da vinci mini printer display

Printer Display for da Vinci Mini w I wanted to see the printer status without running the PC, especially when I have to run long prints. Since there was no mobile app from the manufacturer that provides this function, I used a Raspberry Pi instead. The program is written in Processing and typed quickly together - it's quite rough. It shuts off as soon as the runtime drops below one minute. You can add further functions like filament change or similar, which I did not implement. So you can improve or tinker with the program - feedback would be interesting. A known mistake: the USB switch always selects the device that was last turned on. If you boot the PC up again while the connection to the Raspberry exists, the program will hang because communication is severely interrupted. Error handling has not been installed so far. I'm using a Pi2B and a Wi-Fi stick so I can display information with VNC on other devices.
