If the stepper ISR takes too long, chars are lost which leads to serial
communication errors like "Line number not +1" or "Wrong checksum". In
worst case, the printer can even do crazy moves.
With this changes, UART interrupts are handled inside the stepper ISR.
This way, no chars should be lost.
If ENDSTOP_INTERRUPTS_FEATURE is enabled this tries to set up interrupt routines
for all used endstop pins. If this worked without errors, `endstops.update()` is called
only if one of the endstops changed its state.
The new interrupt routines do not really check the endstops and react upon them. All what they
do, is to set a flag if it makes sense to call the endstop test we are used to.
This can be used on:
* ARM (DUE) based boards - all pins can raise interrupts,
* RAMPS - all 6 endstop pins plus some other on EXT-2 can raise interrupts,
* RAMPS based boards - as long the designers did not change the pins for the endstops or at least left enough,
* all boards, if there are enough pins that can raise interrupts, and you are willing/able to swap with pins dedicated to other purpose.
The extrusion speed was wrong due to a not high enough precision of
esteps to XY steps, therefore now the target float values are used to
calculate the ratio between XY movement and extrusion speed.
The e_speed_multiplier8 was replaced by an absolute multiplier called
abs_adv_steps_multiplier8, therefore one multiplication and bitshift can
be saved inside the stepper ISR. Due to this, also extruder_advance_k is
better suited inside the planner and not the stepper files any more.
.) long to int: Extruder stalls at 10kHz / 20kHz step limits with long.
.) Take the delta_adv_steps calculation out of the step_loops loop. Wasted calculation performance if done inside.
.) >> 2 replaced by 3: Is divide by 8. Reason: Timer 0 runs at 16/8=2MHz, Timer 1 at 16/64=0.25MHz. ==> 2/0.25=8.
The PrintrBoard Rev F utilizes a mcp4728 DAC to set motor current. Printrbot's implementation utilizes 2 new M-codes to set and write the DAC settings to the DAC EEPROM: `M909` (Read DAC) and `M910` (Write DAC). `M907` is re-used to set value, `M908` for direct control.
The Pins file for the RevF board is included.
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.
