M291 and user feedback / interaction

Maybe some of you have seen my post of trying to built a calibration routine for the CR3D Idex machines.

https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/21803/calibration-routine-for-dual-extruder-printers

This thread did not get much tracktion...probably due to the kind of complex nature of such a routine. So I'll try to break down the problem into smaller chunks.

The "newest" problem is the user-interaction.
After completing the z-calibration the user should be asked, if he is satisfied with the results. Otherwise it should be repeated.

	; start z-calibration routine
while z_satisfied = false
    M291 P"Put a piece of Paper on the built plate" R"Calibration of z-Position" S2
    T1
    M291 P"Move the Bed up using the buttons until the paper slightly graps on the nozzle" R"Calibration of z-Position- Tool 1" S3 X0 Y0 Z1
    G10 P1 Z{-axes[3].position}		; set z-offset of Tool1 to value from last calibration
    M500 P10                        ; safe Tool1 offset
    G1 Z5
    T2
    M291 P"Move the Bed up using the buttons until the paper slightly graps on the nozzle" R"Calibration of z-Position- Tool 2" S3 X0 Y0 Z1
    G10 P2 Z{-axes[3].position}		; set z-offset of Tool2 to value from last calibration
    M500 P10                        ; safe Tool2 offset
    G1 Z5
    M291 P"Remove Piece of Paper" R"Calibration of z-Position" S2

	; start test print for z-calibration
    ;M98 P"z_test_print.g"				; Print z-calibration lines

	; ask user if he is satisfied
	M291 P"Are you satisfied with the z-calibration results or should this step be repeated" R"Calibration of z-Position" S2
	; If M291_input = yes
    ;    z_satisfied = true
    ;else
    ;    z_satisfied = false

Is it possible to get a "feedback" and or yes/no-buttons with M291 or is there any other way of "user-interaction"?

@MacNite said in M291 and user feedback / interaction:

not right now - unless "OK" / "cancel" is sufficient

Thank you!
Is there any "feedback" from the M291 command I could use in conditional code?

M291 P"If you're satisfied with the z-calibration results push "OK", if z-calibration shall be repeated push "cancel"" R"Calibration of z-Position" S2

So I can coordinate if thh z_satisfied variable should be set to true or false according to the user-input?
