As I am starting to play with twin extruders, I've stepped into some things that could be improved (in an already great package).
Host:
1) Temperature graph with both extruders shown at the same time
2) Possibility to show both extruder settings at the same time (but I am not sure there is enough request for this)
Firmware:
It works! Nothing to say :-)
Best Regards

That would be great.
I started to play with my dual extruder a couple of days ago and think same.

You see all extruder temperatures at the bottom. Just as a start.
Logging all temperatures should be possible with some code changes, but I have to see how to make it good visible. If I draw them on top and they are set to same temperature they would hide each other. But I don't think it is a real problem. WIth the newer Repetier firmware I could even log the output of all extruders. But that would be a bit too much. So the main question is, overlay temperatures or make a new graph for each extruder. That would decrease the visible temperature precision. Or I could put them side by side, which would redice the time visible.
What do you think is the best way to show multiple temperatures?

IMHO, you could put everything related to each extruder to a single graph area, on each graph you have setup, actual readout, power output.
I believe that the Y axis autoscaling is working great, therefore having graph area that are way "lower" than actual could let you fit up to four extruder on one page, keeping the manual commands button untouched.
IMHO, as usual.
