Hello,
I’m interested in using a smoothieboard to control my stepper motors. I will mainly use G-code to drive them as I wans but occasionally I’d like to be able to send steps commands to the board from a script running on a connected computer.
For example if a certain condition is met, move 150 steps on the x-axis and wait user input.
It that feasible with a smoothieboard or does it accept only g-code instructions? I could not find any data for that kind of use. Or is it possible to hack the jog function to do that? Ideally the step count should be precise (not move-wait-stop shenanigans)
Thanks in advance
