Firmware now recovers from USB disconnection without halting. Needs
changes to Arduino core library.
Added a timeout in the Spin() functions, which causes diagnostic info to
be stored and the system to be reset if a Spin() function takes more
than 20 seconds.
Completed changes to support multiple concurrent HTTP file requests.
Added support for new poll response for future support of additional
heaters and multiple extruders. Fixed a bug in reporting extruder
distance.
Changed webserver and network code to support multiple concurrent
connections
Removed support for differential-mode ultrasonic z-sensor
Reduced X and Y instantDv from 15 to 10 mm/sec to allow outlines of
holes to e drawn at lower speed
Changed temperature reading code to give thermistor disconnected reading
of -273C when there is a negative high ADC offset correction
Added L and H parameters to the M301 and M304 commands to allow SAM3X
ADC offsets to be corrected for. Also attempted a fix for absolute
extruder movement. - but this will still be affected by rounding error.
Removed some old binaries.
1. Fixed bug introduced at version 57r whereby axis travel limits were
not applied properly.
2. Increased maximum travel on 2nd phase of Z-probing from 1mm to 10mm
3. Added parameters R (thermistor 25C resistance) and B (thermistor
beta) to M301 command
4. Added support for M304 command with same parameters as M301 command
5. PID and thermistor parameters are now saved to flash memory
Tidied up axis homing tracking.
When checking endstops, wait for move to complete before accepting
further moves, otherwise subsequent moves use the wrong coordinates.
Temperatures and Z probes are now monitored continuously using a tick
interrupt to kick off ADC conversions. ADC is now run in 12-bit mode.
Thermistor readings are passed through averaging filters. Thermistors
are monitored for overheat conditions and bad readings in the tick ISR
and the appropriate heater is turned off (useful because the main loop
sometimes gets suspended while trying to do USB communication).
Use watchdog timer to monitor the tick interrupt - needs patch to
Arduino Due core library. Add facility to test watchdog timer (M111
S1001). Added an error status word to record that errors have occurred
(e.g. over-temperature).
M111 command changes so that S0 turns debug off, S1 turns debug on, S2
reports free memory - also now reports the type of the last restart and
the error status word. Fixed problem whereby M111 debug reports were not
sent to the web interface.
Implemented M999 command, which resets the Duet.
Removed an unused variable.
Changed some more "char*" to "const char*".
Changed extruder PID parameters and added more explanation for them.
Fixed M106 command so that the cooling fan is controllably by PWM and
works the right way round (0 = off, 1 = on). Also added optional P
parameter to specify the value that corresponds to maximum PWM.
Fixed a random hang after z-homing in the previous release. Also make Z
probe temperature coefficient default to zero always, and Z probe
calibration temperature default to current bed temperature always.
1. Z-probing is now done in two stages: a fast stage at the configured
home feed rate until within 10% of the target value, then a slow stage
at 20% of that feed rate.
2. Provisional support for ultrasonic Z-probe.
3. Added calibration temperature and height temperature coefficient to Z
probe parameters.
4. Z-probe parameters and Z-probe type are now saved to flash memory so
that they survive power-off and reset cycles. Separate parameters are
retained for IR and ultrasonic probes in case both are fitted.
5. Fixed issue with doing slow Z-moves immediately after Z-homing or
probing.
Implemented M301 command to get/set PID parameters. Improved the PID
parameters and made minor changes to the PID algorithm to improve PID
performance with Ormerod hot end.
Increase TCP window size from 1 to 2 packets and increase maximum amount
of web data sent to 1460. This decreases the page load time fro a
Windows client fro 6 seconds to less than 1 second. It also fixes a
problem whereby when using a Ubuntu client, file upload and direct print
didn't work unless the reprap.js file was edited to reduce the maximum
amount of data sent per request. Also we now initialize unused memory
with known data so that in response to the M111 S1 command we can better
estimate the amount of free memory.
Reverted STRING_LENGTH to 1029 to avoid random print hangs that occurred
using 0.57f firmware. Reduced max reported buffer size to fit within
this. Report additional memory usage detail in response to M111 S0.
Added new fields "zprobe" and "resp" to webserver poll response
Immutable string parameters are passed as const char* not char*
Increase max number of files displayed to 42
Range-check heater parameters in incoming commands to avoid buffer
overflow if heater number is out of range
Add code to support sensors that allow the IR output to be modulated, to
reduce the sensitivity to ambient IR. Use M558 P2 command to enable
sensor modulation. Also changed the sensor reading averaging code to
give more consistent z-height seeking.
This change approximately doubles the speed of SD-card uploading via USB
to 2.2Mbyte/sec on the test system, provided that Pronterface has been
patched to not wait for an acknowledgement after sending each line of
g-code.
Fixed printing over USB and via HTTP so that it uses the same lookahead
mechanism as for printing from SD provided the data arrives fast enough.
Added an incoming buffer for data arriving from USB. NOTE: Pronterface
needs to be patched to send the data fast enough for this to work well.
Also changed signatures of some member functions to be const-correct
Improved network error recovery so that it it possible to reconnect
after some types of network error have occurred
Corrected calculation of temperatures to give more accurate results
towards the limits of the ADC range
