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.
When processing an M201 command, leave the acceleration of any axis that
is not specified as the existing value instead of setting it to a silly
value.
Corrected Platform.cpp to work with long filenames - note that this fix
requires a commented-out section of code in file ff.c in the SD_HSMCI
library to be re-instated.
Fixed bug introduced at version 057o-dc42 that broke the G32 bed
compensation. Added the Z heights of the bed compensation points to the
information displayed by M111 S2. Simplified the code that does
Z-probing in fast and slow stages. Added function sncatf and used it to
simplify the code in several places.
Changed the step interrupt service routine to use the average step size
when calculating the step interval, instead of the actual step size
which depend son whether X and Y are moving simultaneously. This should
give smoother movement, because from an inertial point of view the axes
are independent. It also fixes a bug whereby the accelerations were
incorrectly calculated, because DDA::AccelerationCalculation assumes a
uniform step size directly from start point to end point, whereas the
ISR was assuming a zigzag path. Also fixed bug with resetting the
minimum z-probe value seen when using an ultrasonic transducer in
differential mode.
1. Fixed bug whereby the first XY move after a Z move would often be at
a speed much higher than requested.
2. Added support for direct-mode ultrasonic sensor using command M558
P3. Command M558 P4 selects differential-mode ultrasonic sensor.
3. Changed temperature parameter in G31 command from T to S.
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.
1. G92 with a Z value now sets exactly that Z value even if bed
compensation is in effect.
2. If G32 is run before the Z axis is homed, the first bed probe in the
G32 sequence homes the Z axiws.
Remember whether each axis has been homed. Don't allow z-homing or G31
procedure unless X and Y have been homed. If axes have been homed, limit
travel to size of bed.
Increase incoming web gcode buffer size to 1200 chars to allow more
gcodes to be sent in each message
Include free buffer size in poll response
Include response sequence number in poll response
Implement M30 (delete file) via USB interface
Support M503 and M111 commands via web interface
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.
