Trigger when sending a particular Gcode command

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask if it is possible to read (let say from an algorithm in python) the Gcode commands that the printer is receiving in real time (with real time I mean the printing procedure).

In general I want to have a ‘trigger’ in particular commands in my Gcode(as when changing a layer) and with that trigger I want my python script to do something.

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Kostas

  • Not in Python. You can write a C# plugin to read firmware responses. Reading lines send is not possible. So you would need to insert a command that returns a message for your action and then do whatever you want to.

    The other solution which is much simpler is adding
    ;@execute command
    to the code. That will execute the file named when it is time to print that line. This can also be a python script if you want just make sure to call the python interpreter with script as paamreter.
