AnHardt 3f45a1acf9 Check probes only when deployed
Aim: Test probes in update_endstops only when activated

Changes:
Configurations
 Add define for FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE to handle the situation where formerly ENDSTOPS_ONLY_FOR_HOMING had to be set, or lowering the nozzle below Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER could give an "endstop hit" message.
 Add define for Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN to indicate a common situation, that we have a probe but it is connected to an endstop pin
 Add some comments
 Shift some entries to have related things together.

Conditionals.h
 We have a probe (HAS_Z_MIN_PROBE) if one of the pins is defined AND one of the probes is defined.

SanityCheck.h
 Add some tests if the probe is connected and if we have defined a probe.

stepper.cpp
 Changes to test the probe only when it is deployed (z_probe_is_active).
 Test update_endstops() when the probe is deployed.

MarlinMain.cpp
 a. set and reset z_probe_is_active in deploy_z_probe(), stow_z_probe() and dock_sled()
 b. set and reset z_probe_is_active in the case a z-servo is moved to a defined position. The only remaining unhandled servo move is in M280 where we do not end in a defined position. If you want to handle a probe use M401/402
 c. skip deploying/stowing when already deployed/stowed in the dedicated deploy/stow functions.
 d. Handle the new FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE in parallel to a servo driven probe/endstop.

 To do: In another PR. handle all probes in deploy/stow_z_probe.
 Sort out SERVO_LEVELING vs. HAS_SERVO_ENDSTOPS.

Configuration for Kossel k800 XL

This example configuration ist for a Kossel XL with a printable bed diameter of 280mm and a height of 385mm. It also has the auto bed leveling probe (with a endstop switch) and the heat bed activated.

Configuration

You might have/want to edit at least the following settings in Configuration.h:

  • MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS The hight of your printing space available, auto bed leveling makes this not as important as before
  • DELTA_PRINTABLE_RADIUS The printable radius
  • DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT [http://zennmaster.com/makingstuff/reprap-101-calibrating-your-extruder-part-1-e-steps](The steps for the extruder to optimize the amount of filament flow)

Fine tuning

  • Increase DELTA_RADIUS when the model is convex (bulge in the middle)
  • Increase DELTA_DIAGONAL_ROD when the model is larger then expected

[http://reprap.org/wiki/PID_Tuning](PID Tuning)

  • DEFAULT_Kp (PID tuning for the hotend)
  • DEFAULT_Ki (PID tuning for the hotend)
  • DEFAULT_Kd (PID tuning for the hotend)

PSU Options

  • The power supply is configured to 2 (to use a relay to switch 12V on and off)
  • It is configured to be off by default
