Maslow Firmware Version 0.84

This weeks firmware does not include too many changes.

This week an issue where the manual z-axis was not working started last week has been fixed, and the initial values of the settings for the kinematics have been set to a default value of 1 to make the code easier to understand.

Maslow Firmware Version 0.83

This week's firmware adds support or triangular kinematics, manual PID tuning, and fixes a bug with the motors movements being jerky.

This week's firmware also has a number of incremental improvements and bug fixes including:
-Improved calculation of circles
-Improved delay timing between computing position
-Reduced RAM use
-A catch for G0 commands with the G0 being omitted which were being run as G1 (slow!)

This firmware requires Ground Control 0.83+ to work properly.

Maslow Firmware Version 0.82

Not a huge amount of change to the firmware this week, just one tweak to the math related to how arcs are calculated.

Maslow Firmware Version 0.81

This week we identified that we were having issues where the Arduino would run out of ram resulting in jerky behavior or one motor refusing to rotate. These issues were solved by freeing up some memory in this week's firmware.

Maslow Firmware Version 0.80

No changes to the firmware this week, just need to increment the version number to keep everything in sync

Maslow Firmware Version 0.79

This week's firmware add support for the new v1.1 Arduino Shield. The version of the shield will be automatically detected when the Arduino powers up, so no need to change firmware to keep using the v1.0 beta Arduino shield 😀

Maslow Firmware Version 0.78

Version 0.78 of the Maslow firmware. Not many changes on the firmware side this week 😀

The biggest change this week was to swap the write() function from type int to type void to prevent it from being discarded at compile time.

Maslow Firmware Version 0.77

This weeks firmware includes fixes for the calibration bugs we were seeing last week

Maslow Firmware Version 0.76

Note: We've synced up the version numbers for the firmware and Ground Control this week which means that there is no v0.74 or v0.75. This is the version after v0.73.

This week's update improves the smoothness of the motors during the calibration process, and adds a stop button to the chain calibration process window.

Maslow Firmware Version 0.73

This weeks firmware fixes the manual control of the z-axis by adding a pause command, optimizes the processing strings, and fixes a potential overflow issue with the ring buffer.
