M73(Print progress) amd M117 (Message) support for Octoprint

[Ranney1]

Would be great if we can find a way to make the LCD switch to the 'print' screen while printing with Octoprint.
Most important functions would be M73 support (print progress) and M117 (display message)
If possible, Filament runout support for Octoprint would be great.

I'm currently re-engineering the UI on top of ExtUI. That should pretty much automatically cause this to work as expected.

Reading again, it are three things you're asking:

1. Go to the "print screen" when printing through a host
2. Support M73 (print progress)
3. Support M117 (custom messages)

Dear Sebazzz,

Thank you! That is exactly where I was looking for! Thank you again for the really good firmware and all your time!

[Ranney1]

Please note that the LCD is not closing the ABL screen when it is finished with leveling. So I think that the 'print screen' must be triggered after ABL.

Maybe that this code is also nice to implement?
M355 - Case Light Control
To turn on/off the led on the hotend by gcode/remote?

[Ranney1]

Update: LED control is actually possible by GCODE.
M42 P6 S0 ; is led off
M42 P6 S255 ; is led on

Update; already working solution with the M355 - Case Light Control option. See Marlin CR-6 issue list.

M355 implemented on extui, as well as M117.

[Ranney1]

Ahh, really great! Looking forward to the moment that it is also working when printing with octoprint!
Thanks again for your great work!

[Sebazzz]

M73 is now implemented in extui branch

Ready for next release.
