This is a big release, with a lot of new things for you!
Progressive release: if the update is still not available yet for you, please be patient, it will come very soon for everybody. Please do not ask me for the APK by email, Google Play is the only distribution vector 🙂
1/ The major changes
There are 3 majors changes / new features in this version.
- The temperature graphic has been totally reworked (now MPAndroidChart replaces the AndroidPlot library). You now have a better display of the plot, and you are able to zoom vertically & horizontally on the temperature lines 😉
- The baby stepping has been integrated and is available on the dashboard while you are printing (using the same axis control buttons). You need to activate the baby stepping feature in the app’s settings first (tab “controls”) by selecting your printer’s firmware.
- Printoid now supports the SSL/TLS certificate pinning if you use the HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP. From your OctoPrint profile’s configuration in the app, you are now able to select your own certificate. Please note that 1/ the certificate will not be synchronized with your Printoid account and 2/ you need to allow the READ_EXTERNAL storage permission.
2/ The medium changes
I have worked on a lot of other things for this release.
- Printoid now properly handles the connection management between OctoPrint and your printer(s). The baudrate parameter has been removed from the OctoPrint profile (since its is more relevant to the printer you connect rather than OctoPrint itself). The “connect printer” then handles this parameter. Printoid displays the profile name and the port your printer uses in the left menu. And finally, I’ve also added a “fack acknowledgment” button in the “connect printer” screen if ever you have connection issues.
- The “end time” value now displays the day offset (such as D+1, D+2…) if ever your print does not end today.
- Your profiles pictures are now synchronized between your devices using your Printoid account.
- A spool icon is now displayed on the dashboard, at the right of the cost value, if ever RollingUp is installed on your device too
- For those who experiment issues with plugins (such as Octolapse or Enclosure plugin marked as “not available” by the app, or nothing shown in the terminal) then I’ve added the possibility to specify your OctoPrint web interface account credentials in your OctoPrint profile configuration (these are the credentials you use to connect within your web interface, and they will be used to authenticate you over the web socket – which is required since OctoPrint v1.3.10)
3/ The interface changes / reworks
I’m currently reworking a lot of screens in order to have a better user experience in the app.
- The sliders value is now shown at the left of the sliders themselves when you are adjusting a tool command.
- The screensaver has now a better layout, more modern.
- The OctoPrint profiles screen now show tips above each parameters for a better understanding of how it is used/handled by the app
- The Timelapses screen now displays only the list of timelapses. You need to click on the “gear” icon at the top to show the timelapse configuration.
- Some texts in the dashboard were cut (such as time information, temperature values, etc). This has been fixed and now, the texts adapt their own size according to the available size on your screen.
- The “more printer tools” page has been reworked, and can be shown from any screen by using the new entry in the left menu called “Printer tools”
