New PanelDue firmware released November 25, 2015 05:37PM |
I have just released firmware 1.13 beta 1. The main changes this time are:
- Added Extrude popup
- Support subdirectories in macro and file lists
- Allow a different page to be selected even when there is a popup. Preserve the keyboard popup on the Console page.
- Allow other options on the Settings tab to be pressed even if there is already a Settings popup
Pre-built binaries are at [github.com]. Don't forget to use the Raw button to download the binary you want.

Re: New PanelDue firmware released December 13, 2015 04:26AM |
Hello David,
of course I know that mine did not work. At work we supplied 24" Touch monitors for PC connections. Even with this type of touch panels you cannot connect the monitor easily to another PC. Often it works, but sometimes it fails in the same way like my display with your PCB: Thinking of CAD it seems that all points are mirrored according to a point at the center, more or less.
It would have been nice if the setup procedure would have been run after connection. On the other hand you ensure that the firmware will be updated. How often I thought why did the people do not upgrade the firmware? Many are using FW 0.78 and they are wondering why something does not work as aspected even though there are 3 times the order to update the firmware.
That is the way that I was talking about. I think it is important that the PanelDue behaves like the web-interface and the user should have a choice to get the behavior he likes. I often use the cancel function if something goes wrong with the first layer. If there was some ooze for example or the layer height was wrong starting the print.
BTW I am happy that I have a 5V DC regulator board from Replikeo where some terminals are missing. I do not know how to add a heatsink at the linear regulator with the original board. I have found an effective and cheap heatsink which is not very tall for the heatsink dissipation, but it needs the space of the connectors. But hey, I have never experineced before that this heatsink is getting hot, 95°C that is nearly too much (Acoording to the datasheet 125°C). Okay once my case for the board is finished I will add a fan for additional cooling. Regarding your connectors: For the black connectors you have slightly better crimp contacts as it seems you have a better material. However the white one looks better, but I have a different type. The nose-pieces are longer and the crimp contacts are a little bit easier to handle with my crimping tool. At least I am not a big fan of the black connectors but I did not find a suitable alternative and I have about 950 crimp contacts here.
Here is the datasheet of the heatsink:

Which minimum thermal resistance should I use? I am afraid that another heatsink will not fir anymore. I hope it is okay to ask this here or should I open a new thread?
Best regards,
Sven

What I think is needed is a separate "Abandon print" gcode, that in RepRapFirmware would run a macro. In the absence of such a gcode, PanelDue sends M0, which I thought is also what the web interface sends.

That would be really nice. Many thanks. Otherwise if you do not do this you can assure that the users are doing a firmware upgrade.Quote

Regarding the touch panel orientation, in future I'll do a Factory Reset after testing the board, so that it will start up at the touch calibration screen.
Seriously this could be indeed an advantage like I said before. BTW I have to rethink my macros. I am using your macros (delivered with your 1.09k-firmware) and accidentally tipped on "Load filament" instead of "Retract 5mm". My extruder motor was not amused very much. My fingers are a little bit too big.I was also considering to get rid of the expansion board as it is only needed for EMC reasons and I am not very interesting in this as private users until the official measuring device is in front of my house as the neighbours complains of having trouble with their TV program
Of course the switching regulator is much more effective so besides getting rid of the heat sink it will also save costs for energy. So the internal regulator is doing its job with the PanelDue well?
Seriously As I am reaching more than 100°C with heat sink it is of course not a good idea to use it without. Okay the PCB seems to provide a very small copper heatsink, but this is not nearly good enough. And as the complete PCB may get hot in this case it is no wonder that his board failed. But the regulator itself was broken? Even with the thermal shutdown?

Okay there would be one question left:
In the case of the Duet Version 0.6: What gives me a better and more stable 5V DC voltage?
So BTT: You may call me fussy, but the time left indication is swapped compared to the Web-interface. The WI starts with the time left based on the filament length and the PanelDue starts with the time left based on the file usage. What can I say? Software developers are the worst and most annoying persons even though I am more in hardware development. Lucky me.
