Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:
Yes. For some firmware types, such as Marlin, file uploads don't work as expected. I observed that when I send an entire G-code file at once only the first 8 commands actually get executed. After some research I discovered that this is because the Marlin firmware will only queue 8 commands at a time, the rest of the commands get discarded because they arrive before the printer has had time to run the commands it has already received. I believe the queue limit can be increased but doing so has a negative impact on the printers overall performance because it uses up memory so I don't want that to be the solution. For more detail read this comment on issue #2.
Describe the solution you'd like to see:
It would be great to develop a streaming function that will send the commands one at a time, only sending the next one after the previous one has been executed.
Describe alternatives you've considered:
N/A
Additional Information:
This can be done by proceeding the file with a M111 S1 command.
