[FEATURE] GPIO Output Activity about physicalbutton HOT 7 CLOSED

from physicalbutton.

I had some time to think about how to add an output activity to my plugin and I think I came up with a pretty good idea which does not increase the complexity of the interface!

I'll probably start implementing it in the next few days :D

Hi,
Do you mean something like an activity to generate a HIGH output to a GPIO pin for a set amount of time?

I like the idea :)
I'll see how I can include it reasonably.

Cheers,

This is a good feature request, but just sharing a possible alternative way to achieve a similar result depending on your printer board and firmware.

I use the GCODE command M300 S100 P20 (https://marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M300.html) to play a short beep whenever a button is pressed. Since this plugin allows listing multiple activities per button press, I just put this GCODE activity as the first in the list and its been working well!

Good idea @calebmah!
As my printer (Prusa Mini) does not support the M300 command yet, I'll still keep this feature request in mind!

@LuxuSam
Does it make sense to leave this plugin exclusively for inputs and implement the controlling of outputs in a new plugin?
My request #43 would provide a good interface for this.

This way both plugins would remain as simple as possible and universal.
