nanoDLP

As an example, the following formula:

( 
(([[LayerNumber]] <= 4) * 1 + 40 )
+
(( [[LayerNumber]] <= 91) * 1 + 3)
+
(([[LayerNumber]] <= 406) * 1 + 1.85)
+
(([[LayerNumber]] <= 423)* 1 + 1.6)
+
(([[LayerNumber]] <= 486) * 1 + 1.2)
+
(([[LayerNumber]] <= 494) * 1 + 1.8)
+
(([[LayerNumber]] <= 999) * 1 + 2.2)
)

Yields a cure time of 58.65 for the first 4 layers for some reason.

Well, I was trying for just 40.

The notation is a little confusing. It would be easier to work with with some kind of calculation tool, hence the request. Is it doable?

Just updated to 1362. I'm assuming there's been no addition for this?

I was thinking of a literal separate page. Just a stand alone page like a "formula sandbox" that would help you develop formulas. Don't link it to anything, just have it spit out the results of the math operations given user input. One box for formula input, and several boxes to supply test values for variables. One box to display the output.

I know it sounds silly, but I promise it would be insanely useful.

Love the new tool. I was hoping it would actually *solve* the formula and spit out whatever value NanoDLP is actually going to calculate though, rather than simply substitute the given variable.

The idea is that you can step through a formula and find any issues and fix them before attempting to use it. Sort of a guess-and-check kind of deal.

Would be possible to add a resource to verify the math error in the formula page? like a button that verify like a dry run to see whats returning, printing?
I would like to not start printing until theres no printing error and explorate maths possibilities befere fire it.

due to the fact when you have resin on tank you start print and it could fail at some level, than you have to remove the resin, filter...

its a straight delicate for me, becouse im research materials and i formulate small quantities like 1g 2g samples, so this math tool should be my companion in lab

I see on trello board that is aimed to prevent print failure, i consider to place some attention inside (F)ormula window

A lot of people that would be using nanodlp in future may have lacks in  math and it would become time consuming to  concatenate when you re working with nano as a research development tool.

yes for shure, i think its a great ideia inside a preview page, we always need to open a separate tab to define the strategy layers , its clever to integrate it inside preview page.

group layers would be trickier too, as we have burn-in and normal layers we also would have add-sectors incremently added on demand just as plates.

Scipy library could handle diferential equations with the avaliable  [[variables]] as inputs?

Same printing logic will convert every configurations to commands but instead of sending those to hardware, they will displayed on preview layer.
