      Manual is fine; I can pull them off and hit start again. I don't need it too fancy.

        Once a print finishes you can just press the Print Another button for the next part.

          But can a 3-bit selector switch be used?

          Are there Conditional Jumps? If so, I could use that, either with switches or an a/d input.

            If you wanted a button for each part you could create a macro for each one and use

            M32 "filename.g"

            to select which file to print.

              Sounds good–where do I put that? In a configuration file?

              Thanks!

                You can create them in the Web Interface, see this page for the Macro documentation.

                  And this part of the documentation for the actual 'endstop switch -> run macro' configuration: https://www.duet3d.com/wiki/Connecting_an_Emergency_Stop_button#Making_a_button_do_what_you_want

                    Is there an "easy" way to set up an Arduino to send a command (spi or other serial?) to the Duet to select the file and start? This may be the simplest, with smallest learning curve for repetitive parts…

                    Just trying to think of a "simple" way to have a selector switch (rotate to the part description) and a Go button.

                    Thanks!

                      If you don't have a PanelDue connected, you can have the Arduino feed the GCode command into the PanelDue port. Either use a 3.3V Arduino, or level shift the signal from the Arduino down to 3.3V. By default the port uses 57600 baud and it requires line numbers and checksums on the command lines.
