printer, (Marlin)[https://github.com/MarlinFirmware], Marlin Kimbra and of course Smoothieware

Why doing it ?

Original I ported smoothieware-webui to support ESP3D firmware and it was working pretty well and gave :smoothieware-webui-for-ESP3D But this UI has a 2 big limitations:
1 - you need internet access to get all libraries available to download, which may not happen when ESP is in AP mode for configuration if you do not have all js/css in your browser cache, or if you want to use in local environement, in that case not only ESP AP mode is not displaying UI properly but also STA mode - so it make the ESP useless

2 - it rely on server availability and certificat check, I got several certificat failure for unknown reason that made the UI not working

So the solution was to make all resources available - easy no ?

Yes but! ESP webserver is a convenient but it is also a very light webserver, allowing no more than 5 active connections at once and with a pretty limited filesystem space, so even concatenated all resources like bootstrap icon, angular and others libraries do not work as expected and do not fit the available space.

So I came with a full rewrite using pure javascript and resized resources:
1 - a compressed css based on bootstrap
2 - a local limited version of svg based of Glyphicons Halflings to get a small footprint.
3 - a customized version of smoothiecharts is used to display temperatures charts, it is simple and perfectly sized for the current purpose

The result is a monolitic file with a minimal size allowing almost full control of ESP3D board and your 3D printer

Installation

Please use the latest ESP3D firmware and copy the index.html.gz file on root of SPIFFS, in theory ESP3D have a version of web-ui but it may not be the latest one

Building

Run the following commands once:

npm init
git submodule update --init --recursive

Then for each build, run this command:

gulp package --lang en

The output file is index.html.gz in the top level directory.
