Hi, I'm working on remapping M109/M106/M104 to something like M209 etcetera. I came across thishttp://reprap.org/wiki/Talk:G-code#M104_.26_M109_Deprecation.2C_G10_Introduction and I'm wondering about the way to continue.
The M104 used in reprap style devices is for setting the temperature of the hot end, and M109 will also wait for the temperature to be reached before continuing. I'm wondering what is the right way to go. How do you normally use tools which are heated? You have to switch those tools on/of/set temperature. Is G10 the preferred way? Basically the temperature is dependant of the process (slicing, material etc) and not dependant on the tool per se. the following could be done: - set the temperature of the tool with a G10 - internally have the "set" temperature of that tool connected with the wcomp function - than wait with M66 on the out bit of the wcomp function? with G10 and M66 you could re-use basic functions. any thoughts on the logical and right way to do this?
