Pausing a laser cutter
-
Hi
I have a laser cutter on duet2wifi, 3.4.5 firmware. It also has a panel Due connected.
It is machining very critical parts and the printer does drift in position over temperature. I would like to pause the cutter when the room is too hot or too cold and resume cutting when temperature is back to normal (controlling it at 26C +/- 0.3 degrees).
I can generate an error signal from the room temperature controller.
How do you advise me to connect duet2?
Thanks -
@flopes have you looked at the triggers? M581 https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m581-configure-external-trigger
