So tonight I set my sights on interfacing the new linear actuator to the printer and controlling it with gcode.

To do this I am going to be using the following gcode commands.

G04 P10000 ;pause for 10 seconds

M42 P42 S255 ;set pin 42 high

M42 P43 S255 ;set pin 43 high

I am going to be making a few changes to the gcode sender to make the printer specific code such as the auto ejection be inserted on the client side and not added in the gcode produced on the server making it more generic.
