Release to Manage Experimental Releases

To avoid some of the recent issues we've had, we will start making releases marked as 'experimental' before releasing them as 'stable'. This will afford us an opportunity to have people, that are inclined to do so, test out the release before its sent to the general public. To minimize the changes to the code, I've made it so that releases that end in an even digit are 'stable' and releases that end in an odd digit are 'experimental'.

This release adds a new setting under Settings->WebControl Settings called 'Enable Experimental Releases'. By default, its disabled. Odd number releases after v0.931 will only appear in the Help->Update list if you have this setting enabled.

This releases:

  • Fixes a bug in holey calibration that prevented the computed values from being saved... oops.

  • Discovered an issue when z-axis was disabled that you couldn't resume when instructed to do so. Highly doubtful it affected anyone.

  • Added some UI tweaks by @gb0101010101 !

This update:

  • Corrects an issue with triangular calibration. Error in html code resulted in default values being saved instead of new calibration values. Pretty embarrassing :(
  • Adds GPIO LED for TESTING ONLY!!! If you try it and it breaks webcontrol, you'll probably need to manually edit webcontrol.json and delete any settings for the LED. I don't think it will break anything, but just warning.. I don't have LEDs connected to mine, so please let me know how it works.

Updated Tool Change Operation and Notification of Fake Servo, Etc.

This update:

  1. Corrects some issues with tool changes
  2. Makes the gcode index on the frontpage coincide with the gcode line numbers you see in view/edit gcode. Note, when webcontrol opens a gcode, it does some filtering so it may not be identical to what's on your drive.
  3. Makes notification to the user that the controller is in fake servo mode and gives user easy way to get out of it.

Bug Fix on Set Sprockets Vertical

Jamtek discovered a bug in the Set Sprockets Vertical software that basically resulted in a pretty vital part of webcontrol crashing. This release has a number of fixes and tweaks:

  1. All error messages that come from the controller about not being able to find a valid position will be ignored if one of the chain lengths is 0.00 mm. This occurs when you are resetting the chain lengths in the Set Sprockets Vertical command. By ignoring this message, then alarms won't appear that would cause needless concern.

  2. After each chain is extended, a stop (gcode "!") command is issued to cause the controller to recompute the sled's location. After both chains are extended, it should be able to determine a valid location for the sled and start reporting that. Without the stop commands, the controller wouldn't try to recalculate the position, so this was a simple fix.

  3. A bug fix was made so that the UIprocessor didn't crash upon trying to adjust the chains. I cleaned up too much during the documentation process and deleted something that was still apparently being used.

  4. Added instructions for Set Sprockets Vertical / Reset Chains to the offline/online help system.
