thank you!

Well, I'm hoping for an idle timeouts independent of the motor one.

For example, a standby routine after a half-hour of being idle:

; After 30 minutes of inactivity, send the effector to the rear right corner 
; and power off, waiting for temperatures to cool.
Mxxx I"Standby" S1800 P"G1 X225 Y225 F3600; M81 S1" 

Where I is used for a timeout label, S specifies the time in seconds for the idle timeout, and P specifies some commands (or a single command invoking a macro) to run.

Currently there's a way for motors to drop current if no moves occur for awhile. Is there a way to run other Gcode when this idle timeout triggers? I'd like to set up some stuff to automatically turn off other things with a timeout.
