    Please add an option in PanelDue to periodically beep while in Pause mode. This is to attract the user's attention when the print paused at a certain layer to change filament color or to insert a magnet or a weight in a cavity in the printed object.

    I use the Prusa Slic3r color change option which inserts the pause command automatically in the generated gcode.

      You can partially have this right now.

      When M600 is encountered Duet will run /sys/ filament-change.g. Place M300 and G4 commands in that file, and you will have (non-repeating) beeps from the PanelDue.

        Thanks @danal, I will give it a try.

        I also plan to add, as a work around, a buzzer to the Duet Monitor, this way it can play a periodic note and blink the large LED while the duet is in pause mode.

          This is how it looks with the Duet arduino monitor. LED blicks and a small speaker beeps periodically while in the Pause mode. Much better 'pause at layer x' experience.

            @zapta Is that shave and a haircut tune from the Duet speaker?

              @phaedrux, I copied the melody from this programming example https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ToneMelody . This the relevant code:

              // notes in the melody:
              int melody[] = {
              NOTE_C4, NOTE_G3, NOTE_G3, NOTE_A3, NOTE_G3, 0, NOTE_B3, NOTE_C4
              };
              // note durations: 4 = quarter note, 8 = eighth note, etc.:
              int noteDurations[] = {
              4, 8, 8, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4
              };
