I'm programming an opc server for a octoprint server. The opc server has to communicate with the octoprint server. One opc method is to issue a slicing process by passing the path of the stl-file over a opc client gui. As I'm a noob in this section I don't know how to define a name and type of the input arguments.
inargs = []
for name, dtype in {"File Path": VariantType.String,
"Output Path": VariantType.String,
"Config File": VariantType.String,
"Auto Upload": VariantType.Boolean}.items():
# inarg = ua.Argument()
# inarg.Name = name
inargs.append(dtype)
outargs = [VariantType.String, VariantType.Boolean]
self.sliceStl: Node = self.processData.add_method(self.addrSpace, "Slice STL", self._sliceStl, inargs, outargs)
@uamethod
def _sliceStl(self, parent, filePath: str="~/Uploads/CalibrationCube.stl",
outputPath: str="~/GCODE/",
configFile: str="~/Slic3r/tevo_config.ini",
autoUpload=True,
select=False,
_print=False):
if not filePath.endswith(".stl"):
raise Exception("Slic3rError: File must have *.stl format!")
command = f"~/Slic3r/slic3r {filePath} " \
f"--load {configFile} -o {outputPath} " \
"--output-filename-format [input_filename_base].gcode"
os.system(command)
if autoUpload:
return self._uploadGcode(filePath.replace(".stl", ".gcode"), select, print)
else:
return True
When the sliceStl() is called in the opc-client gui OPC Client Gui Method Form a form pops up with 4 input fields. But none of them has a name or a type. I want that every input field has a name and a data type.
