Z_DUAL_ENDSTOPS is a feature to enable the use of 2 endstops for both Z
steppers - Let's call them Z stepper and Z2 stepper.
That way the machine is capable to align the bed during home, since both
Z steppers are homed.
There is also an implementation of M666 (software endstops adjustment)
to this feature.
After Z homing, this adjustment is applied to just one of the steppers
in order to align the bed.
One just need to home the Z axis and measure the distance difference
between both Z axis and apply the math: Z adjust = Z - Z2.
If the Z stepper axis is closer to the bed, the measure Z > Z2 (yes, it
is.. think about it) and the Z adjust would be positive.
Play a little bit with small adjustments (0.5mm) and check the
behaviour.
The M119 (endstops report) will start reporting the Z2 Endstop as well.
Report changes from previous PR from old code base including :
I've updated the minimum values from the LCD.
It has been a while that i want to at least fix this.
I have an inductive probe and often i need to set my zOffset to something lower than 0.5.
With the current implementation, the default LCD value is set to 0.5 for some reason.
On my case i need to be able to set it down to 0.0 as my inductive probe can be lower than 0.5.
Before with the LCD we couldn't change this value below 0.5. We had to flash the firmware every time which was painful.
Now we are able to change this value down to 0.0 if needed.
I've also changed the minimum value for Z min acceleration.
In the default configuration it's set to 25 but on the LCD the minimum was 100 which is not coherent.
I've changes the minimum to 10. On this axis, depending on the mechanics/motor drivers we might require very low acceleration, so i guess 10 is somehow realistic.
- Get rid of unused temp states in the ISR, resulting in more frequent
temperature reading with fewer sensors
- Shrink code slightly in min/max testing
- Use named axis indexes, `X_AXIS` etc.
- Replace `block.steps_A` with block.steps[A]`
- Replace `A_segment_time` with `segment_time[A]`
- Add `A_AXIS`, `B_AXIS` for `COREXY` axes
- Conditional compile based on `EXTRUDERS`
- Add BLOCK_MOD macro for planner block indexes
- Apply coding standards to `planner.h` and `planner.cpp`
- Small optimizations of planner code
- Update `stepper.cpp` for new `block` struct
- Replace `memcpy` with loops, let the compiler unroll them
- Make `movesplanned` into an inline function
- Add `Conditionals.h` with calculated configuration values
- Add `SanityCheck.h` with checks for configuration errors
- Remove equivalent code from all configurations
- Move error checks from some sources to `SanityCheck.h` also
- Fix initialization of count_direction in stepper.cpp
When one hit "Stop Print" option in LCD menu, the command buffer was not
cleared. The printer keep moving until the buffer has been emptied.
Actually I could not clear the command buffer as well.. I don't know
why, it doesnt work as expected.
I need to implement a routine inside Stepper ISR to handle such
situation.
