Hey everyone I wrote my own Extruder() function to which I pass the path length. To communicate with my extruder I need 2 arguments the path length and the current speed. Are there ways to get some I don't know global TCP speed. I am only interested in solutions related to Online programming I don't want to use Post Processors for now unless this is the only solution to my problem?

You can create a global variable in your post processor that holds the TCP speed. The Speed is updated by calling the setSpeed function of your post processor. You can customize this function for your purpose.

You can find an example to customize a post processor here:
