Trigger Macros using Arduino + Buttons
-
Hi guys im just wondering is it possible to send gcode to a duet2 to trigger a macro. I want to make a small panel with 5-10 Buttons that will Trigger macros that i create.
-
@Mastermark You don't need to send gcode - just connect your buttons directly to spare io pins. There are many examples but here is one from the documentation - https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Tuning/Triggers

but i want to use my personal macros do these io pins just like home all ect ?

@deckingman Sorry i forgot to mention i have the Duet 2 Ethernet

See here https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m581-configure-external-trigger
In particular scroll down to the bit that says "Any trigger number # greater than 1 causes the macro file sys/trigger#.g to be executed". You can use your persoanl macros, but yiu need to name them "trigger2", "trigger3" etc.

In that case, you'll likely be limited to using spare end stops. If that's the case, then IIRC there are 5 available on the board of which you might be using a couple, but I think there are another 5 on the expansion connector.
