Firmware Configuration Commands

Hi,

New to S3D - using 4.0.0.

I'm trying to tweak the Firmware Configuration settings.

For any given FFF item like "Set Extruder Temperature" is there a way to enter more than one G-code command?

Thanks.

Frederick,

Welcome to the Simplify3D user forum. You certainly can do this. To accomplish this you will need to include some easy to recognize but unique string constant. You could use something like "NEWLINE". To change the "Set extruder temperature" setting to include a second command follow the example below.

Goes in Tools > Firmware Configuration:

Code: Select all

M104 S$ T# NEWLINE YOUR2ndCOMMAND S$ T#
Goes in FFF Settings > Scripts > Terminal commands for post processing:

Code: Select all

{REPLACE " NEWLINE " "\n"}
(this is needed because placing a \n in the firmware configuration menu will not generate a new line in the resulting g-code, but it will do so from the terminal commands area)
