Tab in gcode bug?

Rob_T_SW · May 29, 2017, 5:25pm

I’m taking a standard text file containing gcode and sending it from a PC to the gcode using the USB interface. The files work perfectly fine, but if the line starts with a tab, the execution halts.

It’s not a really big deal since I can edit out the tabs, but just wanted to see if anyone else has run in it.

I don’t think we’ve ever done anything to support tabs, so I wouldn’t expect it to work.

My code that sends the commands just replaces the tab with empty space. It was an easy work around but took me a few minutes to figure out why the smoothie was just hanging in the middle of a job.
