We're assigning step_rate with the 16-bit value of final_rate
I would expect the comparison to be 16-bit also then.
Change in memory:
Flash: -32 bytes
SRAM: 0 bytes
Remove a few redundant language.h includes
Also remove language.h include from cmdqueue.h to prevent including language.h unnecessarily
Fix missing message.h includes in a few files
Main changes:
* setAllTargetHotends() is removed
* setTargetHotendSafe() is removed
* Extruder parameter on setTargetHotend() is dropped
Change in memory:
Flash: -192 bytes
SRAM: 0 bytes
Setting pullups on the ADC should trigger the model-based check, making
this redundant and wasteful.
Keep the DEBUG_PULLUP_CRASH menu so that we can verify this behavior in
the future.
Scale extruder motor current linearly with speed.
49% less heating when running at low speed and standstill, 4% more torque at maximum extrusion rate (15mm^3/s), 15% more torque in high speed movements (un/retractions).
StealthChop mode is used for low speeds (below 900mm/min)
spreadCycle is used above. Transition speed is well above maximum extrusion rate of 15mm^3/s (275mm/min) so mode transition is not expected to be visible on printed surface.
StealthChop is expected to improve printed surface quality (less artifacts).
Warning you can burn extruder motor if it is not the same impedance as original Prusa i3 Extruder stepper motor. There is no current feedback in low speed so lower impedance motor can be burned by over current.
Even there is no direct current feedback, there is no risk for original motor thermal runaway, as motor resistance increases with temperature, current decreases.
Standstill peak phase current is expected to be 500 mA and linearly increase with speed to 970 mA at 900mm/min where spreadCycle constant current regulation takes over and keeps peak current at 805 mA to maximum speed possible.
As motor heating increases with current squared, lowering low speed current from 700mA to 500mA decreases heating 49% in thate mode, where motor spends most of the time.
Enable E-motor cool mode in farm mode only (and experimental menu) - the experimental menu is visible AND the EEPROM_ECOOL variable has a value of the universal answer to all problems of the universe - i.e. two conditions must be met at the start of the FW to enable the E-cool mode. If the user enables the experimental menu, sets the E-cool mode and disables the menu afterwards, on the next start of the FW the E-cool mode will be DISABLED. This is still subject to discussion how much obscure (security through obscurity) we'd like this option to have .
Additional stuff:
* Add serial debug msg to verify if E-cool mode is on
* Avoid access to E-cool mode switch on machines without TMC2130
* Do not allow only M907 E in case of E-cool mode+warn the user on the serial line that the command was skipped

Introduce new macros TMC2130_MINIMUM_DELAY/STEPPER_MINIMUM_DELAY for
blocking pauses.
If MINIMUM_PULSE has defined to be zero, avoid the delay call entirely.
Remove most of the original complexity from advance_spread.
Instead of accumulating time to be scheduled, plan ahead of time each
eISR tick using the next main interval + an accumulator (eISR_Err),
which keeps everything much simpler.
The distribution of the advance ticks is now using the real LA
frequency, which leaves a bit more time between the last LA tick and
the main stepper isr.
We take advantage of the accumulator to force a LA tick right after the
first main tick, which removes a +/- 1 scheduling error at higher step
rates.
When decompressing, we force 2 steps instead, so that the direction
reversal happens immediately (first tick zeros esteps, second inverts
the sign), removing another +/- 1 error at higher step rates.
Turns out for high-res curved models the numerical error and the
SLOWDOWN handling in the planner can cause enough variance in the
calculated pressure to trigger LA to continuosly, making matters worse.
Clamp LA again, but only during extrusion, so that the runaway error is
limited by the current segment length.
