These files for local configurations tend to pile up and having
them just lying around clutters a 'git status'. Putting them
into private/ makes them invisible for Git now.
As we're on the topic, I use such Makefile targets for my printers:
sells: private/config.sells.h
sells: private/board.sells.h private/printer.sells.h
@echo "Compiling and uploading for the Sells Mendel."
$(MAKE) -f Makefile-AVR USER_CONFIG=private/config.sells.h \
MCU=atmega1284p F_CPU=20000000UL all
avrdude -s -V -c stk500v2 -b 115200 -p $(MCU) -P /dev/ttyUSB0 \
-U flash:w:$(PROGRAM).hex
This is a tool to run regression tests over a whole series of
commits. Typical usage:
git checkout <topic branch>
tools/git-regtest experimental
This runs 'make regressiontest' for every single commit between
experimental and HEAD of the topic branch. Very convenient to make
sure not a single commit introduces regressions.
If there are regressions, the tools stops at the commit bringing
in the regression, so you immediately know where to look.
This is a tool for rebasing step by step, like described in
issue #81. It reliefs from all the manual typing, just rebase
a topic branch like this:
git checkout <topic branch>
tools/git-step-rebase experimental
Linking or copying this script somewhere into the PATH even allows
to use it from within git:
git step-rebase ...
These were dropped accidentally, I assume, during the Configtool
template conversion. Without them the INTERCOM feature does not
compile and so board.gen3.h is broken.
Add the gen3 config to testcases and regressiontests to ensure
this does not drop again.
Previously some features were excluded based on whether SIMULATOR
was defined. But in fact these should have been included when __AVR__
was defined. These used to be the same thing, but now with ARM coming
into the picture, they are not. Fix the situation so AVR includes are
truly only used when __AVR__ is defined.
The _crc16_update function appears to be specific to AVR; I've kept the
alternate implementation limited to AVR in that case in crc.c. I think
this is the right thing to do, but I am not sure. Maybe ARM has some
equivalent function in their libraries.
Previously they were evenly spaced across the temperature range,
now they're evenly distributed across the ADC range ... which
is not entirely the same.
This is related to issue #176.
This is, the parameter entry fields in the GUI, not in the
generated temperature table. Allowing floats is a tiny bit more
precise and also, more importantly, less confusing for the user.

We cheated before and sent the serial data in the simulator into
the G-code reporter so it could be line-buffered and then recorded
as comments in the trace-log. But this confuses the simulator
console output and is harder to manage. Revert to sending serial-out
data directly to the comment engine.
Also be less chatty about startup when connecting to a UART.
getopt_long() requires a null entry at the end of the longopts
array. It also reports an error already when some switch is
wrong, so just exit silently when we get an unexpected value.
Add simulator for SD card driver, plus add stubs for SPI and PFF
primarily to prevent the on-device code from being picked up by
the makefiles for the simulator.
Previously, values of ignored keys simply got lost and were
replaced with the ones from from the metadata file. Now this
value is preserved and perhaps, some time in the future, we'll
use this bit of information to to provide the right value when
re-enabling it.
Previously they were dropped only at save time, which is too late
for the GUI. This is mostly for robustness, the case where a
value was removed from config files, but not yet from the GUI.
Shouldn't cause functional change.
So far, values commented out are still ignored, which is why the
used regexp changed. This will hopefully change in the future,
so a configuration can remember disabled values, too.
This solves the problem of choice menus being populated with too
many entries. Before, such menus would pick up values from
board.metadata as well as from the actually loaded file.
File printer.metadata contains no options, so no adjustment
needed there.
This has to work, else we can't provide default values for new
items.
Now loading a RAMPS board and just saving it results in an
identical file. Very well. Not so for other boards, because
disabled values still get lost.
This means a custom function in pff_diskio.c, disk_parsep(),
which replaces disk_readp(). Now it no longer reads a whole
sector for every single byte, but only once per line of G-code.
Performance is now much better than with buffered reading, the
1 MB file with 16'468 lines of comments, 64 bytes per line,
read and parses now in just 46 seconds, which means 358 lines
or 22'795 bytes per second.
Unfortunately all the binary size loss is gone compared to the
previous version, we're 68 bytes bigger than before buffer-less
parsing. Reason is the new function disk_parsep() in
pff_diskio.h. RAM usage is still low.
ATmega... '168 '328(P) '644(P) '1280
FLASH: 22276 bytes 155.39% 72.51% 35.09% 17.27%
RAM: 1331 bytes 129.98% 64.99% 32.50% 16.25%
EEPROM: 32 bytes 3.12% 1.56% 1.56% 0.78%
Formerly we took efforts to read only small chunks into a
(small) buffer, just to read this buffer byte by byte yet
again for parsing. It's more efficient and requires less
code to parse the character at read time directly. This
way we can read in chunks of exactly one line, making the
buffer obsolete.
First step is to implement this in mendel.c and in sd.c/.h.
This gets rid of the buffer already.
Very inefficient in pff.c and pff_diskio.c so far, more
than 40 minutes / less than 500 bytes/s for reading this
1 MB comments file. Reason is, for every single byte a
whole sector is read. Nevertheless, this attempt appears
to be on the right track.
Binary is 156 bytes smaller, 16 bytes less RAM:
ATmega... '168 '328(P) '644(P) '1280
FLASH: 22052 bytes 153.82% 71.78% 34.73% 17.09%
RAM: 1331 bytes 129.98% 64.99% 32.50% 16.25%
EEPROM: 32 bytes 3.12% 1.56% 1.56% 0.78%
Add shortcuts to Makefile-example for regressiontests and program
so it can more easily be used as-is.
Remove the comment suggesting to use Makefile-AVR directly instead
since it is no longer more convenient, at least for the original
reason.
We should not fail the regression test if the user's config is
missing or misconfigured.
Also turn on -Werror for simulator validation, too. This might be
a bit presumptuous since we are dependent on the user's installed
gcc instance; but we already depending on him to be able to build
the simulator at all, so this doesn't seem to be too much of a
stretch.
