Ultimaker 2 and LED light control.

AlexeyAlexey
in Repetier-Server
I have an Ultimaker 2 printer with the Marlin firmware. From the printer menu, I can control the light, tell me how to make the Light button work in the Repetier Server interface? I know which pin on the board Mega is responsible for the light.

    If you enabled light in server config it will use M355 to toggle th elight on/off if oyu go to the light button in control tab.

    M355: Turn case lights on/off

    Examples
    M355 S1 ; Enable lights
M355 S0 ; Disable lights
M355    ; Report status

    Every call or change over LCD menu sends a state change for connected hosting software like:

    Case lights on
Case lights off
No case lights
    Alternative solution is to define named script to do so in Printer Settings->G-Codes then you can select them in the console tab as command.

    does not work M355 but works M42 S255 on LED and M42 S0 off led.

    How can I assign this command to a button in the web interface?

    That is the butten sending M355 which seems to be not implemented. My other solution would appear at several places. Same page but at the top ">_" could contain it. Edit commands leads you to the editor where you can add as many commands as you want.
  • AlexeyAlexey
    Please provide an example of adding a command. And what file? System on Ubuntu server
  • RepetierRepetier
    Not what file. Just go to printer settings->G Code tab. Hit "Add new Command", give it a name and set gcode to your M42 command. Store config an dit will appear in the dropdown.

    Thank you, that's how it works for me. I meant the button in the webinterface

    Just rechecked it and saw that it is not included for Marlin and M355 is now supported since Marlin 1.1, so I added

    <command type="caseLightsOn">M355 S1</command>
    <command type="caseLightsOff">M355 S0</command>
    in the marlin.xml firmware description for next release. If your version does not support this, you can replace this with your M42 codes instead. The firmware descriptions are in install dir/firmwares.
