I want to add a switch to my RepStrap so that when filament runs out it will sound an alarm and pause Repetier so that I can load new filament without damaging the print.
Is there an easy way to implement a 'pause' pin in Repetier host/firmware that when activated will pause execution but NOT disable heaters (Bed & Extruder)?
From what I can tell, there is a reset setting that determines what happens when a reset pin is enabled. The problem, according to the documentation is that it will also disable the heaters...
From Configuration.h:
/** What shall the printer do, when it receives an M112 emergency stop signal?
0 = Disable heaters/motors, wait for ever until someone presses reset.
1 = restart by resetting the AVR controller. The USB connection will not reset if managed by a different chip!
*/
#define KILL_METHOD 1
The default is "1" which will reboot the controller. Setting to zero, will pause but the documentation says it will also disable heaters.
