Klipper Dynamic Macros
Never restart Klipper again for simple macros.
Klipper Dynamic Macros is an unofficial way to update macros without restarting Klipper, so you can update macros mid-print and see their results live. It also supports extra features that normal GCode Macros don't have.
Features
- Recursion
- Receiving Variables
- Utility Functions
- Variables
- Python
- Delayed GCode
- Macro Clusters
- Rendering Macros
How Normal Macros Work
Your macros are written in a .cfg file, then included into your printer.cfg. When Klipper restarts, it parses these files and saves the macros internally (you can't change them without restarting Klipper). When a macro is called, the cached code is interpreted and run.
How Dynamic Macros Work
Your macros are written in a .cfg file, then the relative path to that file is configured in a [dynamicmacros] config section. The config files are read and parsed every time you run the DYNAMIC_MACRO command, allowing you to update macros without restarting Klipper.
Klippy Extras Tutorial
DynamicMacros also includes a tutorial on writing Klippy extras.
