Conditional commands in macro

Madtraxx

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a conditional move command into a tool change macro, as with X being over 195 it will crash the lever into the actual tool change tab (ultimaker 3 style).

For this I have the following command, yet whatever I try I cannot seems to get it right (as I keep getting a "Bad command" message

Put it in {} brackets.
so

if {move.axes[0].machinePosition > 195}

and then carry on as you were

I tried, yet I still get the error and lines 2 and 3 are executed even when X<195

You don't need to use { } in that command. What version of RRF are you using?

@Madtraxx

what happens when you send:

echo move.axes[0].machinePosition

You can also add that to the command to check things are working as expected:

if move.axes[0].machinePosition > 195.0
    echo move.axes[0].machinePosition
    G90
    G0 X196 Y175
G90
....

Also if you are still having issues please post the macro text here (not an image)

Currently I am using RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 2.03 (2019-06-13b2). Beginner's mistake here i guess to assume I used 3.2.2 (but it was only the Duet WEb Control 3.2.2)...

@T3P3Tony sending that command trhough the console gives me back the same "Bad command" message.

@Madtraxx yes, you need to upgrade to RRF3 to use conditional gcode

I changed to DFF v3 and changed the needed config lines to make my printer operational again.
Running "echo move.axes[0].machinePosition" in the console I still get the following:

Also changing the macro to the code that @T3P3Tony mentioned also didn't seem to work.

@Madtraxx is that 3.2? I ask because normally the upgrade is 2.5.1 ->3.0 ->3.1.1 or later as long as you are on 3.1.1 or later that command should work

I know i said RRF3 before I should have said RRF3.x (at least 3.1.1)

Flashing the correct firmware this time (>3.3.1) has resolved the issue. Thanks for all the information!
