Slicer upload simulation?

[Chriss]

Hi *,

I understand that files like the start.g will be executed and the stop.g at the end. My understanding is that both files will not be executed when I execute a macro. My idea is to place a slicer generated gcode file in the macro folder to keep that for debugging purposes. Is there anything I can do to execute that file like it is a regular print job? Or should I simply change the file and place two M98 in it to source the start.g and the stop.g?

Cheers, Chriss

Yes, you can use M32 to run it; but you will need to include the path in the filename if it's not in the /gcodes folder.

@dc42 Thanks David, I will place two files in a folder than, one to start it which will contain a M32 "/macros/bla_bla/test-file.g" only. Nice.... (My bad that I was unable to find the command in the docu again. )
