[3.5.0-beta4] PWM controlled Brake does not de-energize upon M18
-
Just upgraded from 3.4.5 --> 3.5.0-beta4 today to try the new PWM controlled brake feature on my machine. I use several 1HCLs on 48v and was previously running 48v and 24v to all of them for solenoids and a brake on the z axis (belt driven).
I used the commandM569.7 P120.0 C"out0" V24 S250
to configure the brake and it all seems to work well until I triedM18
which made the Z axis drop. After M18 the axis is movable by hand with no resistance until resetting the machine.@dc42 I'm assuming this is a bug as in 3.4.5 this did not happen with the 24v (non PWM) brake.

@tristanryerparke please try the 1HCL firmware at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c4aatfdsejjjab0/AACGuZ4qUBvZz49zxErkhmnWa?dl=0 and let me know whether that fixes it.

@dc42 This did not fix the axis drop when sending
m18
but it did seem to keep the axis from dropping upon hitting emergency stop.I also noticed on this belt driven z with the 1HCL that sometimes the axis will drop during tuning using 3.5.0-beta4 (and still with beta4+ from dropbox). I believe I've fixed the issue by increasing the current slightly but if it worked in 3.4.5 with the lower current that would be the ideal situation. Can open a new thread for this if need be.
Overall the new firmware is making my X and Y 1HCL axes run super smooth/quiet and they seem to be able to run much faster than before.
