Neopixel progress bar CURA plugin for klipper by Baltojikale

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

In original release of this plugin inserted gcode commands are in "R0-255" style.
Klipper doesnt understand them and requires neopixel commands in "RED=0-1.00" style.
Here is adjusted script for that.
Changes:
color code values from 255 into 1.00
some integers to floats
export format.
For installation and usage refer to original things:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4614904https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4629462
Requirements:
Designated neopixel in Klipper's printer.cfg file should be called as : "Neo_stat_bar"
Generated inserted code example (violet color):
SET_LED LED=Neo_stat_bar INDEX=1 RED=1.00 GREEN=0.00 BLUE=1.00
SET_LED LED=Neo_stat_bar INDEX=2 RED=0.05 GREEN=0.00 BLUE=0.05
Set up in photos is installed on Voron V2.4 printer. There are 2x21 RGB neopixel strips wired in parallel. Strips get power directly from 5V psu (Mean well LRS-50-5) while signal by single line (which is split in to 2, to get parallel control) which comes from control board (BTT SKR 1.4T).
Same psu also pawers Raspberry PI 4 which requires up to 3A.
White led (24v) are powered directly from SKR 1.4T from hot end port/mosfet. Controlled separately from neopixels.
Also as bonus adding my take on adjustable led strip bar.
bar_x_2.stl model should be scaled in slicer length wise to accommodate one needs.
Designed for led strips insulated with rectangular silicone tube.
Hardware:
m3x8 mm bolts (din912 recommended)
m3 nuts (optional)
some type of m3 t-nuts
Models:
safety led clip is optional (safety measure for failure of double sided sticky tape)
in names there is multiplier how many copies of that part should be printed.
Printed in voron standarts: 4 perimeters, 5 tops and bottoms and 40 infill. ( for thin parts likethese it unintentionaly becomes 100%
