Add Button to PP

[dannirr]

Anyone know how to add an extra coolant button to PP to allow you to choose an M7 coolant during manual moves or with conversational?

Alt-M should do it. Adding a button is a pain in the ass because you'll have to re-add it after every upgrade.

Alt-M ? Is that documented somewhere?

Keyboard shortcut for M7. I dont know. It might be in the docs.

Then whats the keyboard shortcut for M8 and M9?

Here it is: Alt-M
Toggle auxiliary solenoid on and off (requires SmartCool MultiCoolant Module, PN 37168)
1Cancel manual override with Alt + C or any subsequent M-code command.

But there is still no way to specify M7 in Conversational without re-editing the code. Should be able to select M7 or M8 in Conversational.

Thats for the shortcut.

M8 and M9 are toggled via Alt-F.

"But there is still no way to specify M7 in Conversational without re-editing the code.". That's correct as far as I know. I guess I didnt look past your "manual move" comment. Sorry.

If you are familiar with glade and python, you should be able to add the button. The glade file is in /python/images. The python file you'll want to look at first is probably /python/conversational.py

But as I said, its a pain in the butt to maintain the code. I have to do it on my machine every update.
