Showing the current coordinates on the startpage

[freddy2312]

I am using Octopod since yesterday and it is an awesome app! The only thing I miss is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to view the current coordinates while printing. Would be a nice feature to implement :-)

Thanks for being awesome and keep up doing epic stuff!

Hi @freddy2312, I'm not aware of Marlin passing X/Y coordinates to OctoPrint so OctoPrint cannot share this information with OctoPod. I guess that coordinates change so fast, if Marlin tried to pass the information to OctoPrint it could potentially bring down any connectivity traffic. Serial port is slow and passing so much traffic might render it unsuable. Anyway, that is just my guess of why it is not implemented. If Marlin and OctoPrint devs expose this information some day, I'm more than happy to expose it in OctoPod.

Thanks for the good vibe! Gaston
