What are Klipper Macros?
…work in progress…
Macros are small programs or functions written in Klipper gcode. They're defined in printer.cfg (or files that it includes) and are loaded when Klipper performs a soft or hard restart (RESTART or FIRMWARE_RESTART respectively), which reads printer.cfg.
Macros can be called from:
- the fluidd console
- by pressing a button for the macro in the [fluidd] GUI
