use variables with in macros

Eran898

hi,
i would like to know if there is a way to write macro that use global variables, and then to combine it with lets say a message like m291?.
for example i want to write macro for pid, i want to be able to enter my preferred temp in a m291 message and then it will automatically enter the right parameters in the macro.
i know i can write macro in a macro for all my bed and head temps that i use but it make more sense to just enter the values i want.

also is there a way to write loops or conditions in macros?
if there is it would be super helpful if you can send me the link to go and study it.

Rome wasn't built in a day. The groundwork in RRF3 is all built now. Conditional gcode is out now. It is all coming in due time.

You can simulate a small number of numeric variables already, by defining a dummy tool and using its XYZ offsets as variables.
