Farmers want to abuse a bug from the previous firmware releases
- they need to see the filename on the status screen instead of "Wait for user..."
So we won't update the message in farm mode...
Scale extruder motor current linearly with speed.
49% less heating when running at low speed and standstill, 4% more torque at maximum extrusion rate (15mm^3/s), 15% more torque in high speed movements (un/retractions).
StealthChop mode is used for low speeds (below 900mm/min)
spreadCycle is used above. Transition speed is well above maximum extrusion rate of 15mm^3/s (275mm/min) so mode transition is not expected to be visible on printed surface.
StealthChop is expected to improve printed surface quality (less artifacts).
Warning you can burn extruder motor if it is not the same impedance as original Prusa i3 Extruder stepper motor. There is no current feedback in low speed so lower impedance motor can be burned by over current.
Even there is no direct current feedback, there is no risk for original motor thermal runaway, as motor resistance increases with temperature, current decreases.
Standstill peak phase current is expected to be 500 mA and linearly increase with speed to 970 mA at 900mm/min where spreadCycle constant current regulation takes over and keeps peak current at 805 mA to maximum speed possible.
As motor heating increases with current squared, lowering low speed current from 700mA to 500mA decreases heating 49% in thate mode, where motor spends most of the time.
Enable E-motor cool mode in farm mode only (and experimental menu) - the experimental menu is visible AND the EEPROM_ECOOL variable has a value of the universal answer to all problems of the universe - i.e. two conditions must be met at the start of the FW to enable the E-cool mode. If the user enables the experimental menu, sets the E-cool mode and disables the menu afterwards, on the next start of the FW the E-cool mode will be DISABLED. This is still subject to discussion how much obscure (security through obscurity) we'd like this option to have .
Additional stuff:
* Add serial debug msg to verify if E-cool mode is on
* Avoid access to E-cool mode switch on machines without TMC2130
* Do not allow only M907 E in case of E-cool mode+warn the user on the serial line that the command was skipped

gcode_M600_filament_change_z_shift is almost useless, since it performs
what is already been done internally by filament_unload().
However it *does* cause the carriage to raise earlier during unload
compared to making the user wait after "press for unload".
Change it so the calculated Z height matches MIN_Z_FOR_SWAP.
This change restores the minimum extruder height for filament purge
during M600 from the current 50mm back to 27mm from FW 3.9.
We do this by introducing a new option for unload_filament() to indicate
that the unload is part of an automatic swap, and in such cases avoid
raising more than absolutely necessary (this will _also_ come in handy
to avoid the extra purge in PR #2318 during M600).
A new define MIN_Z_FOR_SWAP is introduced for this purpose.
MIN_Z_FOR_UNLOAD is still used for manual lcd unload and for M702 and
hasn't been changed.
mesh_bed_leveling_flag and homing_flag should be set only when the
planner is empty as a consequence of #3100, since any operation executed
*while* the mbl/homing flag is set is considered part of the compound
instruction that generated it (G80, G28, G30, G76).
Failure in doing so can result in instructions just prior being lost,
since they're incorrectly discarded (assumed to be redone).
G1 ; lost ..
G80 ; .. if PP happens here
Fix cmd overflow introduced in 186ce0f.
With a precision of %f being .6 and assuming a maximum (theoretical)
acceleration of 99999 we need 47 bytes including terminating byte.
Round it to 48
This is handled in the same way crash detection is handled: homing/mbl
invalidates saved_target _and_ current position.
Fixes PP recovery during MBL and homing.
At a higher level, crash detection will repeat the last gcode command.
Some commands such as G28 or G80 need to be repeated in full and require
special handling.
In such cases, do not store the saved target coordinate (which is fake
in such cases) and invalidate the saved position.
This fixes the last coordinate of the first G1 move after recovery.
We also avoid moving from the origin when the saved position is
invalidated, which is not strictly necessary, but saves some time.
Crash detection is handled at a higher level (which automatically
repeats the current command), however we still need to abort the current
command correctly.
Handle XY crashes by checking the planner status after st_synchronize().
No actual changes done in the function in this, besides break->return.
In G28, simply call the new function instead of using goto, making the
code more readable.
Also remove the senseless comments in G28 about command queuing (dating
back to when G80 was queued instead of being executed).
As done when initializing the printer from a cold start, we need to
clamp the starting position to software endstops before setting the
planner position since 0,0 is frequently out-of-bounds.
This avoids an useless move during recovery that can cause a crash:
- Initial X is set to be 0
- G1 performed by homing will clamp X>=0, resulting in a positive shift
- If X is already at max X (extruder being parked due to PP), this will
slam at X+, causing an immediate crash.
Attempt to workaround the M73 C0|D0 visual issue
This is an attempt to enable alternation of time to print finish and time
to color change even in the last minute of time to color change, i.e. be
able to print "0:00C".
The proposed solution leverages the capability of the current FW to read
float values from the C|D parameter. This could have the raw benefit of
being able still to alternate this time on the LCD as "0:00C" (or
"<1min") if the slicer sends a non-zero but <1 time right before the
color change.

Further restrict babystep insertion when the lcd_update is enabled by
toggling homing_flag when probing Z (where Z shouldn't be touched
anyway as it would disrupt the measurement)
Also reset the encoder value during mesh leveling.
The code around these calls _requires_ that the steps are immediately
processed and/or added to the subsequent planner moves.
The only part that doesn't care about immediate insertion is the
direct user-insertion though the lcd encoder.
Another request from our Service dept. - the user shall be prevented
from skipping the intro wizard, because otherwise some preset/calibrated
features will look like not done - especially live-z calibration.
And since there are users, who send a machine to service to perform 1st
layer calibration only, they must not omit the Z-calibration at the
start after shipping.
As the `M0/M1` moved to the beginning of the parser
- parser would not be able to "find" `M1nn` command if the query was `M1` instead of `M1 `
- to be able to "stop/halt" without sending a string and display default message use gcode `M0`
- as there are no `M0nn` gcodes the parser can query `M0` without additional space needed as in `M1 `
- Add parameter `C` to gcode `M73`
- LCD Info screen switches to change time if last `M73` gcode contains `C` parameter
- Examples:
- `M73 P5 R120` will display on LCD ` SD 5% 02:00R ` if it is printing at 100% speed
- `M73 P5 R120 C60` will display on LCD ` SD 5% 01:00C ` if it is printing at 100% speed
Slicers can generate "Time to change/pause/user interaction" using `C<mins:0-65535>` parameter to "overwrite" the remaining print time.
To switch between time to change and remaining time just send in intervals `M73` with or without `C` parameter.
upon request from our Service dept. - it is to do the same stuff like
Shipping prep., but keep the printer's stats intact. Still, this has to
be verified and may undergo some further changes.
Acceleration settings need to be saved in UVLO, since these are often
changed/set during a print. This is especially important for travel and
retract acceleration, which is usually set once per-print.
Saving and restoring is not 100% correct.
We save the current front-end value, which might ahead of the backend
when UVLO is triggered. Print acceleration, likely the most significant,
should be saved in the block buffer to be accurate.
Acceleration needs to be restored after the UVLO Z repositioning is
performed, using an M204 command. This is correct, however we don't save
the _temporary_ max acceleration limits set via M201, which could be
higher than the saved limits (via M500). This could result in lower
clamped values compared to the original print.
Maximum acceleration/jerk/feedrate limits should _all_ be saved in UVLO
in the future.
Allow to separate extrusion and travel acceleration settings using M204,
as Marlin 1.1.x and 2.x does using M204 T.
This allows to reduce the number of instructions required during
printing, since resetting the acceleration for travel moves is no longer
required and can be done a single time during the print.
Provision for this parameter was pre-existing, but not implemented.
M204 has two forms: the lagacy format (Marlin <1.1):
M204 S[print-acc] T[retract-acc]
and the newer format:
M204 P[print-acc] R[retract-acc] T[travel-acc]
The distinction in the MK3 FW is done based on the presence of the P
parameter. If P is seen, the new format is adoped. In the new format
however, M204 T was ignored until this change.
To keep backward compatibility, M204 S[acc] will set both print and
travel acceleration, which is identical in behavior to recent versions
of Marlin.
This is an extension/optimization of PR #2956.
It uses the cached 512B block buffer to avoid heavy-weight read() in SdBaseFile.
Even though this principle allowed the AVR to skip ~600KB of data within ~5 seconds,
the impact on code base is huge, especially into well proven and long-term stable
parts like reading a file from the SD card.
The sole purpose of this PR is to show/verify the possibility of the AVR CPU
in relation to adding thumbnails into MK3 G-codes.
Moreover, this PR shall not be merged unless the missing/commented features
are restored - especially file seeking and M84 search.
PFW-1175
- code_seen("string") -> code_seen_P(PSTR("string")) saved >100B of RAM!
- serial print "." -> '.' saved some code
- extract commonly used string
- SERIAL_PROTOCOLLN("") -> SERIAL_PROTOCOLLN() as no argument is
necessary
Motivation:
- save some RAM joining the autoreport flags into 1 byte
- encapsulate the magic of setting bit masks/features into a class with
a stable public interface
- remove the UI and related stuff to setting a farm number (the
communication protocol must remain intact)
- remove confirmation after print finished ("Print OK")
Both requests are highly welcome, since they allow for lowering the code
size by >1KB
