Is there any documentation regarding this? I've seen the homing if-statement macro so it has to be somewhere?

I wanted to make a if statement that exit my stop-macro if the Auto-sleep is checked and run the sleep macro instead.

Ok thanks! Good to know! Thought I could shave off a few seconds on my prints.

I have my printer run M81 with a stop macro after each print and I'm wondering if it's possible to do without losing your homes. I still have 5V to run the duet board so it shouldn't happen? Or have I set up something wrong?

@dek said in Problem with powering on with M80:

I have the start script stored on the duet and referencing it in the slicer with "M98 P/macros/Scripts/start.g"

And start.g starts with:
M80 ; Power On
G4 S5 ; Dwell for 5 seconds

But the printer doesn't even power up. However, sending the M80 command in the G-code console works.

Is the M98 command right at the start of the GCode file generated by the slicer? I have a suspicion that if you look, you will find there there are some heating commands before it.

Have you tried putting the M80 command in file /sys/start.g file instead? That script is run automatically when you start a print from SD card, unless you are using old firmware.

Yes, this worked! Thank you!

As Veti said I think the problem was that Cura generated the commands in the wrong order. By a start.g in the sys directory I can still keep it simple in the slicer. This will make switching between different slicers easier.

I'm trying to have the printer power on when I send it a file to print from Cura with the DuetRRF plugin. I'm sending the M80 in the start script but this doesn't work because I'm guessing it needs to power on earlier than this in the printing process. Is there any way of trigger the M80 when the printer receives a print command?
