Question #177

Closed jtannenba closed 2 years ago

jtannenba commented 2 years ago

Describe your problem

Is there a way to tell the led to shut off when the print is done? Did I miss a setting? I only use startup and print. When the Psu control shuts the printer down the light is still on.

Please confirm the following

If you are using PSU control, then you can add @WS_LIGHTSOFF to the gcode scripts to also control the LEDs.

There is an option in this plugin to have the LEDs go off after a certain time, though it is a bit more complicated. You need the 'Success' and 'Idle' effects enabled, and then a number of seconds for 'Return to idle' and 'idle timeout'.

Thank you. What I did was run the external 5 v from the neopixels to the plug controlled by the PSU. I don't know why dum dum didn't think of that before. :-)
