    Any chance of getting a new command added for backing up settings?

    What I would have in mind would be similar to “$$” (perhaps “$$$”), but format the output text as a command instead. That is, instead of displaying:
    “[mt] motor idle timeout 2.00 Sec”
    the line would read:
    $mt=2.00

    If TinyG supports comments for commands, like it does for g-code, then it could be something like:
    (firmware build 438.02)
    …
    $mt=2.00 ( motor idle timeout 2.00 Sec )
    …

    Are you a Chilipeppr user?

    I have a beta widget there that will save parameters to a PC file and restore parameters.from a PC file.

    Here is a link to How-To:

    Feedback appreciated.

    It has run from Linux and MacOS so far.

    Both Kevin (configuretinyG) and I have had an occasional failure, indicated by a timeout while waiting for the tinyG write response. Restarting the SPJS has cleared it, but it is not clear of that masks something or clears an issue.
