      I have a dynamic button on my Duet, for one example, when a print starts, it is configured for trigger6

      trigger6 contains a command for pause

      pause contains a command to reconfigure the button for trigger7

      trigger7 contains a command for resume

      resume contains a command to reconfigure the button for trigger6

      etc etc

      should be easy to do it for LED stuff

          Ok having a problem...

          At the end of my config file I have

          M106 P1 S1 ;Turns lights full bright
          M581 T2 E3 S0 ;Light switch

          trigger2.g
          M106 P1 S0.66 ;Turns lights 1/3down
          M581 T3 E3 S0 ;preps next trigger

          trigger3.g
          M106 P1 S0.33 ;Turns lights 2/3down
          M581 T4 E3 S0 ;preps next trigger

          trigger4.g
          M106 P1 S0.0 ;Turns lights off
          M581 T5 E3 S0 ;preps next trigger

          trigger5.g
          M106 P1 S1 ;Turns lights Full on
          M581 T2 E3 S0 ;preps next trigger

          The lights will cycle down once and back to full bright as the button is pressed. But trigger5, the prep next trigger doesnt seem to work.

          So i press the button from fresh restart, turns down 1/3 press again turns down another 1/3 press once more turns off, press again and turns on full bright, but pressing again does nothing. The lights would briefly flash off but isnt cycling down again.

          Am i missing something?

            When you create a new trigger to do something different next time the button is pressed, you should cancel the old one unless you want both trigger files to be run.

              @dc42 Oh how do you cancel the old one?
              I had assuming the new trigger declaration would over write the old one...

                Read the documentation for M581 on the GCodes wiki page.

                  I have read the docs and maybe I'm blind I can't see anything about canceling the previous trigger?

                    use S-1 to disable a trigger file

                      Thanks
                      s-1 wasnt listed on the doku gcode wiki... the reprap gcode wiki did mention it but as a delete all triggers option...

                      Anyway its sorted now thanks 🙂

                        From the doku wiki:

                        Using S-1 with no X Y Z or E parameters sets the trigger back to ignoring all inputs.
