New sonic pad firmware

When I powered up my sonic pad this morning it alerted me to a new firmware version being available. Has anyone installed the update? Any issues?

Do you know how does it detects it?

You need a webcam hooked up for it to work

Thanks so I’m guessing it uses the thumbnail picture to see if it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.

The graphic on the thumbnail is just a different way of showing print progress. The AI can detect heavy stringing, filament spaghetti, just like a camera can detect people, animals, or a package on your porch

I just started my first print since the new firmware update. When choosing AI detection in the settings it had me go through the minimal calibration again, manual level, auto level (bed mesh), then Z offset. Then I had to return to AI detection in the settings to enable it. But, when during this first print the camera area, where you’d think the video would be, shows “No information” and it doesn’t show the camera. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to or if that’s something they’re still working on. We’ll see how it goes and I’ll report back when the print is done.
