Releases: MaslowCNC/Firmware
Maslow Firmware v1.16
Firmware 1.16 adds support for the M106 and M107 commands to turn on and off a laser diode to do etching
Merged #455 Add support for M106 and M107 6 days ago
Maslow Firmware 1.15
Not many changes this week. Support for the G40 command was added to make a warning which was concerning stop appearing, however the G40 command doesn't do anything so it's not a big change 😀
Merged #453 Turn off the warning for the G40 command 6 days ago
Maslow Firmware 1.14
Firmware 1.14 adds better support for VERY large arcs, adds support for the TLE5206 board, and improves and clarifies some warning messages.
Merged #451 Convert arc with radius greater than 25400mm to a straight line 16 hours ago

Maslow Firmware Version 1.13
Version 1.13 of the Maslow Firmware
This release improves the left motor performance for PCB 1.2, adds support for measuring using either the left or right chain, and includes a lot of code cleanup and maintenance stuff.
Merged #444 Make it possible to measure either chain 4 days ago
Merged #443 Add files so robot can maintain firmware 7 days ago
Merged #442 Add support for using the PWM pin 7 days ago
Merged #440 Remove watchdog function 7 days ago
Merged #441 Code cleanup 12 days ago
Maslow Firmware Version 1.12
Firmware version 1.12 includes a number of bug fixes and new features. Some highlights are that firmware 1.12 will fix an issue where the limits of floating point precision become a problem when cutting VERY large arcs. Arcs with very large radius's (hundreds of feet) can result in small calculation errors in the Arduino being magnified resulting in imprecise motion. 1.12 will not detect arcs which can be a problem and approximate them with a straight line. 1.12 also adds a new setting which will detect if the machine is not where it should be and automatically halt the program. This could in theory automatically detect chain wraps and protect the machine from hurting itself, however we haven't tested it in practice.
Merged #438 Added some debug output for motor steps a day ago
Merged #439 Added support for active low spindle automation. a day ago
Merged #434 Use pullups to check board version, use #defines for version 5 days ago
Merged #433 Test motors needs to be exempt from position error limit 6 days ago
Merged #432 Apply the system setting, get rid of the testing constant 8 days ago
Merged #430 Replace G2/G3 line with equivalent G1 line 8 days ago
Merged #429 Add a system setting for positionErrorLimit, stop cutting if reached 9 days ago
Merged #428 Add an alarm for gcode calculation error 12 days ago
Merged #427 remove function that was replaced in PR #389 12 days ago
Maslow Firmware Version v1.11
Maslow Firmware v1.11 includes mostly incremental improvements. This version adds support for the G4 dwell gcode command, rewords the popup which shows when the machine position cannot be found, adds support for adjusting the chain lengths more precisely by taking into account the chain pitch tolerance, defines the AUX pins at run time so that we can support more board versions, and renames all the image file extensions to be lower case for consistency.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Merged #425 Add G4 gcode, use maslowDelay() to remain responsive to GC during dwell time 2 days ago
Merged #421 Reword chain position not found popup 5 days ago
Merged #422 Add chain tolerance parameters 5 days ago
Merged #419 Define aux pins at runtime 9 days ago
Merged #420 rename .JPG/.PNG --> .jpg/.png 9 days ago
Maslow Firmware Version 1.10
Maslow Firmware v1.09
Since firmware version 1.09 is going to be the first version used by a whole new class of Maslovians we focused on making it stable over adding features. This week the only change to the firmware was to lower the default maximum feed rate slightly. There is now a setting in Ground Control which will let you change it if you would like to go faster again.
Merged #411 Revert "Over Speed Warning" 7 days ago
Merged #410 Over Speed Warning 7 days ago
Merged #409 Lower the max feedrate 8 days ago
Maslow Firmware Version v1.08
No changes since 1.07 (two days ago), just keeping the version number in sync with Ground Control.
Maslow Firmware Version v1.07
The changes to the firmware this week are minimal. Most of the changes center around setting up a system to let us automatically test changes to the firmware which is an exciting direction we will keep exploring. Better support for the 'bottom feeding' frame designs that we are moving towards was also added.
Merged #408 Setup Axes Again After Changing Chain Rotation Direction a day ago
