Your start.g

Exerqtor

In the lack of anything nifty to put in start.g myself , what do you got in yours?

Proschi3D

I would be interested in idex start codes

Can't help you with strat.g but here is my very blah start.g for my jubilee tool changer:

; This file is called before any print job
T-1
if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed|| !move.axes[2].homed ; If the printer hasn't been homed, home it

My start.g file for a creality printer .... doesn't exist.

Yeah i guess the homing could live there.

I wrote these when I was beginning to learn coding on the Duet, so there may be a better way to do this, but...

I collect the time (state.time) in one global variable and the print file name (job.file.name) in another.

Then in stop.g, I collect the time again so I have the elapsed print time. I append the start time, elapsed time, and job name into a file so I can create print statistics.

When I did this, I thought the data I wanted would be deleted from the object model before stop.g would run.

And since writing the macro over a year ago, I've never looked at the file once.

But I'm going to add some of the things from Phaedrux's file, and the checking for homing.

Got som ideas there! Care to share that lucky tune btw? Just for shits and giggles? 😂

@Exerqtor Sure, here's a link to all the midi files and converted gcodes I have messed around with.

And here's the ones that actually ended up working well, including the ones I made myself.

It's a bit hit or miss these days whether the PanelDue will play them smoothly as things have gotten more complex.

And here's the original thead with a link to the tool to convert midi to gcode tone.

Thanks! Looks like it might be some weirdness happening in RRF 3.5.0b1+ though 🤔 I uploaded luckytune.g and ran it to listen to what it sound like, and each time i excecute the file it plays off in a different pitch/tune lol.

On another note (pun intended), I've slapped together something based on your start.g and my excisting print start routine:

@Exerqtor
If you have daemon.g running it tends to interrupt these "music" macros.
I see you have a global runDaemon
I use that at the start and finish of the tunes to disable the daemon for the duration of the tune.
It depends where the daemon is in terms of its process cycle as to whether the tune ends up unhindered.
You may need a G4 at the start of the tune.
