Start point

Georg99

I have tripod printer. By gravity the tripod goes without power down to the bed.
So I would like a menu point to send the head of the tripod to a certain point to lay down the head on a holder.
Is something there that I missed?
Can I add that to the menu?
Thanks!

You have to modify firmware for this. Add a new menu entry in uimenu.h with a new action and implement it in ui.cpp in the okAction function as one case. There you can use

case YOUR_ACTION_CODE:

GCode::executeFString(PSTR("G28\nG1 X0"));

break;

to execute your custom script.

I have added in UI.cpp
...
break;
case UI_ACTION_START:
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("G28/nM104 S0/nG90/nG1 Z200/nG1 X-99 Y56/nG1 Z83/M84"));
break;
case UI_ACTION_ZPOSITION_NOTEST:
Printer::setNoDestinationCheck(true);
...

for uimenu.h I have no idea what to do!!
In that area the entry should be:
...
UI_MENU_ACTION2C(ui_menu_zpos_fast_notest,UI_ACTION_ZPOSITION_FAST_NOTEST,UI_TEXT_ACTION_ZPOSITION_FAST2);
#endif
UI_MENU_ACTION2C(ui_menu_epos,UI_ACTION_EPOSITION,UI_TEXT_ACTION_EPOSITION_FAST2);
UI_MENU_ACTION2C(ui_menu_start,UI_ACTION_START,"Startpoint");

/*
?ui_menu_start? what should be here?
Thanks for your help!

I am also currently studying this question!

I need a menu "install filament"

execution of the item from the menu to be performed:

Here's a code example

Gcod "m109 s230\nG92 E0\nG1 E-50 f1000"

until I do it is not derivable, need help!

may have an example of the menu changes?

it really would help!

Now in 0.92 the file looks different so my proposal on top is now different:

ui,cpp:
...
case UI_ACTION_SET_ORIGIN:
if(!allowMoves) return false;
Printer::setOrigin(0, 0, 0);
break;
case UI_ACTION_START:
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("G28/nM104 S0/nG90/nG1 Z200/nG1 X-99 Y56/nG1 Z83/M84"));
break;
case UI_ACTION_DEBUG_ECHO:
...

does that makes sense?
for the uimenu.h I need some help...

I finally misused another function: Set Origin.

in ui.cpp:
(to write all in one line with /n as separation did not work)
case UI_ACTION_SET_ORIGIN:
//if(!allowMoves) return false;
//Printer::setOrigin(0, 0, 0);
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("G28"));
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("M104 S0"));
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("M140 S0"));
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("G90"));
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("G1 X-99 Y56 Z89"));
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("M84"));
break;

and in ui.menu:
//old call
//UI_MENU_ACTIONCOMMAND_FILTER(ui_menu_quick_origin,UI_TEXT_SET_TO_ORIGIN,UI_ACTION_SET_ORIGIN,0,MENU_MODE_PRINTING)
//new call - Ablage appears now instead of Set Origin in the menu
UI_MENU_ACTIONCOMMAND_FILTER(ui_menu_quick_origin,"Ablage",UI_ACTION_SET_ORIGIN,0,MENU_MODE_PRINTING)

BTW:
if I add in my editor (notepadd++) \r (= CR) to the \n then it works in one line:
example:
#define PAUSE_START_COMMANDS "G28\n\rG90\n\rG1 Z300\n\rG1 X99 Y56"

(oops maybe I am wrong: I have to check again \n or /n ! the example atleast is working)

Repetier

It's \n

No need to delete action "ui_menu_quick_origin" just duplicate with new name and see where it gets added. Below that list is a counter that needs to be increased as well and voila, you have a new entry.
