I was wondering how to switch on the build-in LED strip for the me creator 2 via G-Code.
Hoped, that M355 S1 P128 would do the trick but it doesn't.
Via LCD panel, it just works fine.
Switching lights on via G-Code
Re: Switching lights on via G-Code
From the gcode manual:
M150 - Set RGB(W) Color
lcd Set the color of the RGB(W) LED, backlight, or LED strip. BLINKM|RGB_LED|RGBW_LED|NEOPIXEL_LED|PCA9632
If you have an RGB(W) light, either as part of a controller or installed separately, the M150 command can be used to set its color.
Usage
M150 [B<intensity>] [P<intensity>] [R<intensity>] [U<intensity>] [W<intensity>]
Argument Description
[B<intensity>] - Blue component from 0 to 255
[P<intensity>] - Brightness from 0 to 255 (NEOPIXEL_LED only)
[R<intensity>] - Red component from 0 to 255
[U<intensity>] - Green component from 0 to 255
[W<intensity>] - White component from 0 to 255 (RGBW_LED or NEOPIXEL_LED only)
M355 - Case Light Control
control Turn the case light on or off, set brightness CASE_LIGHT_PIN
Set the case light power state and/or brightness.
Usage
M355 [P<byte>] [S<bool>]
Argument Description
[P<byte>] - Set the brightness factor from 0 to 255.
[S<bool>] - Turn the case light on or off.
Notes
Requires a CASE_LIGHT_PIN to control the on/off or PWM state of the case light. The pin will need to be a 12V MOSFET pin with PWM control, or a signal pin connected to a MOSFET or relay to control the higher current required for the light.
Example
Turn the case light on at half brightness

Re: Switching lights on via G-Code
Sending the
M355 S1 P128
code does not lead to any change.
I haven't found how to control the lights via G-code.
Any idea, anyone?

Re: Switching lights on via G-Code
Ok, figured it out by myself:
The lights are connected to PIN 6.
This makes it possible to switch on the lights by
M42 P6 S255
Switching off:
M42 P6 S0
And of course you could dimm the lights as well, e.g.
M42 P6 S128
