PanelDueFirmware 3.2.11 released

wilriker

This is a pure bugfix release to address issues with setups having multiple fans and/or extruders assigned to multiple tools.

Version 3.2.11

Upgrade Notes:

This release is compatible with RepRapFirmware 3.2 or later.

Limitations

Due to the lack of RAM this build will not run on version 1 or early version 2 PanelDue boards that use the ATSAM3S2B chip.
- Version 1.0, 1.1 and earlier v2 PanelDue: ATSAM3S2B processor (64MHz, 32kb RAM, 128kB flash) - these are the ones that the new firmware probably won't run on.
- Version 2 PanelDue manufactured from August 2016: ATSAM3S4B processor (64MHz, 48kb RAM, 256kb flash). Will run the new firmware, but not as fast as version 3 will.
- Version 3 PanelDue, including all 5i and 7i: ATSAM4S4B processor, 120MHz, 64kB RAM, 256kb flash. Will run the new firmware.

Bug fixes:

When multiple tools used the same extruder or fan only the first tool using it was considered
When multiple beds/chambers used the same heater status was only updated for the first one

Would it be possibe to add a configuration parameter to set the baby stepping value for the Paneldue? That would be nice.

wilriker

@MartinNYHC That's already present. Just look on the Setup tab. There you can choose from 4 different values (user-entered values are not planned but I would accept one or two further values if the available ones are totally inacceptable for you).

@wilriker Ups....never recognized that Thanks.

Just recognized that there is a small typo in the README on github.

On Linux: Run this Linux command to append it to the binary: cat PanelDue-v3-5.0-nologo.bin myimage.bin > PanelDueFirmware.bin

should read

On Linux: Run this Linux command to append it to the binary: cat PanelDue-v3-5.0-nologo.bin myimage.bin >> PanelDueFirmware.bin

Actually the former command is correct because it will create a new file PanelDueFirmware.bin from the con_cat_enation of the two input files PanelDue-v3-5.0-nologo.bin and myimage.bin. The second command will work as long as there is no PanelDueFirmware.bin already present. If that is the case it would append the result to the existing file making it an invalid (and too large) firmware binary.

@wilriker OMG....I just ignored the second input file

No worries, hardly anyone (still) uses cat for what it originally was intended (neither do I).
