Accessing Updated Macro Variable Values

[3dcoded]

   RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="Current Test Number {printer["gcode_macro test_number"].testnumber}"
   increment_test_number



   RESPOND TYPE=command MSG="Test Number after increment {printer["gcode_macro test_number"].testnumber}"

Updating Macros without Restarting Klipper

I recently created DynamicMacros, a way to update simple macros without restarting Klipper. It works by having the “dynamic” macros in a separate file, not included in your printer.cfg. Then, a [dynamicmacros] config section references that file. Whenever a dynamic macro is reloaded with the DYNAMIC_MACRO command, it reads the provided configuration files and executes the macro. This way, you can edit your macros without restarting Klipper. Currently, dynamic macros support the following: Upd…
