If a print is stopped, it would be nice in the future to write a file with the printer state, the filename of the print, and the position within the print.
this file could be read, to continue a previously stopped print.
not finished yet.
by overloading M32 it is now possible to execute gcode files from other gcode files, with a fixed recursion level.
This can be used e.g. for having a real start.g and end.g somewhere on the sd card, which are then called from the normal print file.
Another usecase would be to have macro-files for nozzle-change and layerchange.
I have not tested the speedwise performance. The testing was done with pronterface.
syntax:
normal call from sd card will open the new file and continue executing there.
M32 !/path/filename#
this however will call the new file and return to the caller file.
M32 P !/path/filename#
with the optional "S<position>" the file starting position can be set.
this is for continuing prints from a previous location.
The big LCD code update. This splits the display and menu implementation. Paving the way for future different displays. It also makes it easier to modify the menu structures while keeping everything consistant. Note that this most likely breaks the translations, which need to be updated.
One array was too short. This had nothing to do with long filenames, other than if they were 12 characters exactly, which could only happen if the extension and the text before were filled completely
Added more defines to the language.h file so that nowe most of the text strings are now configured via this file. Still got some hunting down to do to complete this task.
added a partial release option to "m84" aka "stepper release". If you do tiny layers, you might want to keep the z-axis powered to not loose height positioning after homeing.
- The temperature control is pretty much complete
(not sure what to do w/ autotemp though)
Changed the pins assignment to clearly separate bed and extruder heaters
and temp sensors, changed a bit how termistor tables are handled.
- The steppers control is rudimentary
(only chanages what pins it uses depending on the active_extruder var,
but that's enough for switching extruder in the start.gcode in the
the profiles)
- Tested only w/ RAMPS 1.4
