Quick question. I am in the middle of a 1.29million line job & want to pause it. I can’t find a pause button, so I’m curious if there is the ability to pause mid-job & restart after I get some food?
I’ve seen in GCODE reprap wiki that M226: Gcode Initiated Pause. Can I send that through the console to pause the job & then something else to restart later? Or is there a button I am overlooking?
Thanks
+Peter van der Walt Thanks for that. Is the icon supposed to change? Because mine still says “run gcode” with the > picture.
+Peter van der Walt Hmm… I pressed it & it changed to a pause button, but in the process it queued the job again… Went from 900k in the queue to 2.1million.
edit: Also, it didn’t pause haha.
Smoothie has a suspend and resume command (also M600/M601) it can be configured to do some gcode before and after it suspends. http://smoothieware.org/stopping-smoothie and more detail on configuring suspend… http://smoothieware.org/player
however laswerweb will need to be able to process the // action:pause commands unless you are playing from an sdcard.
those are documented here… http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code#Replies_from_the_RepRap_machine_to_the_host_computer pronterface and octoprint both support the // action:pause and resume
