Printing Effects

The core of the plugin, the most used feature to find the status of your printer.

The plugin reacts to several events to display printing effects. For each of these effects, they have similar settings:

Enable Whether the effect will run or not
Effect One of the available effects
Colour The primary colour to run the effect. Note this is ignored in some effects.
Delay The length of time to wait between each frame of the effect.

Some events also have some specific settings, these are detailed alongside them.

Events

Startup
Printer Connected/Idle
Printer Disconnected
Print Success
- This effect has configurable 'Return to idle' time in seconds. Set to 0 to disable returning to idle.
Print Failed
Print Paused
Printing
- This effect will override the print progress effect.

All the standard effects available, with fancy visualisations!

Sets all LEDs to one colour, forever.

Wipes colour across the strip pixel by pixel, then clears it pixel by pixel.

Wipes colour pixel by pixel, as above, but to clear it turns around and heads backwards.

Fades brightness up and down. Looks better in real life than the visualisation below!

Sends a pulse of light bouncing from one side of your strip to the other.

Sends just a single pixel from one side to the other, bouncing about.

Cycles all the LEDs through the rainbow together.

Rainbow that cycles across the strip, so a full rainbow is across the whole strip at once.

Two pixels bouncing in opposite directions, crossing over in the middle.

Sets all LEDs to a random colour, then changes a random pixel, to a new random colour

A physics based effect, simulating 2 balls bouncing up and down. Looks great on longer strips (and shorter ones too...!).

Unfortunately creating the simulation for this effect didn't work, so is unavailable for now. Sorry!
