Additional follow-up the PR #3631(Encapsulate Stepper, Planner, Endstops in singleton classes)
・Change from abort_on_endstop_hit to stepper.abort_on_endstop_hit in endstop.cpp, Marlin_main.cpp, and ultralcd.cpp
・Add include path to cardreader.h and temperature.h in endstop.cpp(for CardReader class and disable_all_heaters())
It fix compilation error when ABORT_ON_ENDSTOP_HIT_FEATURE_ENABLED and SDSUPPORT are enabled.
・Change from digipot_current() to stepper.digipot_current() in Marlin_main.cpp
・Change from digitalPotWrite() to stepper.digitalPotWrite() in Marlin_main.cpp
It fix compilation errors when HAS_DIGIPOTSS is enabled.
・Change from microstep_mode() to stepper.microstep_mode() in Marlin_main.cpp
・Change attribute of microstep_mode() from private to public in stepper.h
・Change from microstep_readings() to stepper.microstep_readings() in Marlin_main.cpp
・Change from microstep_ms() to stepper.microstep_ms() in Marlin_main.
It fix compilation errors when HAS_MICROSTEPS is enabled.
As suggested in #2521
- Move `ABORT_ON_ENDSTOP_HIT_FEATURE_ENABLED` because `SDSUPPORT` is
also required.
- Add a note that endstops must be enabled for the feature to have any
effect
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.
- Add BIT and TEST macros
- Add _APPLY_ macros to stepper.cpp to help with consolidation
- Consolidate code in stepper.cpp using macros
- Apply standards in stepper.cpp
- Use >= 0 instead of > -1 as a better semantic
- Replace DUAL_Y_CARRIAGE with Y_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS
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.
