Console and macros

The System Console (under Tools) lets you see a Klipper printer's console and run its macros.

Sending commands and running macros is for administrators only

Any signed-in user can see the printer's response and the list of macros. Sending a command or running a macro requires the administrator role: if you do not have it, NOPAL answers "Permiso insuficiente" (insufficient permission).

Console​

  1. Select a Klipper printer.
  2. The printer's response appears in real time.
  3. An administrator can type a G-code command in the "Send command..." box and send it.

NOPAL checks the permission before sending anything to the printer.

Macros​

The Macros block lists the macros you have defined in Klipper's printer.cfg, with the description you gave them ("No description configured in Klipper" if they have none). An administrator runs a macro with one click, without typing it in the console.

The other consoles​

Each family has its own console, inside the machine's section:

MachineWhere
MarlinOn the printer's card. See Marlin printers
Laser and CNC (GRBL)Laser Console, in the machine's section. See Laser and CNC
Bambu Lab, Elegoo, FlashForgeThey do not have a console in NOPAL

In all of them, viewing is for everyone and sending commands is for administrators only.
