WIP : add support for mmu

[Hatles]

WIP

• new mmu_ace.py component to mimic happy hare klipper extra and moonraker component (https://github.com/moggieuk/Happy-Hare)
• temporary replace mainsail with happy hare edition (feat: Implementation of MMU panel to support single-extruder-multi-material printing using the Happy Hare for any MMU/AFC. mainsail-crew/mainsail#2158)

[jbatonnet]

Oh yeah, I recently started looking at Happy Hare to evaluate the effort of adapting it to Rinkhals. Great job it's going to be nice :)

[Hatles]

Done:

• get ace status on moonraker startup (spools colors and materials)
• edit ToolToGate mapping
• start print using ToolToGate mapping to virtually change spools order

TODO:

• listen to ace status changes
• add edit of spools color, material, etc...
• show status of current used filament
• enable 2 ace at same time
• document new gcodes
• find a way to start/stop dryer
• ...

thank you for the effort!

just a note, fluidd has happy-hare support merged and release in 1.34.0

it would be wonderful if you could update fluidd as part of this PR (or a follow-up) when the feature is ready!

@jbatonnet I rebased my work on top of master as develop is missing last fixes for the kobra s1 and last firmware versions.
What's the prefered workflow ? Should we make our pr targeting master or develop ?

Add these maybe
ace_mqtt.md

@Hatles Sorry I was focusing on the last firmware updates in the past few days. I'm slowly preparing the switch from master to develop but it's not ready yet. You can target master for now

[jbatonnet]

And I just pushed Fluidd 1.34.x to master with MMU support

[Hatles]

Done:

• listen to ace status changes
• add edit of spools color, material, etc...
• add AnycubicSlicerNext as suported slicer
• fix fluidd integration

Hello, it's a lovely feature!

Are there plans to continue working on it?

[Toolmaster30]

Hello, are there any plans as to whether and when this support will be extended to the ACE Pro in Rinkhals? Regards, Georg

God, this is amazing! Just one question: would this work to connect a custom MMU to the Kobra 3? It’s a project I’ve been trying to do for a while, but since I can’t install Happy Hare or Kiauh — mainly because it doesn’t work via SSH, or at least I don’t know how to use sudo apt-get — it says the command doesn’t exist due to a crappy Klipper version. Wow, how much it annoys me that the software is closed when it was literally created by the community and RepRap. Anyway, if by any chance you know of some info that could help me, I’d really appreciate it.

are there any plans to merge this anytime soon?

[rickrot97]

I would also like this to be merged

[jayo38]

I don't think it will be added soon since programs like Happy Hare would have to be installed on the printer and it becomes complicated because of disabled functions. What I did in the end was change the board and adapt an M4P.
