Add: Example Configuration for Vellemann K8200 - based on new BOARD_K8200 #1391
# Add: Example Configuration for Vellemann K8200 - based on new
BOARD_K8200 #1391
* K8200: new folder in example_configurations for Vellemann K8200 (3Drag
clone - should work with 3Drag http://reprap.org/wiki/3drag, too. Please
report)
* K8200/Configuration.h/Configuration_adv.h: updated manually with
parameters form genuine Vellemann Firmware "firmware_k8200_marlinv2"
based on the recent development branch
I tested the changes on my K8200 with 20x4-LCD and Arduino 1.0.5 for
Windows (SD library added to IDE manually) - everything works well
* Adds config parameter `PID_PARAMS_PER_EXTRUDER` - allows single PID
parameters to be used where this would be preferable (e.g. dual
identical extruders)
* When disabled, will use `float Kp, Ki, Kd, Kc;` as before.
Preprocessor macros used to switch between.
* ultralcd.cpp defines extra menus for extra parameters only where
required
* M301 reports `e:xx` only if independent pid parameters enabled
* EEPROM structure still leaves space for 3 extruders worth, when undef
will save single parameter to all extruder positions, but only read the
first
* Switching off saves approx 330 B with no LCD enabled, 2634B with LCD
(RRD) enabled: this is significant.
* LCD modifications should be tested.
The previous calc was wrong. Between N points there are only N-1 gaps,
not N.
So changing AUTO_BED_LEVELING_GRID_POINTS to
(AUTO_BED_LEVELING_GRID_POINTS-1)
Due to the fix for #1248, X and Y probe offsets must not be floats.
The compiler does not support comparing float values: "error: floating constant in preprocessor expression"
The loss in X/Y precision shouldn't matter for Z probes, as most microswitches or inductive sensors are larger than 1mm square anyway.

- Fixed issue when BAL area probing is shorter than it should be for
grid probing
- Warning when BAL activated with Delta Kinematics
- Fix XY_TRAVEL_SPEED when homing Z axis
Configuration.m: Set PID_INTEGRAL_DRIVE_MAX from PID_MAX from BANG_MAX.
Current defaults are all 255. If it makes sense to reduce them, they should come down together, and
be in a PID_INTEGRAL_DRIVE_MAX <= PID_MAX <- BANG_MAX relationship.
Changes to support displaying the real-time filament width and the
volume factor on a 20x4 LCD. The data is displayed on the 4th line.
First the status message is displayed for 5 seconds, and then the
filament data is displayed. The status message can be seen by
re-selecting the info screen in the menu.
Add another comment on configuration.h for the value of thermistor.
I make a pull request on thermistortables.h with my thermistor (12),but y see there is a comment on configuration with number 12 but it's not present on thermistortables.h ?
Thx
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.

Having the non-active feeder motors powered on all the time is not
necessary. A feature to deactivate the unused feeder motors has been
implemented. The feature is enabled on default but can be switched off
in the configuration.
