run code / trigger relay when heater 0 is active or standby?
-
Is it possible to setup the firmware to enable an output when you enable the heater 0 (off-> active?)
I have an mechanical relay that is in series with my bed heater, but I'm using PS_ON to enable my 24V supply - So is there a way to make one of the GPIO high or low if im changing the state of the heater?
I know that I can write a gcode to change the state of the GPIO, but I would like to avoid having to write that GCODE each time im trying to heat up the bed.
Thanks for the help!

You could set up a monitoring loop in daemon.g to check the heater status perhaps.

That seems like a good way to do it - Do we know what the status variable is called for the bed heater? or is there an overview somewhere where I can find it?

Yes it would be in the object model.

In 3.2 you can load the object model browser plugin to explore the machine state and all of the objects available. That's where you can get the names.

@Phaedrux That is perfect, I will try to use that!
