Pause confusion...
-
Hi *,
I'm a bit confused about the pause button in the DWC. I have a very complex start routine. Many things happen there and many of them take a looong time. My observation is that pressing the "pause" button does not have any effect here. Should that really be the case? I have a minimal start.g and source a macro file in the slicer start codes which includes a lot more files. The pause seems not to have any effect on that. I see the "spinning circle" for a while after I pressed the button but the printer continues it's exercise.
My understanding is that the pause button triggers "M25", I send M25 via telnet with the same result.
The M25 section directed me to "M226" which I tried too:
M226 Error: M226: use M226 and M601 only within a file being printedThe funny thing is that M601 does not have a section in the docu:
Anyway, I have the feeling that M25 times out in the background while my printer executes it's macros. Is my observation correct? Is that intentional?

@Chriss it does not time out, but it's not jumping in front of the execution queue either. If you want to interrupt long moves, you may need to enable segmentation.

Shouldn't the queue be longer than the current file? I'm sure that the pause did not even kicked in when one of the macro files ended and the FW jumped into a other one.

@Chriss I know that using "R1" in an M98 call can change the behavior of a macro such that it can be interrupted. The behavior still isn't what you might expect though, reference the G-code dictionary. I haven't tested calling g-code files within another g-code file using M98 and seeing if those can be paused.
