M18, M84 - Disable steppers

control Disable steppers (same as M84).

Description

This command can be used to set the stepper inactivity timeout (S) or to disable one or more steppers (X,Y,Z,A,B,C,U,V,W,E).

If a timeout is given with S, this command just sets the stepper inactivity timeout, in seconds. Setting the timeout to 0 disables the timeout. This timeout duration applies to all axes configured to sleep with DISABLE_IDLE_[AXIS].

If no timeout or steppers are given, this command immediately disables all steppers on all axes.

If any axes are specified, this command immediately disables all steppers on the specified axes.

Notes

Axes may be renamed. Axis parameters below apply to the default axis names.
