Solved Error: Bad command: macros

@phaedrux @LeckieTech
The folder hasn't changed.
Thanks for letting me know about the mandatory quote change. I've been using Simplify3D post processing to to replace M102 in the gcode file with the macro I'd like to to run but it will only replace what is between the first two occurring quotes. Do you have any ideas for a S3D post processing work around?
{REPLACE "M102" "M98 "P/macros/Power_OFF""}
Writes only "M98" to gcode file.{REPLACE "M102" "M98 P/macros/Power_OFF"}
No longer works as mentioned above in RR 3.3 -
@code7 Unfortunately, S3D doesn't support additional quotes inside post-processing
REPLACE
function. The workaround I use: in your system folder, make a new file using an unused G or M command ie:M990.g
then put the contents of your macro within that folder.In simplify, use
{REPLACE "M102" "M990 ; Switch off PSU"}

@leckietech
Perhaps you can do what I do.
In the section for user code I have M98 P"print_begin.g" and M98 P"print_end.g".
This is what S3D is generating for me:
; S3D inserts the following before the call to this file ;G90 ; absolute XYZ moves ;M83 ; relative E moves ;M106 S0 ; fan on to 0 (correct way to do fan off) ;M140 S60 ; set bed temp but don't wait ;M104 S190 T0 ; set extruder temp but don't wait ;M98 P"print_begin.g" ; invokes this file
I handle everything in my code.

@fcwilt suppose it depends on the use. If it was used to turn the power supply on it would have to be called at
G90
. S3D will place it too far ahead.In my code, I use the
REPLACE
function to replace G90 for my start Gcode. ```{REPLACE "G90" "G90 \nM990 ; print begin script} My actual output looks something like this:G90 ; This is a trigger in post for M990 print begin M990 ; Jump to M990.g print begin custom script in duet sys files M83 M106 S0 M104 S220 T0 G10 Z0 ; set work place orgin ; process 1 First Layer ; layer 1, Z = 0.150 T0 G110 ; Retract filament ; feature outer perimeter M204 S500 M205 X5 Y5 ; tool H0.150 W0.400 G1 Z0.150 F1002 G1 X91.152 Y75.557 F10002 G111 ; Unretract filament G1 X91.735 Y74.896 E0.0242 F900 G1 X92.392 Y74.303 E0.0243

@leckietech
So you want to turn on some power supply right at the beginning of a print?

@fcwilt OP wanted to turn off his supply with
M102
, but you could also turn on a supply with G90 as a trigger for a script to run. you could also add aG4 S5
to allow the supply to have time to stabilize the inrush current. My setup doest use a switchable supply, we have a huge 9kw supply on a buss bar running each of our racks here -

No longer works as mentioned above in RR 3.3I thought of an easier way for you to do this. Just make a file in your system directory called
M102.g
and put your PSU macro text in the file. M102 isn't used by RRF so you can use it natively right out of S3D, not need to run any post in S3D for it. -

Re: "Bad command" errors on PanelDue
I just updated to 3.3 and am now receiving errors when running a print that calls macros such as "M98 P/macros/Power_OFF".
Error: Bad command: macros/Power_OFF
However, If I run the macro from the terminal it runs just fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can work around this?
When do you this macro to run?

@leckietech although officially M98 requires quotes around the filename in RRF3, unofficially it still works without them in standalone mode. So I wonder whether S3D does something special with the forward-slash character. Have you checked what the generated GCode file contains?

when you and I were talking about this the other day, I never did get a proper output using additional quotes from S3D. I also saw on simplify's forums that many others were having the same trouble since 2018 with no solution. After you suggested making my own M codes, since then I have been using this and my own custom G110 and G111 firmware retraction codes with much success, it simply works flawlessly. I've made a dozen of my own custom codes and am in the works of adding these to all the printers in our farm! Opens the door to so much flexibility!

This line produced by S3D runs fine when pasted into the DWC console, but it doesn't run from inside of a gcode file.
"M98 P/macros/Power_OFF"Please make the GCode file available on a file sharing site - dont copy and paste the contents because I think there may be a non-printing character embedded in that line.

The script is run on retractions.
Your turning some power supply off on every retraction????

I've tried this with the M102.g macro within the system directory. When I send M102 from the console the green popup displays indicating the command is good but nothing runs. Do you know why this might be?
@dc42
Here is the S3D gcode file@fcwilt I'm turning off a device at each retraction.
-
@code7 can you post what is in the M102.g file?

@fcwilt I'm turning off a device at each retraction.
And you cannot use the user code hook in S3D for retraction?

@code7 M101, M102 and M103 are already implemented. Use a different code. I don't know why they are not listed on the GCodes wiki page.

@dc42
I changed M102.g to another number and it's working great now. Thanks
