Good morning, I’d like to create a quick function with user macros: when I press the PAUSE button, I’d like the router to stop and raise the Z-axis. This would be very useful for checking my work when I have the dust cover installed, and it would make it less dangerous to access the router if necessary, without blocking the entire process. For example, I want to clear a dust blockage that’s built up in the dust cover. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Thanks so much!
My understanding is that this is not something which can be addressed with user macros. Pausing is a native feature in Grbl where the command to pause is sent, the machine stores the current state and stops moving in a controlled manner, then restores the state and continues moving when unpaused.
The Shapeoko 5 Pro adds dual-motor Y-axis homing — which, because Grbl so compleatly fills up the memory space of the Arduino:
required that a feature be removed — the lifting during a pause was removed to facilitate this.
