When XFLASH is not available, allow users to request _online_ crash
dumps by using D23 (since these require active user cooperation).
Once enabled, instead of just rebooting, dump memory directly to
the serial.
As similarly done with EMERGENCY_DUMP, we have two features that can be
enabled:
EMERGENCY_SERIAL_DUMP: enables dumping on crash after being requested
MENU_SERIAL_DUMP: allow triggering the same manually through the support
menu.
Create a gap between the BSS and the stack guard.
Set this gap (STACK_GUARD_MARGIN) to 32 bytes in all variants.
The gap serves two purposes:
- Detect a stack overflow earlier (falsely triggering in overtight
situations is OK!), so that we can hopefully avoid smashing
the heap and have a clean view during the dump.
- Reserve spack space itself for the stack dumping machinery,
which is going to grow the stack even further.
Remove get_stack_guard_test_value() which was unused.
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

Prevent bad readings/issues if someone changes the bed thermistor that is "better" with lower min values and creates a custom firmware.
The firmware will now be in the range of the PINDAv2 thermistor independant from the bed thermistor (which may change and need adjustments)
- Changed DETECT_SUPERPINDA to SUPERPINDA_SUPPORT as on miniRAMo the thermistor readings below 30°C
aren't accurate egnough to determine if SUPERPINDA is connected or not
- Add LCD toggle menu Settings -> HW Setup -> SuperPINDA [Yes/No] to overwrite SuperPINDA detection
- If EEPROM_PINDA_TEMP_COMPENSTATION is empty = 0xff then detect SuperPINDA by checking thermistor
- If EEPROM_PINDA_TEMP_COMPENSTAION is 0 then forec enable for temperature compensation menues and functions
- If EEPROM_PINDA_TEMP_COMPENSATION is 1 then force disable for temperature compensation menues and functions
Take advantage of the NTC thermistor found on the Einsy as an additional
safety measure, following the steps of the other MIN/MAXTEMP errors.
Introduce two configurable params AMBIENT_MINTEMP and AMBIENT_MAXTEMP
in the variant defines and set them for the MK3/MK3S to -30/+100
respectively.
AMBIENT_MINTEMP is primarily intended to catch a defective board
thermistor (to ensure MAXTEMP would be properly triggered) and thus the
trigger temperature is set just above the sensing limit and well below
the operating range.
AMBIENT_MAXTEMP is set at 100C, which is instead 20C above the maximum
recommended operating temperature of the Einsy. The NTC thermistor is
located just above the main power connector on the bottom of the board,
and could also help in detecting a faulty connection which can result in
rapid overheating of the contacts.
As for MAXTEMP, we cut power to the heaters, print fan and motors to
reduce power draw. Resume is not possible except by resetting the
printer, since the user is highly advised to inspect the board for
problems before attempting to continue.
- In both uvlo_ and uvlo_tiny, calculate Z usteps properly and adjust
the Z position to a true fullstep before disabling the motor. This
avoids shifs during recovery.
- In uvlo_tiny, instead of moving up indefinitely, adjust Z just
once using the smallest move possible (new def UVLO_TINY_Z_AXIS_SHIFT)
- Perform all the uvlo/recovery processing in physical coordinates
and MBL off: there should be no automatic Z movement!
- Disable heaters in both handlers to conserve more power.
- Add timing information to uvlo_tiny too.
- During recovery, to switch between physical and logical positioning
introduce a new "PRUSA MBL" gcode as most of the procedure is
enqueued, and no existing gcode was available.
