Custom Key @autostart_next_job

frostyybeer

I would like to add a custom key to tell Repetier-Server to @autostart_next_job.

I have looked at http://forum.repetier.com/discussion/1534 but that only works for gcode.

You can only print gcode, so yes it works only for gcode. What do you mean it should also work for?

For example, if I stop the printer and take out current print (let's say the first layer starting to peel off) I then want to
be able to push a key from my printer to start next print in job queue. Any idea on how I should go about it?

I am aware that you can simply push a button from the remote computer running Repetier-Server to start next print job, but a simple custom key on my printer would make thing much easier in my situation.

I have tried to add a custom key to ui.ccp, then added a line to define it in ui.h, and assigned it to pin 57 in uiconfig.h as follow but that would not work since it is not a gcode as you said.  

//ui.ccp
case UI_ACTION_CUSTOM_KEY:
GCode::executeFString(PSTR("@autostart_next_job"));
break;

//ui.h
#define UI_ACTION_CUSTOM_KEY    1999

//uiconfig.h
void uiInitKeys() {
  UI_KEYS_INIT_BUTTON_LOW(57); 
}
void uiCheckKeys(uint16_t &action) {
  UI_KEYS_BUTTON_LOW(57,UI_ACTION_CUSTOM_KEY);
}

Is there any way I can assign a custom push button which is connected to my RAMP1.4 board to tell Repetier-Server to execute server-commands such as @autostart_next_print when being pressed?

No, you can not inject server commands firmware side. For some functions there are responses that trigger function, but not autostart. You could do this with a lua module that listens to responses and does inject it then. But that requires a bit programming skills. See webpage docs for modules how to write them.
