Just wandering if it's possible to get Octopi (I think that's the correct term) to make any sounds when touching a button on the Pi's monitor. I assume it would involve adding speakers to the Pi.
At first I wanted to turn off the clicking noises on my Sonicpad but quickly found they were helpful in determining if I actually clicked the button and the software received the command. Sometimes I think I clicked the button but get no response, if I don't hear the click sound I know it's me.
With my Octoprint, sometimes I click a button and don't get any response for 20 to 30 seconds. My guess is Octoprint has to wake up and reconnect with the printer. Having a clicking noise would let me know if I did click correctly and stop me from sending commands twice.
I'm not sure about a display plugin. I have UI Customizer but I believe that is only for the web interface. I'm talking about the touch screen connected to the Raspberry Pi. Is there a plug in I could be using?
I just wanted to know how you use OctoPrint on your pi.
So if I understand it correctly, you use the raspbian desktop image and use a webbrowser?
In theory every command is send immediately, so I assume your browser is lagging because the pi is overloaded (they don't have a lot of compute power compared to a PC). A webcam feed can cause this for example. If you use one, I would disable the webcam and check if it makes a difference on your pi.
But that's off topic and not what you asked for.
Since you use ui customizer, you could ask the Dev to add a clicking sound feature. Another option would be a browser plugin. Something like that one PopupSound – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US) - but I'm not sure if it works with buttons in the web ui.
Sorry, I always have a hard time making myself clear when I'm not sure of technical terms.
I have a Raspberry Pi connected to my CR10 with a USB cable. The Raspberry Pi has a touch screen connected with USB and HDMI. If I remember correctly Octopi is the OS on the Raspberry Pi.
I'm wondering if there are any options or pug ins I'm not seeing to turn on button clicks while using the Raspberry Pi's touch screen., not using the web interface.
The lag time I mentioned happens only after several hour of inactivity, so I think something is having to wake up and reconnect. But once it does respond it runs fine, no more lag while using it.
Anyway, I just want to know if there is audio options built in or in a plugin. This would be a convenience, I'm not asking to solve a problem so no need to spend a lot of time looking into it.
Thanks
