Messages & Media The user can edit the G-code to specify a message or a media to be displayed using the following syntax. M109 P“text message to be displayed” Q1 M120 P“image.png” Q1 10.1 Parameters meaning P the text to be displayed for M109 and the path to the image to be displayed using M120. Q the optional window type to be used to display the message or the media. The following types are available: 0: modal window with a Resume button. 1: modal window with a Stop button. 2: modal window with a Stop and Resume button. 3: modal window where the user can insert a value that will be stored in parameter #5721. 4: message will be displayed in the HUD. >=100: a message that requires a custom window R the optional number of arguments that should be set by the user. The default is 1 when Q is set to 4. The values inserted by the user is stored in parameters #5730 to #5739. D the optional default value to be used when Q is set to 3. The specified is used to generate the initial preview. A special case of M109 is M109 p“user error message” Q-1 used to stop compilation reporting a custom error message placed between double quotes. When no message is present after M109 (Eg: M109 Q-1) the default text [E0345] in line x - generic user error with m109 q-1 will be showed. To set the default values when multiple inputs should be set by the user call G10 L100 P<parameter> V<value> before calling M109 or M120. Example ; Set default value for parameter 5731. G10 L100 P5731 V987 ; Ask the user to insert 5 values. M109 Q100 P"Enter 5 numbers" R5 ; Print values inserted by the user. M109 P"User wrote: 5730 #5730, 5731 #5731, 5732 #5732 , 5733 #5733, 5734 #5734" Notes Only with M109 Q4 (HUD message) you have to use an empty string to remove previous showed message: M109 P“” Q4 It is possible to show the current value of a parameter within a message, to do that just add to the message text #<parameter_number> where parameter_number is the number of the parameter you want to display. Example: M109 P“The current value of the parameter 5001 is #5001” Q0 The images to be show using M120 should be placed in the folder <%appdata%/RosettaCNC-1/machines/RosettaCNC/media> The text messages with q0÷3 can accept a mini-html subset of tags. 10.2 Supported HTML syntax In the text field of a message the HTML syntax can be used.
