while command not work properly while printing

Re: How to make a loop of a Output_Pin ON and OFF?

Sorry for late response...

If i try the code (inside daemon.g):

while state.status  != "printing"
    M42 P1 S1
    G4 S2
    M42 P1 S0
    G4 S10

Works properly as the code said.

But i want that works while i am printing so... i use:

while state.status  != "idle"
    M42 P1 S1
    G4 S2
    M42 P1 S0
    G4 S10

If I start printing a file, it seems that the Duet3 6HC can't do two things at the same time... The duet can't make any movement and while it does it it loops.
Activates or deactivates the port sometimes during line changes.

It's like not having multitasking... one task to make the loop and another task to make movements...

Surely it can be done, but I don't know how...

Thank you!

@FBG said in while command not work properly while printing:

Can you explain a little more about what exactly you mean by this?

@FBG
M42 is queued in the movement queue, so you can try to bypass the queue:

while state.status  != "idle"
    M42 P1 S{1}
    G4 S2
    M42 P1 S{0}
    G4 S10

maybe this helps.

@gloomyandy I mean turn on/off the output relay
