hi
i am looking for sending a bunch of gcode files to the printer and have them processed one by one with a time delay of 5-10 minutes between each file. Is there a way to do it in repetier or octoprint or pronterface..
i am not using the gcode to print but to just move the printer in a sequence ... wait ... and then move again...

thanks

Two possibilities come to mind:

1. Put the commands in a gcode file, and use the G4 command to insert the pauses between moves.

2. Somewhere in the Software folder of this forum ("Experimental" I think) is a link to a piece of software that sends gcodes from the Windows command line to the serial port. You could use this in a batch file.
