Store endstop status in a variable

jan12345

Is it possible to store the status of an endstop in a variable?

My goal is to write something like this:

var endstop_status = M119 X
if endstop_status = TRIGGERED
    G1 .....
else
    G1 .....

Is it possible to base a condition on the status of an endstop?

As far as I understand it yes, but you'll (probably) need to reference it from the Object Model.

You can define variables within the config.g file , like I do here:

; Variables definition
global savedSpindleSpeed = 0
global PausePress = false

But the status of the variable need to be set within the macro that calls it, i.e. in my pause.g file:

; pause.g
M42 P8 S0								; pause/resume LED off
set global.PausePress = !global.PausePress				; toggle the value from whatever it was before
set global.savedSpindleSpeed = spindles[0].active			; sets the global variable
echo "Spindle speed saved at ", {global.savedSpindleSpeed}, "RPM"	; shows saved spindle speed in the Console
G1 Z{max(move.axes[2].userPosition+5,move.axes[2].max-5)} F2400		; move the Z axis to a safe height		
G0 X273.5 Y560								; move XY to a safe place
M5

Sorry, I'm not a techie, but I hope this helps.

Yes:

if sensors.endstops[0].triggered
    G1 ...
else
    G1 ...

No need to use a variable unless you want to save the triggered state to use later.
