* Add printer card print flow with drag-drop and reusable LibraryUploadModal
Extract inline upload modal from FileManagerPage into a reusable
LibraryUploadModal component. Add a Print button and drag-drop zone
to printer cards that upload files to the library and open PrintModal
with the printer pre-selected. Only .gcode/.gcode.3mf files are
accepted for printing. PrintModal hides printer selector when a
printer is provided via initialSelectedPrinterIds prop.
* Add printer compatibility check for drag-drop and upload-to-print flows
Validates sliced_for_model from file metadata against the target printer model
before opening the print modal, preventing users from printing with incompatible files.
* Improve FileUploadModal: auto-close on success, inline errors, file validation, and i18n
- Close modal automatically after successful upload instead of showing summary
- Show printer compatibility errors inline in the modal instead of closing
- Add validateFile and accept props to restrict file types for print flow
- Add onFileUploaded error return to prevent modal close on incompatible files
- Internationalize all hardcoded error/warning strings across 6 locales
* Clean up incompatible files from library and fix print button i18n
- Delete uploaded file from library when printer compatibility check fails
in both drag-drop and modal upload flows
- Fix print button tooltip to use existing common.print i18n key
- Fix accept attribute to use .gcode,.3mf for proper browser support
* Add printer information modal accessible from card 3-dot menu
Replace inline IP/serial display at bottom of printer card with a
dedicated "Printer Information" modal opened via the card menu. The
modal shows model, status, state, IP address (copyable), serial number
(copyable), WiFi signal, firmware, developer mode, nozzle count, SD
card, auto-archive, total print hours, location, and added date, along
with the printer image. Includes full i18n support across all 6 locales
and accessibility attributes (role="dialog", aria-modal).
* Extract getPrinterImage and getWifiStrength into shared printer utils

PR #569 introduces drag-drop printing on printer cards with
inline fallback strings for common.uploading, common.uploadFailed,
printers.dropToPrint, and printers.cannotPrint. Add these keys
to all 7 locale files so they render in the correct language.
Write NTAG213/215/216 tags for third-party spools via the SpoolBuddy
kiosk UI. New "Write" page with three workflows: existing spool, new
spool creation, and tag replacement. Backend encodes 133-byte OpenTag3D
NDEF payloads (material, color, brand, weight, temp). Daemon writes
page-by-page via PN5180 NTAG WRITE command with read-back verification.
Write commands flow through heartbeat polling with WebSocket status
updates. Includes 39 new tests and translations for all 6 languages.
- Add printer status badges to dashboard left column (green/gray
online/offline dots, compact wrapping pills, overflow-hidden)
- Remove SpoolBuddy inventory page — inventory management belongs
in the main Bambuddy frontend, not the kiosk
- Remove inventory nav item from bottom nav (now 3 tabs)
- Replace "Add to Inventory" navigate with quick-add modal that
creates a basic PLA spool entry via API, with a hint to use
the main Bambuddy UI for full spool details instead
- Redesign settings page with tabbed layout (Device, Display, Scale, Updates)
- Add screen blank timeout: blanks after touch inactivity, tap to wake
- Add CSS brightness filter for HDMI displays (no sysfs on HDMI)
- Add backend `language` field to app settings for server-side persistence
- Sync UI language from backend on kiosk load (separate Chromium instance)
- Top bar clock respects user's time format setting (system/12h/24h)
- Add SpoolBuddy settings translations for all 6 languages (en/de/fr/ja/it/pt-BR)
- Disable Chromium swipe-to-navigate in kiosk install script
- Add `video` group for DSI backlight access
1. Device tab — repo URL unlinked
Replaced the <a> tag with a <span> so the GitHub URL is displayed as plain text (no clickable link in kiosk mode).
2. Display controls — moved to frontend
Root cause: The daemon runs as a system user without Wayland access, and the kiosk uses an HDMI display (no sysfs backlight). Neither wlopm, vcgencmd, nor sysfs writes
can work in this setup.
Fix — frontend-controlled display in SpoolBuddyLayout.tsx:
- Brightness: CSS filter: brightness(X) applied to the layout root. Immediate visual dimming that works on any display type.
- Screen blanking: Full-screen black overlay (z-[9999]) shown after the configured inactivity timeout. Touch anywhere to wake.
- Activity tracking: Resets on pointerdown/keydown events AND on WebSocket-driven NFC/scale changes (weight update, tag scan).
- Queries device data every 15s to read the current brightness and blank timeout values.
Daemon display_control.py — Simplified:
- Removed vcgencmd/wlopm/subprocess usage entirely
- _blank/_unblank are now state-tracking no-ops (log only)
- DSI backlight brightness via sysfs is preserved as a bonus for DSI displays
- Updated docstring to explain the architecture
3. Scale tab — redesigned with step indicator
Idle state: Same as before — weight card with tare/calibrate buttons.
Calibration wizard: Two-column layout:
- Left column (~64px): Vertical step indicator with numbered circles, checkmark for completed steps, and a connecting line
- Right column: Live weight bar (with stable/settling indicator), step-specific content (instructions or numpad), and action buttons pinned to bottom via mt-auto
The numpad buttons are min-h-[52px] with text-lg — large enough for touch on 1024x600. The weight info card is hidden during the weight entry step to maximize vertical
space.
Root cause: The daemon used wlopm for screen blanking, but wlopm was never installed. Additionally, the daemon runs as the spoolbuddy system user which has no access to
the Wayland socket, so Wayland-based tools can't work.
Fix in display_control.py:
- Replaced wlopm --off/--on with vcgencmd display_power 0/1 — this is a Raspberry Pi firmware-level command that's pre-installed and works without Wayland socket access
- Added shutil.which("vcgencmd") check at init to avoid repeated failures on non-RPi hardware
- Added explicit PermissionError handling for brightness writes with a helpful message about the video group
Fix in install.sh:
- Added video group to the spoolbuddy service user's groups (was: gpio, spi, i2c → now: gpio, spi, i2c, video), which grants access to both vcgencmd and sysfs backlight
files
Scale Tab Numpad
Root cause: On the 1024x600 kiosk screen (~376px available content height), the weight info card + numpad + action buttons exceeded the space, causing tiny buttons and
overlapping.
Fix in SpoolBuddySettingsPage.tsx:
- Hide the weight info card during weight entry step (calStep !== 'weight'), reclaiming ~70px
- Compact inline weight reading in the step header (small dot + monospace text) so users can still see the live scale value
- Larger numpad buttons: min-h-[56px] with text-lg font size (was no min-height, text-sm)
- Added active:scale-95 for tactile touch feedback
- mt-auto on action buttons to push them to the bottom, preventing overlap
- Removed the wrapping card around the calibration flow to save vertical padding
The Raspberry Pi kiosk has no physical keyboard and system-level virtual
keyboards (squeekboard, wvkbd) don't auto-show/hide with labwc/Chromium.
Add a react-simple-keyboard QWERTY keyboard that auto-shows on input
focus, with dark theme, shift/caps/backspace, email keys (@, .), and a
two-phase close that prevents ghost-click passthrough to elements below.
Inputs with data-vkb="false" opt out (e.g. SpoolBuddySettingsPage numpad).
- Show inventory-based fill levels for non-BL spools in AMS slots by
fetching spool assignments and computing fill from weight_used/label_weight,
falling back to AMS remain when no assignment exists
- Fix ext-R slot falsely highlighted as active when idle: tray_now=255
(no tray loaded) matched ext-R's id=255 without a guard
- Improve single-slot card layout: use responsive grid aligned with AMS
card columns, fix vertical stretching with few AMS units
- Remove redundant L/R nozzle badges from ext slots (label already shows
Ext-L/Ext-R)
- Add 16 tests for ext active state logic and fill override fallback
SpoolBuddy's "Link to Spool" used the generic updateSpool API which only
set tag_uid, leaving tag_type and data_origin empty. Now uses linkTagToSpool
with tag_type='generic' and data_origin='nfc_link'.
Added a "Weight Check" inventory column (hidden by default) that compares
each spool's last scale measurement against calculated gross weight with
±50g tolerance. Shows green check for match, yellow warning + sync button
for mismatch. Backend stores last_scale_weight and last_weighed_at on each
spool when weight is synced via SpoolBuddy. Includes edge case handling
when scale weight < core weight. i18n keys added for all 6 locales.
Automates the full beta release workflow: version bump in config.py,
CHANGELOG date update, git commit + tag, multi-arch Docker build+push
to GHCR and Docker Hub, and GitHub prerelease creation with changelog
notes. Supports --parallel, --ghcr-only, --dockerhub-only, and
--skip-release flags. Documents daily beta builds in README and
DOCKERHUB.md.
The printer card only showed progress bar, print name, ETA, layers,
and cover image when gcode_state was RUNNING. A paused print (state
PAUSE) fell through to the idle display, hiding all print context.
Added PAUSE to the display conditions in both compact and expanded
view modes, and replaced the hardcoded "Printing" status label with
getStatusDisplay() so it correctly shows "Paused".
The assign_spool endpoint sent wrong MQTT field values for user presets,
causing the slicer's AMS slot detail card to show all fields empty.
Two bugs: (1) cloud API was called with the raw slicer_filament value
including its version suffix (e.g. PFUS9ac902733670a9_07), returning 404;
the silent fallback sent setting_id as tray_info_idx instead of the real
filament_id; (2) no SlotPresetMapping was saved after assignment.
Now strips version suffixes before cloud lookup, resolves the real
filament_id via cloud API (with local preset and generic fallbacks),
includes brand in tray_sub_brands, and saves slot preset mapping.
- Replace TagDetectedModal with inline SpoolInfoCard/UnknownTagCard
in dashboard right panel (known spools show assign/sync/close,
unknown tags show add-to-inventory/link/close)
- Rewrite AssignToAmsModal as full-screen overlay reusing AmsUnitCard,
with AMS-HT and external slot support, single assignSpool API call
- Remove printer selector from assign modal (uses top bar selection)
- Extract filament_id <-> setting_id conversion to shared utility
(backend/app/utils/filament_ids.py), used by inventory + cloud routes
- Normalize slicer_filament in assign_spool to derive proper
tray_info_idx and setting_id for MQTT (was sending setting_id="")
- Rename SpoolBuddy top bar status label "Online" -> "Backend"
- Remove weightStable guard from sync weight button
The Updates card on the Settings page mixed printer firmware and
Bambuddy software update toggles with no visual distinction. Now
groups them into labeled sections ("Printer Firmware" at top,
"Bambuddy Software" below) with a divider between them.
Sidebar nav items (Archives, Queue, Stats, Profiles, Maintenance,
Projects, Inventory, Files) were visible to all users regardless of
role permissions — only Settings was gated. Now each item is hidden
when the user lacks the corresponding read permission. Printers
remains always visible as the home page.
Also adds missing inventory:read|create|update|delete to the frontend
Permission type (existed in backend but was absent from the frontend
type definition).
Fix camera button permissions & ffmpeg process leak (#550)
Camera button on printer card was clickable without camera:view
permission. ffmpeg processes (~240MB each) accumulated after closing
camera streams because: (1) stop endpoint called terminate() without
wait()/kill(), (2) HTTP disconnect detection only ran between frames
so was blocked when the generator was stuck on stdout read, and
(3) no mechanism caught processes orphaned by generator abandonment
or app restarts.
- Add camera:view permission check + tooltip to camera button
- Fix stop endpoint: terminate() → wait(2s) → kill() → wait()
- Add background disconnect monitor (polls every 2s, kills ffmpeg
directly on disconnect)
- Add periodic /proc scan (every 60s) that SIGKILLs any ffmpeg
with rtsps://bblp: not in an active stream
- Add noCamera i18n key to all 6 locales
- Fix camera API test mocks for async wait() and pid attribute
The H2C dual nozzle variant reports model code O1C2 via MQTT, but only
O1C was recognized. This caused the camera to use the wrong protocol
(chamber image on port 6000 instead of RTSP on port 322), producing a
reconnect loop. Added O1C2 to all model ID maps across 8 files.
The tare and calibrate buttons on the Settings page queued commands
but never executed them due to five broken links:
1. Daemon received tare command but never called scale.tare()
2. No endpoint to persist tare offset back to backend DB
3. Heartbeat never called scale.update_calibration()
4. Heartbeat response with stale values overwrote new tare to zero
5. set-factor used DB tare_offset (stale/zero), producing wrong
calibration factor — empty scale showed ~5000g
Fixed daemon to execute tare, persist result, and propagate
calibration. Calibration step now captures raw ADC at tare time
and sends it with step 2, making factor computation self-contained.
Replaced calibration weight input with compact touch numpad for
the RPi kiosk's 1024x600 touchscreen (no physical keyboard).
The tare and calibrate buttons on the Settings page queued commands
but never executed them due to four broken links:
1. Daemon received tare command via heartbeat but never called
scale.tare() — the ScaleReader was available in shared dict
but unused
2. No API endpoint for the daemon to report the new tare offset
back to the backend DB, so tare results were lost
3. Heartbeat updated config but never called
scale.update_calibration(), so ScaleReader kept initial values
4. The heartbeat response delivering the tare command still had
pre-tare values, immediately overwriting the new offset to zero
Added set-tare endpoint + API client method, and fixed heartbeat
loop to execute tare, persist the result, propagate calibration
changes to the ScaleReader, and skip calibration sync on the
heartbeat cycle that delivers a tare command.
Also replaced the calibration weight input with a touch-friendly
numpad since the RPi kiosk has no physical keyboard.
Frontend: Replace inline SpoolInfoCard/UnknownTagCard with full-screen
TagDetectedModal that auto-opens on NFC tag detection. Known spools show
remaining weight, fill bar, and offer "Assign to AMS" (new sub-modal with
printer selector + AMS slot grid) and "Sync Weight". Unknown tags offer
"Add to Inventory" and "Link to Spool". Modal stays open on tag removal,
won't re-open for dismissed tags, reopens on re-place after removal.
Daemon: Fix PN5180 NFC reader silently stopping tag detection when the
reader drifts into a stuck state. Add auto-recovery (full hardware reset
after 10 consecutive errors), preventive RF cycling every 60s when idle,
and periodic status logging. Heartbeat now reports actual nfc_ok/scale_ok
from reader instances instead of hardcoded True.
The purple queue counter badge in the printer card header used the raw
unfiltered queue item count, so it appeared on ALL printers of the same
model when a job was scheduled for "any [model]" — even printers without
the matching filament color. The PrinterQueueWidget below it (which
shows "Clear Plate & Start") already filtered by filament type + color.
Apply the same filament compatibility filter (type check + color override
check) to the badge count so it only shows on printers that can actually
run the queued jobs.
Enlarge all interactive elements across 9 SpoolBuddy components to meet
44px minimum tap targets on the RPi touchscreen. Increase nav icons
(20→24px), labels (10→12px), bar heights, section headers, printer
buttons, spool visualizations, fill bars, and status indicators.
Compact the dashboard stats bar and remove the printers card. Add
fullScreen prop to ConfigureAmsSlotModal with two-column layout
(filament list left, K-profile + color right) to eliminate scrolling.
When Bambuddy auth is enabled, the SpoolBuddy kiosk gets redirected to
the login page because ProtectedRoute requires a user from GET /auth/me,
which only handled JWT tokens. The kiosk daemon already has an API key
but couldn't use it to satisfy the frontend auth check.
- Backend: /auth/me now accepts API keys (Bearer bb_xxx or X-API-Key)
and returns a synthetic admin UserResponse with all permissions
- Frontend: AuthContext reads ?token= from URL on first load, stores in
localStorage, and strips from URL (prevents history/referrer leakage)
- Install script: kiosk URL now includes ?token=${API_KEY}
- Tests: 3 new integration tests (Bearer API key, X-API-Key header,
invalid key rejection)
The chart X axis used dataMin/dataMax domain, compressing the view to
only the data present. A 6h view with 1.5h of data looked like 1.5h.
Pin the X axis to the full selected time range, pad data edges so the
line extends to both ends, and connect through nulls for a continuous
line.
When a print was queued to "any printer" with a filament color override
(e.g., white PETG), the "Clear Plate & Start Next" button appeared on
printers that had the right type but wrong color. The backend scheduler
already rejected color mismatches, but the frontend only checked filament
types. Now passes loaded type+color pairs from AMS status to the widget
and filters against filament_overrides, mirroring the backend's
_count_override_color_matches() logic.
Long filament profile names were cut off because inline filament ID
codes consumed horizontal space in the dropdown. Remove the codes from
dropdown items (selected code still shown below the input) and widen
the modal from max-w-lg to max-w-xl.
When scheduling a print to "Any {model}", a redundant "Target Model"
dropdown appeared even though the G-code is already sliced for a
specific printer model. Changing it would lead to print failures.
Hide the dropdown when slicedForModel is known — the tab label already
communicates the target. The dropdown still appears as a fallback for
legacy files without model metadata.
The "Clear Plate & Start Next" button appeared on ALL printers of a
model when a job was queued via "Queue to Any X", even printers without
the required filament loaded. Clicking it started a print that fails.
PrinterQueueWidget now filters queue items by filament compatibility —
each item's required_filament_types must all be present in the printer's
loaded filaments (AMS + external spools). If no compatible items exist,
the widget is hidden entirely. Matching is type-only (not color) and
case-insensitive, consistent with the backend scheduler. When filament
data is unavailable, no filtering is applied (graceful degradation).
Virtual printer "print_queue" mode created queue items with no printer
assignment. Now sets target_model from the VP's SSDP model code (e.g.
P1S, X1C) for "Any Printer" scheduling, or uses target_printer_id if
configured.
Settings page auto-save onSuccess overwrote localSettings with the
server response, discarding characters typed during the save request.
Removed the stale state overwrite so in-progress input is preserved.
Filenames containing / \ ? or # (e.g. "Abzweigdose/Verteilerdose 70mm")
broke the slicer protocol handler. BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer url_decode()
the entire protocol URL before downloading, which decoded %2F back to /,
creating extra path segments that returned 404. Sanitize these characters
to _ in slicer download URLs — the filename is cosmetic (backend resolves
files by archive ID).
All backend timestamps used datetime.now() (server local time) or the
deprecated datetime.utcnow(). The frontend's parseUTCDate() assumes
timestamps without timezone indicators are UTC and appends 'Z', so
stored timestamps were off by the timezone offset when the container's
timezone wasn't UTC.
Backend: replaced datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() with
datetime.now(timezone.utc) across 16 files (~80 call sites) for all
database fields and DB comparisons. Cosmetic timestamps (filenames,
user-facing local time formatting) intentionally left as local time.
Frontend: replaced 13 new Date(backendTimestamp) calls with
parseUTCDate() across 8 files to correctly interpret UTC timestamps.
The sidebar hid Settings based on hardcoded role === 'user' instead of
the settings:read permission, and login set user state directly from the
response instead of re-fetching full auth status with permissions.
The "Power off printer when done" checkbox in the print modal and the
auto power off tri-state toggle in the bulk edit modal were accessible
to all users regardless of permissions. Users without printers:control
can now no longer enable auto power off — controls are disabled and
visually dimmed.
Three related fixes in PrintersPage.tsx:
1. External spool (vt_tray) fill level was missing the AMS remain
fallback — only checked Spoolman/inventory, ignoring valid AMS data.
Now uses the same fallback chain as regular and AMS-HT slots.
2. When fill was unknown (null), slot visual showed a full-width gray
bar ("full") while the hover card showed "—" ("empty"). Removed the
misleading gray fallback bar from all three slot types so both views
consistently show "unknown".
3. Fill source priority always preferred AMS remain over Spoolman and
inventory, even when those sources were more accurate (e.g. spools
with usage tracking or migrated from Spoolman). Reversed priority to
Spoolman → Inventory → AMS remain. Fixed fillSource label to reflect
the actual data source (was always 'ams' even when using fallback).
On H2C/H2D dual-nozzle printers, tray_now=254 is sent generically for both
external spools. The direct ID comparison always matched Ext-L (id=254),
never Ext-R (id=255). Now uses active_extruder to disambiguate: extruder
1 (left) → Ext-L, extruder 0 (right) → Ext-R.
Previously the Inventory sidebar item was hidden when Spoolman was
enabled. Now it always shows — when Spoolman is active, /inventory
embeds the Spoolman web UI in the content area via iframe; when
disabled, it renders the internal inventory page as before.
When a printer has pending queue items and is in FINISH/FAILED state
awaiting plate clearing, a yellow dot now appears on the Printers
sidebar icon. Uses useQueries to check statuses of printers with
pending queue items from the existing WebSocket-warmed React Query
cache — no new backend endpoints or additional polling needed.
