Macro recorder and playback #54

Open zapmaker opened 10 years ago

User request: Sometimes I just want to manually jog over to specific areas and plunge down to make holes I need. Unfortunately I cannot then take these movements and create GCode from them. Is it possible to write GCode like this on the fly? To somewhat echo Winch’s request (from another post here on your site), might it be possible to add a Macro/Record function so that I can manually make certain cuts, and then have the program repeat the commands when a “playback” button is pressed?

Solution? turn on recording, manually move, stop recording and save. Then when you run the macro it runs relative to the current postion (not absolute position).
