The v1.2.0

This release integrates all features introduced by official v1.2.0.

OpenRFID (Hero of this release!)

This release brings support for OpenRFID. The OpenRFID was build by @suchmememanyskill to provide a support for AnyCubic, Bambu-Lab, Elegoo, Creality, TigerTag and other filament RFID tags. This has to be enabled via Firmware-Config, under the Filament Detection. Since this is considered highly experimental feature, not all aspects might fully work. Please kindly post your feedback in the #366.

The Bambu-Lab and Creality spools are not enabled by default as they require encryption keys. This project will not share encryption keys that are not publicly available, but I believe you will find the community to help you with what to put where.

Please consider supporting the author of this integration. You can also support past contributors. You will find their links in the HEROES.md.

External RFID readers

Starting with this firmware, the external RFID readers are supported. Example could be @wasikuss project using ESP32-C3 with PN532 reader: https://github.com/wasikuss/snapmaker-u1-remote-rfid-reader/tree/eps32-c3-oled-1.3-pn532.

Removal of basic profile

Since the v1.2.0 do support ethernet and SSH, the basic profile is no longer relevant. As such will not be offered moving forward.

For detailed installation instructions, see the Installation Guide.

Quick steps:

1. Download .bin and put on FAT32 formatted USB device

Troubleshooting
