  • @Neotko request to have the fan kickstart in the builder
  • Removed PS_ON_PIN assignment for naked UMO (as reported by @drayson) -- as side effect it will remove the 'power off' option which does nothing in the controller menu!
  • Fixed a Marlin bug related to auto.g files (for the ones still printing with SD-Cards :roll: )
Details in the commit log ;-)
Youuu rock men!

The fan kickstart it's online on the builder? Just wondering :D

Yes, in the experimental page

(I didn't test it myself, for the experimental branch I am relying a bit on you guys ;-) )

I'll test my fans tonight. S3D sets a 500 millisec pause to kickstarter them. Thankkkssss!!

Well tested kickstarter.

100-200 are almost like nothing, I would remove them. 300 only failed on me 2/6 and 400 worked perfectly 10/10 times. I would set as default a minimum of 400millisecs and I think 500 could be just perfect (ofc this depends on the fans) but I didn't 'fell' that 100-200-300 was enough for the fans to really get a nice spin.

The Motors current (I haven't test it yet) looks soooo sweet (menu and easy to understand).

Thanks for this @amedee best firmware ever!

Ohh men that auto.g bug it's the one you fixed? I stopped using auto.g exactly because of that!

It was so annoying that after a print was done sometimes it was going again for it. So it was because the sd was inserted after turning it on!

I'll start to make a new auto.g to make the leds fade at start :D

Thanks for the feedback. I'll tweak the values in the builder -- I started at 100 because it is the default in the builder, but obviously I don't think either that a 1/10th of second pulse is enough to get a fan running.

Hey, at least someone else who saw that!
Yes, it is a real Marlin bug --you only hit it if you boot without SD and the card with the first SD print has an auto.g file...
It is an edge case and as I don't think a lot of people are using the auto.g files it never came to light.

I'll do a couple of additional tests this week and then I'll merge all the experimental branch in the stable one. Some advanced features may not be fully tested, but I am confident nothing is broken in the core functionality.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what are auto.g files and what are they used for?

From Marlin Readme:
If you place a file auto[0-9].g into the root of the sd card, it will be automatically executed if you boot the printer. The same file will be executed by selecting "Autostart" from the menu.
First *0 will be performed, than *1 and so on. That way, you can heat up or even print automatically without user interaction.

I had no idea you could make a printer autostart like that.

Ah! Okay, I thought it is something that I saw once on a trade show where they had a g-code file that printed a small part, pushed it from the build platform with the extruder and then started printing another one.

Hi @amedee

I will like to ask an extra option.

Could we have the led startup (it's quite cute) um2 led turn on? I think it's on the um2 marlin

lcd_menu_startup()
{
lcd_lib_encoder_pos = ENCODER_NO_SELECTION;

LED_GLOW();

On the UltiLCD2

Or something very silly I know... :D

Can you elaborate?
I have no clue on what you are talking about :oops:
(I never used an UM2 :roll: )

Sure sorry. I never seen a um2 in live too XD but, because my um2.1 china board was flashed with um2 firmware, when I turned on the led lights made a fade from 0 to 100ish, and it's so cute. Also it's quite boring to turn the leds on everytime (but as much as before because you fixed the auto-gcodes).

https://ultimaker.com/en/manuals/130-calibration
Check the first animation from ultimaker. When turns on it fades from off to on at the startup.

Can't embed a mp4 but it's this:
