It is only used when the MMU is disabled. With the MMU we use a defined ramming sequence.
When the MMU is disabled I borrowed the usages from Marlin 2.
The L parameter only defines the length for the "fast" load length.
Default value is 70mm, same as M600
- remove virtual methods (we only have one fsensor implementation at a time)
- comment out some of the debugging texts
- remove volatile and replace them with proper synchronized access to relevant variables
Don't start moving the E-motor immediately
Instead of starting the E-motor move when the load to extruder starts,
we can start when we are loading to the fsensor. At that stage
the MMU has changed from a fast load to a slow load.
Because it looks like the communication drop outs are caused by some electrical issues and we can loose even a byte from the version response, which is deadly for future operation.
When a Progress report is started, we set the CustomMsg to MMUProgress.
But there was an issue where, once the reported "Progress" action was done.
We did not reset the CustomMsg to Status. So if we are printing from the
SD card, the file name is not displayed on the LCD.
Communication timeout and Protocol Errors are now distinguished.
In case of a Protocol Error, the printer waits for heartBeatTimeout to allow filling up the input UART buffer (we expect the MMU still produces some bytes).
Once the timeout elapsed, the input UART buffer is cleared and a new Start Sequence is initiated.
Fix the unload procedure when the user has paused a print
then stopped the print after the temperature has reached below 175°C
Now the E-motor will move as expected
This is a draft PR showing the potential 3x retry implementation on the printer's side.
It is much less code and looks more reliable than the same functionality in the MMU FW.
Still, more work needs to be done:
- [ ] Button is sent to the MMU even before returning from the parking position
- [ ] Then the button is sent again
- [ ] Then the printer runs out of retryAttempts
We need to find a better spot to check for "automatic" retry and issuing of the buttons
