๐ New Klipper Module: Rapid Macro Development Made Easy! ๐
🕑 Added 2024-12-20 17:47:01 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Iโve been tinkering again, and yesterday I developed a small yet powerful Klipper module that, combined with my existing RELOAD_GCODE_MACROS function, makes Rapid Macro Development a breeze! ๐
How does it work?
Simply add the [auto_reload] section to your Klipper configuration to load the module. Once set up, it automatically watches for changes in your printer.cfg file. The moment you save your changes, it triggers RELOAD_GCODE_MACROS to reload the configuration on the fly.
This means no more manually restarting Klipper or reloading macrosโjust tweak, save, and see your updates in action immediately. ๐
I get that this might be a niche feature for most, but for those 2-3 macro tinkerers out there (you know who you are ๐), this could be a total game-changer. Itโs already saving me so much time in my workflow, and I thought, why not share it with the community?
If youโre into macro development or just curious to try it out, Iโd love to hear your feedback! Let me know how it works for you or what features youโd like to see next.

That's a great idea! I'll need to check if it's feasible, as the configuration management in Klipper can be a bit complex.

This is a great idea! I would suggest adding posibility to instance several times for it to watch other files too.
