M950 to add servo control

jay_s_uk

@T3P3Tony yes, something like that. maybe with the ability to set the % for the fan you want to use.
e.g.
M950 S0 "servo+fan" K10:90 U90
where K is the min/max angle and U is the fan percentage
Its a bit tight on what letters are available on M950 so I had to reuse a couple

@jay_s_uk ok the numbers would be for @dc42 to decide but I get the general idea.

Are there any other examples of these sorts of "composite" devices that come to mind?

jay_s_uk

@T3P3Tony none that come to mind that I've seen

@jay_s_uk was hoping for some nice generalisation of the concept. Oh well.

@T3P3Tony maybe its a bit like "if you build it they will come"
I don't keep track of most of the cooling options though TBH as I'm mostly CPAP now

@jay_s_uk @T3P3Tony I have 2 applications for this cooling and venting, I sometimes need to vent the printer chamber through a carbon filter because of the fumes ,but can only do this when the chamber is cool enough for the activated carbon, I'm sure there will be other uses, as always I

@moth4017 that feels like something that can be done with metagcode already (,the chamber venting if the chamber sensor is below a certain temperature)

@T3P3Tony i still need to control a vent/solenoid / servo as my chamber is sealed , i just thought it would be away to kill 2 birds one stone
