These commands can be used to send button events from the Serial Monitor. See Button Commands for more information.

blink N 🔗

Blink Status LED N times (Proffieboard V3 only)

Editing Presets in Place (writes to presets.ini) 🔗

rotate 🔗

Rotating is an alternative to saving the current preset. It puts the last preset first and saves presets.ini/tmp.

set_font FONTNAME 🔗

sdtest all 🔗

Like the "sdtest" command, but reads every file on the SD card, this can take a while.
