Add Numeric Keypad To M291 Gcode
-
It would be very handy for Macros if there was a way to prompt the operator to enter a number and store it in a variable. For instance I am writing a Macro to flatten a piece of stock on my CNC. It would be handy to be able to specify some parameters like the stepover, depth and RPM to use when launching the Macro. Right now I have to hard code them into the Macro and change them if I change tools / materials. The M291 Gcode seems like the obvious choice for this addition to me.

@cthulhulabs Yes. This would be a very helpfull improvement!
-
@cthulhulabs If it helps - you can set up input panels for global variables in BtnCmd, and trigger the macro from a button.

@mintytrebor Yes, that's a good idea. And i should update BtnCmd!
But sometimes it will be very nice to link a "input" to a message. -
@mintytrebor Did not know that was a thing. Thank you!
