Infinite loop?

K01571N3N

@jay_s_uk in config.g is M98 P"VariableReset.g" and all variables are resetted to something i want in that VariableReset.g. LEDMode is "OFF" and for example, in tool change macro have set global.LEDMod = "ToolChange", when printing LEDMode = "Printing" etc

jay_s_uk

@k01571n3n can I suggest something like this?

; WorkLight (Bed static white, Frame static white, ToolHead static white)
if {global.LEDMode == "WorkLight" && global.LEDModeLast != "WorkLight"}	; Enter loop
   M150 R255 U255 B255 S18 P255 F1		; LED Bed = White
   M150 R255 U255 B255 S29 P255 F1		; LED Frame = White
   M150 R255 U255 B255 S3 P255			; LED ToolHead = White
   set global.LEDModeLast = "Worklight"
 
 
 
  ; Homing (Bed flashing yellow, Frame static white, ToolHead flashing yellow)
if {global.LEDMode == "Homing" && global.LEDModeLast != "Homing"}			; Enter loop
  M150 R255 U255 S18 P255 F1			; LED Bed = Yellow
  M150 R255 U255 B255 S29 P255 F1		; LED Frame = White
  M150 R255 U255 S3 P255				; LED ToolHead = Yellow
  G4 P1000							; 1000ms time delay
  M150 R255 U255 S18 P0 F1			; LED Bed = OFF
  M150 R255 U255 B255 S29 P255 F1		; LED Frame = White
  M150 R255 U255 S3 P0				; LED ToolHead = OFF
  G4 P1000							; 1000ms time delay
  set global.LEDModeLast = "Homing"
  
; Printing (Bed static green, Frame static white, ToolHead static white)
if {global.LEDMode == "Printing" && global.LEDModeLast != "Printing"}		; Enter loop
  M150 U255 S18 P255 F1				; LED Bed = Green
  M150 R255 U255 B255 S29 P255 F1		; LED Frame = White
  M150 R255 U255 B255 S3 P255			; LED ToolHead = White
  set global.LEDModeLast = "Printing"

I know it won't loop the homing routine (can work on that next) but theres no point running the other two over and over. Let me know if it works

@jay_s_uk the reason for global.LEDModeLast is:

Printer is printing -> LEDMode = "Printing"
Toolchange comes

Toolchange macro
set global.LEDMode = "ToolChange"

tool change stuff

set global.LEDMode = {global.LEDModeLast}

When LEDMode is changed to something from "Printing", it sets LEDModeLast = "Printing"

if global.LEDMode = "Printing"		; Enter loop
  M150 U255 S18 P255 F1			; LED Bed = Green
  M150 R255 U255 B255 S29 P255 F1	; LED Frame = White
  M150 R255 U255 B255 S3 P255		; LED ToolHead = White
  set global.LEDModeLast = "Printing"   <------ here

So when the toolchange is completed, LEDMode is back at "Printing" or whatever was the last state of LED, you got the point?

jay_s_uk

@k01571n3n yea, but at the end of your tpost, you can just change it back to printing.

K01571N3N

@jay_s_uk yes i can but.. if im not printing, it will change it to wrong mode, thats why there is that last state in memory

jay_s_uk

@k01571n3n rather than using a variable, why not just check the printer state? that has different cases like idle, printing, toolchanging etc

K01571N3N

@jay_s_uk but why wouldn’t you want to use variables? i dont get your point for that

K01571N3N

@k01571n3n it is so easy to customise almost everything with variables

jay_s_uk

@k01571n3n look, it was a suggestion. i also said code that i thought would work compared to your code that doesn't. i'm sorry i couldn't help you

K01571N3N

@jay_s_uk i understand but that's why i told you why ModeLast exists. and checking printer state is one option too
