swing dual extruder on delta

Hello

I'm working on delta printer design. This printer will be able to swing and pack the extruder when it's not used.( see the picture attached)

To do that I use an actuator driven by a 5 V binary signal ( 0 => extruder 1, 1 => extruder 2) so I need to drive an output every extruder switching.

Is it possible to do that with the slicer ?

Big thanks for you help .

Don't do it in slicer. That is error prone. In Repetier-Firmware you can set select/deselect commands for extruders. Do it there then T0/T1 will do what is needed - no extra code required and all software can be used as with any other dual extruder.

Repetier-Software - the home of Repetier-Host (Windows, Linux and Mac OS X) and Repetier-Firmware.
