This is to solve a potential problem while feeding to printer's drive gears - while disengaging the Idler, the Pulley was still rotating to avoid grinding the filament (printer is pulling it).
Other filaments could have moved a bit when the Idler's bearings ran over them while the Pulley was still rotating slowly -> the filament could have been moved into the Selector's path causing trouble (especially when not used in the print).
Therefore, the Idler disengages partially now - moves into an intermediate position between the slots.
Then, the Pulley is completely stopped and after that the Idler does a full disengage like before.
It looks like we don't have to reset the whole ToolChange state machine when resolving an error with the middle button (Retry) - but jump straight into the feeding phase.
The reasons are multiple:
- If an error happens during the unload phase, it is handled separately in the UnloadFilament state machine
- If an error happens during the feeding phase, the unload has been already successfully completed.
And when restarted from the very beginning, the ToolChange does the last retract sequence from the UnloadFilament phase
-> that is not healthy, because the filament gets pushed away from the Pulley and causes another error.
Sets the UI module into a mode when the printer is in charge of processing the buttons (from all sources).
That means the MMU will detect its buttons but it will not react upon them.
This mode is important for error recovery when the printer needs to do some stuff before the MMU (like preheating the nozzle).
If the MMU receives a command LoadFilament with a slot number SL we reject
the command to avoid moving the selector (effectively cutting the piece of filament present in FINDA).
That includes the scenario when the selector is standing at the very same slot SL, because the filament could be held by the printer (i.e. loaded in the nozzle).
There is one special case though - same slot AND filament load state == InSelector (it MUST NOT be anywhere farther)
It turned out FINDA needs running timer to perform BlockingInit() correctly.
Therefore setup() was split into setup() (no IRQ) and setup2() (IRQ enabled).
Then, finally, the check for FINDA state became reliable upon start of the FW.
Originally, only FeedingToBondtech was reported to the printer.
With PR#173 we have this operation separated into a fast and a slow stage (for MK3S with the chimney).
It looks like the printer could benefit from knowing if the MMU is still pushing fast
or when it entered the slow stage (to prevent ramming hard the Bondtech gears)
Along with this new state being reported, we also introduce a new ErrorCode::FSENSOR_TOO_EARLY
which basically means that the fsensor triggered in the fast feeding stage.
This commit looks horribly complex, but the main idea is to have each of the logic::commands
report their terminal OK state in the same way. That allow for leveraging this very moment
to initiate the idle timeout.
Additionally, I wanted to hide the logic of idle mode detection, which resulted in moving the
top level logic from main.cpp into logic/idle_mode.cpp and a set of additional files to compile
in unit tests.
- circular buffer can return its count of elements (even though a better solution may be implemeted later)
- stub_motion can handle multiple planned moves
- improved load/unload filament tests
This PR brings the option to move the selector directly using
buttons of the MMU - obviously while the MMU is idle and no
filament is stuck in the selector.
Left/Right buttons move the selector Left/Right.
Middle button performs a LoadFilament (into the MMU) on the active slot.
With this PR a change of LoadFilament behavior is also introduced.
Now, LoadFilament spins the Pulley for infinite time while waiting
for either FINDA trigger and/or a button pressed.
This PR brings the following improvements:
- unifies the error handling of TMC and Homing/Stallguard errors on all motorized modules (Idler, Selector, Pulley)
- now we distinguish between Homing and TMC errors + we have a separate handling of these two kinds into CommandBase unified for all motorized modules
- adds unit tests to verify the function
- fixes SetFINDAStateAndDebounce (didn't obey the press parameter before)
Introduce axisUnitToTruncatedUnit to convert from an AxisUnit (now
conveniently returned from Motion::CurPosition) to a physical unit *but*
directly into a truncated integer type, avoiding conversions to long
double types at runtime.
The related function truncatedUnit perform the same truncation of a
constant unit, so that the result of axisUnitToTruncatedUnit and
truncatedUnit(unit) result in the same type for clarity.
Both functions accept a pre-multiplier, which is applied at compile
time for constant values when optimizations are enabled.
This solves a number of issues - if FINDA or FSensor failed,
the unload was never "complete" - filament was stuck in the selector
blocking it from normal operation.
Now, after all errors have been resolved, filament is explicitly FED
into FINDA and then RETRACTED to Pulley.
Slower loading speed is necessary for precise detection
of filament sensor trigger and starting rotation of the E-motor.
Experimentally it turned out speeds above 80mm/s tend to cause timing issues
(sometimes one can hear a crack as MMU' or the printer's drive gears
slip while pushing the filament).
Such a timing issue then causes blobs in purge towers.
On the other hand - 80mm/s for the fast part of filament load
seems not only absolutely reliable, but also very quiet.
120mm/s for unload is much louder (we may slow it down later)
Solves an interesting tiny issue introduced in the previous commits.
When we start with the filament in selector, the corresponding LED
is set to ON. However, all of the logic state machines only operated
on the LED pair of the active slot -> the starting LED may have been
left ON in some edge cases.
Now, this is resolved by clearing all other LEDs except for the active
slot where appropriate.
Both movable components now perform homing sequences transparently
whenever the logic layer invalidates the homingValid flag.
That reflects the fact, that the user may have moved the Idler or Selector
while trying to resolve a HW issue with un/loading filament.
Basic rules:
- Idler gets rehomed immediately and then moves into the target slot position
- Selector rehomes once it is possible - i.e. when filament load state
is AtPulley - then it immediately and spontanneously executes the homing
sequence and then returns to the desired state
Motivation:
- resolve startup issues (EEPROM says we have filament, but FINDA is not triggered)
- resolve accidental moves of Idler and/or Selector while
digging out stuck filament from the unit
we may discuss when to check for the FSensor state and why,
but this approach seemed to me like the least invasive method
of just checking the fsensor state and reporting an error in case
it didn't switch off.
In AVR __builtin_abs() breaks for non-base types.
Provide a generic function and use an overload when it is safe to use
instead.
This fixes the underlying step count calculation in PlanMove, thus
removing the need for the PlanLongMove work-around.
That includes:
- introduce pulley slow feedrate and fsensor-to-nozzle distance
in config necessary for slowly feeding the filament from fsensor into the nozzle.
(the constant is subject to extraction into some other config as it has to be used in the printer as well).
- update FeedToBondtech accordingly to perform a gentle push into the nozzle
after fsensor detects the filament + update its unit tests.
- slight cleanup of LoadFilament + fix its unit tests
- add FeedingToNozzle progress code, as it might be interesting
to inform the printer about this task in the future
- revert non-clean changes from RetractFromFinda - it should not disengage the idler
- revert incorrect + fix ToolChange
- clean-up UnloadFilament
- feed to finda engages the idler so no need to do that before
- retract from finda disengages the idler, again avoid double operation
LEDs set mostly by feed to finda and retract from finda
because of the change of semantics of LoadFilament operation.
LoadFilament pushes the filament into FINDA and then retracts it back just to keep the
filament ready to be grabbed by the idler and pulley and loaded into the printer's nozzle.
So the selector is not blocked by the filament -> filament NOT loaded
Load filament performs feed to FINDA and retract:
- engage idler
- feed normal to FINDA with config::feedToFinda distance until FINDA triggers
- retract normal and as soon FINDA un-triggers move back to PTFE config::cuttingEdgeToFindaMidpoint
- disengage the idler
That implied introducing another substate machine - RetractFromFinda, which does the opposite
of FeedToFinda while also checking for the FINDA switching off while retracting filament.
Still, ToolChange and CutFilament need fixing with this change
