MKS-TFT MKS TFT V3.0.2 M Codes in Custom buttons don't seem to work

Hi,

I have been trying to use M Codes in custom buttons for babystepping and BL Touch controls but with no success. G Codes seem to work fine though.

An Example of what i am doing is below:

#set number of "More" button

moreitem_pic_cnt:4

#edit command for 1~7 "More" button,each command must be separated by semicolon ";"

moreitem_button1_cmd:M280 P0 S10; moreitem_button2_cmd:M280 P0 S90; moreitem_button3_cmd:M280 P0 S120; moreitem_button4_cmd:M280 P0 S160;

#how many "More" button display on screen interface

morefunc_cnt:2

#command setting on button1~6

morefunc1_cmd:M290 Z0.05; morefunc2_cmd:M290 Z-0.05;

Attached my config file for you to check. Any help would be appreciated.

You can send the command through PC software,like the Pronterface to test your main board firmware is normal.

Hi and thank you for the reply, I have already tried through Pronterface that is why i believe it is the MKS TFT firmware that is the issue.

Any other suggestions to find the issue?

Also the button used for auto levelling had the code

#the command of auto leveling (G29 is available for Marlin.While G32 is for Repetier and Smoothieware)

cfg_auto_leveling_cmd:G28;G29;

Which worked. I then changed it to

#the command of auto leveling (G29 is available for Marlin.While G32 is for Repetier and Smoothieware)

cfg_auto_leveling_cmd:G28;G29 L40 R125 F40 B150;

With the grid offsets and it now doesn't work.

It looks like the firmware has issues with spaces in commands which isn't helpful in the slightest. Is it possible for this to be checked? and if so will you provide a patch or solution to fix this?

Hello it's been a month any response to this?

I tested it and it is sending instructions normally.

anyone how to add a gcode to "more" button @Bobblejot you told its working fine for gcode can you please tell how to write a gcode to custom button @thank u @sancocbvb

Aug 26 '19 11:08 sancocbvb

Teaching tech has a tutorial on Youtube that covers doing exactly this. https://youtu.be/ncc7TRkCH-M it doesnt look any different to whats been listed here so ????? @Bobblejot I have my bed offsets in my Mainboard firmware and it seems to work fine... Although I am new at this so I could be blissfully unaware of whats actually occurring :)

Hi, I have this issue that is I want to add custom button to open the lights and close them. I connected the led wires onto the main board. But I don't know what is the code and how to write in MKS TFT 3.5 config file. Could you help me with this situation please?
