Execute external script/binary from gcode?

[Chriss]

Hi *,

I have the idea to extend my 6HC based printer with some features. One idea includes the need to execute a external shell script on the PI, do make some tasks happening. Is there any way to do that? something like "M??? -P"/path/to/shell_script.sh".?

If not: Can we make it a feature request?

Cheers, Chriss

@Chriss there is a third-party DSF plugin called ExecOnMcode to do this, https://github.com/LoicGRENON/DSF_ExecOnMcode_Plugin.

@dc42 Many thanks for the hint. That looks exactly like the solution I was looking for!
