Pause and wait for user input

General Discussion

Basic Information:

Printer Model: Custom
MCU / Printerboard: BTT M8P
Host / SBC CB1

Describe your issue:

Is it possible to issue a PAUSE command inside a macro when the printer is NOT printing?

PAUSE works great during a print, but I need one that works outside of a print.

For example, when running the macro below, it just blows past the PAUSE as if it were not there

[gcode_macro WAIT_FOR_USER_INTERACTION_TEST]
gcode:
RESPOND PREFIX=“User Interaction” MSG=“Press ‘Resume’ to continue the routine.”
PAUSE ; Infinite pause, waits for user to press resume
; The following steps proceed after user clicks resume
G28

Any thoughts?

I use Christian Vick’s add ins for my SV07. Many of his macros use the following:

[delayed_gcode _UI_Button_Clicked_Timer]
gcode:

SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=_varis VARIABLE=button_clicked_name VALUE=‘“”’

[gcode_macro _UI_Button_Clicked]
gcode:

{% set name = params.NAME|default(“”)|string %}
SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=_varis VARIABLE=button_clicked_name VALUE=‘“{name}”’

UPDATE_DELAYED_GCODE ID=_UI_Button_Clicked_Timer DURATION=5

Don’t expect any help from this old man if you need help adapting the commands’
