Automatic on / off the projector.

[Ustas79U]

I use Photonics 3D on my printer with a DLP projector. I control the projector by RS232. Manually turning the projector on and off is working OK.

Can it be possible to automatically turn on the projector when printing starts, and turn off when it finish? Many thanks.

Yep you can do that. If your projector isn't already supported, you can add your printer hex codes in your config.properties file under the key: hexCodeBasedProjectors

As you can see, we already have the following existing projectors supported by default: [

Closing since functionality is already supported.
