Improvements and bug fixes in sensor delay buffer for filament sensor code
Improvement to avoid reinitializing delay buffer with every print. Fixed
issues in buffer indexing and memory out of bounds due to floating point
imprecision. Simplified the code by avoiding conversion to standard
diameter and 1cu mm extrusion, which caused complications in determining
mm extruded.
Real-time filament diameter measurement and control
This feature allows the printer to read the filament diameter
automatically and adjust the printer in real time. Added code to read
an analog voltage that represents a filament diameter measurement. This
measurement is delayed in a ring buffer to compensate for sensors that
are a distance away from the extruder. The measurement is used to
adjust the volumetric_multiplier for the extruder. Some additional g
codes (M404, M405, M406, M407) are used to set parameters and turn
on/off the control. g code M221 is updated. Pins for RAMPS1.4, RAMBO,
and Printrboard are identified for analog input. The configuration file
is updated with relevant user parameters.
This is a feature to protect your printer from burn up in flames if it
has a thermistor coming off place (this happened to a friend of mine
recently and motivated me writing this feature).
The issue: If a thermistor come off, it will read a lower temperature
than actual. The system will turn the heater on forever, burning up the
filament and anything
else around.
After the temperature reaches the target for the first time, this
feature will start measuring for how long the current temperature stays
below the target minus _HYSTERESIS (set_temperature -
THERMAL_RUNAWAY_PROTECTION_HYSTERESIS).
If it stays longer than _PERIOD, it means the thermistor temperature
cannot catch up with the target, so something *may be* wrong. Then, to
be on the safe side, the system will he halt.
Bear in mind the count down will just start AFTER the first time the
thermistor temperature is over the target, so you will have no problem
if your extruder heater takes 2 minutes to hit the target on heating.

Users can be confused as to which values to enter after a PID tune. Updating the message to help clarity it.
New message: "PID Autotune finished! Put the last Kp, Ki and Kd constants from above into Configuration.h"

In some cases the Bed Heater FET heats up more then stepper drivers, so
this change add the bed monitoring to the controller fan. As soon as the
bed heater is turned on, the controller fan will run as well.
In previous version, even with PWM = 127, the system turns the FET off
and then on in the next cycle. This bevavior may increase the FET heat
dissipation.
It was fixed keeping the FET always On when PWM=127.
It is a realtime control over the head position via the LCD menu system that works _while_ printing.
Using it, one can e.g. tune the z-position in realtime, while printing the first layer.
Also, lost steps can be manually added/removed, but thats not the prime feature.
Stuff is placed into the Tune->Babystep *
It is not possible to have realtime control via gcode sending due to the buffering, so I did not include a gcode yet. However, it could be added, but it movements will not be realtime then.
Historically, a very similar thing was implemented for the "Kaamermaker" project, while Joris was babysitting his offspring, hence the name.
say goodby to fuddling around with the z-axis.
Revert and extend previous change pin check change
Reviert previous change of #if BLAH_PIN > 0 to #if defined(BLAH_PIN) &&
BLAH_PIN > -1. Unfortunately some times pin 0 is used. For my sins I've
gone through and replaced all unsafe checks of #if BLAH_PIN > -1 with
the safe version.
Allow Edit menu to call fn after edit; Fix PID Ki and Kd display in menus; Actually use changed PID and Max Accel values
Add new 'callback' edit-menu types that call a function after the edit is done. Use this to display and edit Ki and Kd correctly (removing the scaling first and reapplying it after). Also use it to reset maximum stepwise acceleration rates, after updating mm/s^2 rates via menus. (Previously, changes did nothing to affect planner unless saved back to EEPROM, and the machine reset).
Add calls to updatePID() so that PID loop uses updated values whether set by gcode (it already did this), or by restoring defaults, or loading from EEPROM (it didn't do those last two). Similarly, update the maximum step/s^2 accel rates when the mm/s^2 values are changed - whether by menu edits, restore defaults, or EEPROM read.
Refactor the acceleration rate update logic, and the PID scaling logic, into new functions that can be called from wherever, including the callbacks.
Add menu items to allow the z jerk and e jerk to be viewed/edited in the Control->Motion menu, as per xy jerk.

This allows PID_FUNCTIONAL_RANGE to use a maximum duty cycle higher
than PID_MAX. This is useful for powerful heaters to heat quickly in
bang-bang mode, but use a lower duty cycle that is easier to stabilize
in PID mode.
Implement automatic extruder/cold-end fan control based on temperature
This change allows fan outputs to automatically turn on/off when the
associated nozzle temperature of an extruder is above/below a threshold
temperature.
Multiple extruders can be assigned to the same pin in which case the fan
will turn on when any selected extruder is above the threshold.
It also makes the M42 command compatible with the M106/M107 command.
The majority of the logic in this change will be evaluated by the
compiler at build time (i.e, low code space requirements).
Add PID functional range setting. With high powered heaters the current functional range of 10 degrees causes high overshoots as the PID needs to kick in before the temperature hits 10 degrees below target.
Fix the sensitive pin definitions, there where analogue numbers in the digital pin list. Also made M42 without a P function on the LED_PIN (which was otherwise a useless pin definition)
