Prevent Multiple Retracts and Unretracts

Eddiie

Is it possible, or does it already do this? To have the firmware ignore multiple G10 commands without a G11 and vice-versa ignore multiple G11's without a G10?

Retract Example:
G10 check for flag, if flag is high, ignore G10 command, otherwise set a flag to 1 and retract.
G11 reset flag and unretract.

this might get complicated with multiple tools.. ?

I am noticing back to back G10's in my GCode

The firmware already ignores multiples G10 and multiple G11...

Yes, the firmware will never do multiple retracts or un-retracts. So if your gcode file contains multiple G10 commands, only the first will be acted on. Subsequent G10 commands will be ignored until a G11 command is sent. Likewise only the first G11 unretract will be acted on and any others will be ignored until a G10 command is sent.

Edit sorry @fma - looks like we were typing at the same time.

Edit 2. This behaviour also applies if you try and send multiple G10 or G11 commands via the console.

That is great news! Thanks guys.
