Stopping unnecessary euclid probe deploy/retracts

[Surgikill]

@fcwilt Yes, I could do that, but I'm not super fond of that idea.

@Surgikill put M401 in your macro at the beginning and M402 at the end. That will override and subsequent deploy and retracts

It minimizes the time spent mounting/dismounting and saves "wear and tear" on the system. It worked for me.

Good luck.

@jay_s_uk Yes, I have that. The issue is I am running homeall.g, bed.g, and mesh.g. Each of them has a m401 and m402 at the beginning and end, respectively. I want to be able to run each of them standalone, or in consecutive order. If I run them in consecutive order currently, it will deploy/retract at the beginning and end of each file.

[jay_s_uk]

@Surgikill i understand that.
what i'm saying is also add M401 and M402 to that to the macro you use to call all 3 as well as where they currently are

[Surgikill]

@jay_s_uk That is then going to abort the process due to error checking in my deployprobe.g

[jay_s_uk]

@Surgikill you could pass a parameter through with each command, e.g. G28 A"macro" and do a parameter check in your deployprobe.g
if the parameter isn't present, do the error checking etc

[Surgikill]

@jay_s_uk Currently I am using the euclid firmware macro. This snippet will trigger the abort.

if sensors.probes[0].value[0]!=1000    ; if sensor is value other than 1000 do this
  ; uncomment next line to echo the probe deploy state 
  ; echo "deployuser token = " ^sensors.probes[0].deployedByUser
  ; echo "Probe State = " ^sensors.probes[0].value[0]
  abort "deployprobe start value Probe already picked up.  Manually return probe to the dock"

I'm assuming I can use M99 here instead, so it will not abort the entire nest of macros, and only exit deployprobe.g

[Surgikill]

@jay_s_uk I'm thinking I could use this, instead of the straight abort that the euclid macro has.

if sensors.probes[0].value[0]!=1000    ; if sensor is value other than 1000 do this
	echo "Probe already picked up. Checking probe status"
	if sensors.probes[0].value[0]!=0
		abort "Probe not detected. Please check machine"
	M99

[jay_s_uk]

@Surgikill possibly. i've not used M99
