Save G-code

Save G-code writes the G-code to a file whose name contains the date and time, so that no file is overwritten by accident. The file is written only when write becomes true. Connect a Button component, not a Toggle, so that every click writes exactly one file.

Panel: 3 G-code. Nickname: Save. Compute button: no (runs on every change).

Inputs

Name	Type	Default	Description
gcode	Text (list)		G-code as one string or a list of lines
folder	Text		Local folder required with nonempty gcode before triggering write
prefix	Text	print	Filename prefix (default ‘print’)
write	Boolean		Save once when false changes to true, with gcode and folder set (wire a Button)

Optional group: Custom date/time + format inputs

Right-click the component to switch this group on. The inputs appear only while the group is enabled.

Name	Type	Description
dateTime	Date/time	Override the date and time (default now)
format	Text	Timestamp format text (default yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm), for example yyyyMMdd_HHmmss

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
path	Text	Full target path, retaining the last successful save after write returns to false
written	Boolean	True if the file was written this solve
info	Text	Save result or the reason writing was refused
