MCP4728 consistency & fix ultralcd.cpp
The MCP4728 DAC controls the stepper motor current strenth on the
PRINTRBOARD Rev F and RIGIDBOARD V2 boards.
PR #5792 on 9 FEB 2017 implemented default drive percentages but only on
the RIGIDBOARD V2.
This change moves the default settings to Configuration_adv.h.
Also, ultralcd.cpp won't compile because of a type def conflict.
Changed it to match the one in stepper_dac.cpp
===========================================================
reword stepper curent section for clarity
===========================================================
change name & improve comments
===========================================================
changed name from A4JP to SCOOVO_X9H per PR #6139
# This is the commit message #2:
fix typo
The offset for Z_DUAL_ENDSTOP (z_endstop_adj) is already in Marlin.
This PR just makes it a configuration item.
z_endstop_adj is initialized in two places so both had to be modified.
Made the double touch portion a conditional compile based on the
PROBE_DOUBLE_TOUCH flag.
==============================================
Bugfix
The current G38 only stopped a move if it involved the Z axis.
Moved all the G38 code to it's own section and put it where it would
always be executed no matter what axis was moving or if the endstop was
enabled.
Also added a comment to configuration_adv to alert the user the double
tap had to be turned on.
==============================================
Change G38 back to using Z_MIN_PROBE
There's no Z_MIN endstop if Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS is enabled and you have them
set to the top of the gantry.
G38 started out as using the Z_MIN_PROBE pin. I don't remember why we
changed it to the Z_MIN endstop.
The target here is to update the screens of graphical and char base
displays as fast as possible, without draining the planner buffer too much.
For that measure the time it takes to draw and transfer one
(partial) screen to the display. Build a max. value from that.
Because ther can be large differences, depending on how much the display
updates are interrupted, the max value is decreased by one ms/s. This way
it can shrink again.
On the other side we keep track on how much time it takes to empty the
planner buffer.
Now we draw the next (partial) display update only then, when we do not
drain the planner buffer to much. We draw only when the time in the
buffer is two times larger than a update takes, or the buffer is empty anyway.
When we have begun to draw a screen we do not wait until the next 100ms
time slot comes. We draw the next partial screen as fast as possible, but
give the system a chance to refill the buffers a bit.
When we see, during drawing a screen, the screen contend has changed,
we stop the current draw and begin to draw the new content from the top.
lcd_update can take so much time that the block buffer gets drained if
there are only short segments. This leads to jerky printer movements for
example in circles and a bad print quality.
This change implements a simple check: Only if the block currently
executed is long enough, run lcd_update.
This also means the printer will not show actual values on the LCD nor
will it respond to buttons pressed. A option that keeps the menu
accessible is also available.
Aditionaly, slow down if a block would be so fast that adding a new
block to the buffer would take more time. In this case, the buffer would
drain until it's empty in worst case.
1) modified 3 code files
Marlin.h
Marlin_main.cpp
endstops.cpp
2) modified config files so I could test on my machine
Testing was done on an AzteegX3pro based machine.
The probe was hooked to the Z_MIN endstop.
My controller doesn't have a dedicated Z_PROBE input so I couldn't test
that functionality.
Verified that a large file (without any G38 commands) executed the same
before and after the changes.
Verified that the head moves as expected when G38.2 and G38.3 commands
are issued. Single & multiple axis moves were tested along with + and -
directions.
Code was added to the main ISR. In normal operation only one extra IF
statement is evaluated. I didn't notice any performance degradation
because of the added code.
The G38 commands are expected to be issued manually by the operator
during machine setup. The G38 commands wait until the machine is idle
before proceeding. That way the other commands are minimally impacted
by the extra ISR overhead when a G38 command is in the queue.
The G38 commands are very similar to the G28 commands except 1) only the
Z_PROBE is used and movement can be in the + or - direction.
See issue 4677 for a discussion on adding G38 commands to Marlin.
Feature request: add ability to use G38.2 command (CNC)

Similar to the current Arduino HardwareSerial
but with max. 256 byte buffer-size.
Deactivated by default.
The boards with AT90USB processor (USBCON) already use a TX-buffer.
Add an emergency-command parser to MarlinSerial's RX interrupt.
The parser tries to find and execute M108,M112,M410 before the commands disappear in the RX-buffer.
To avoid false positives for M117, comments and commands followed by filenames (M23, M28, M30, M32, M33) are filtered.
This enables Marlin to receive and react on the Emergency command at all times - regardless of whether the buffers are full or not. It remains to convince hosts to send the commands. To inform the hosts about the new feature a new entry in the M115-report was made. "`EMERGENCY_CODES:M112,M108,M410;`".
The parser is fast. It only ever needs two switch decisions and one assignment of the new state for every character.
One problem remains. If the host has sent an incomplete line before sending an emergency command the emergency command could be omitted when the parser is in `state_IGNORE`.
In that case the host should send "\ncommand\n"
Also introduces M108 to break the waiting for the heaters in M109, M190 and M303.
Rename `cancel_heatup` to `wait_for_heatup` to better see the purpose.
Includes:
*firmware version / branch / date.
*extruder count
*board information (name, serial details, power supply type)
*thermistors (names, min/max temperatures)
*printer statistics (PRINTCOUNTER details)
Thanks to @thinkyhead for contributions.
No compromises for the manage_heater(). manage_heater() will return immediately when there is nothing to do, but needs a constant detaT to work proper.
Calling idle() only every 200ms results in a display update every ~2 seconds - that should be enough.
For the other functionalities in idle() and manage_inactivity() 200ms is a lot but hopefully works.
When setting the bed temp via M140/M190 if the thermistor does not read an increase of WATCH_BED_TEMP_INCREASE degrees by WATCH_BED_TEMP_PERIOD seconds then it will throw "Error:Heating failed, system stopped! Heater_ID: bed" and call the kill() function.
