New boolean options were all enabled, which was a problem
especially with the boolean choices DISPLAY_BUS_xxx and
DISPLAY_TYPE_xxx: all choice entries were set to True, so display
code was not only enabled behind the users back, but also set to
an arbitrary value (depending on the Python implementation).
Previously, #defines requiring a value, but configured as boolean,
broke GUI code. While Configtool its self should never write such
broken #defines, they can happen with manual config file edits.
IMHO it's fine to do such repair attempts as long as it doesn't
hobble other functionality. Whatever was broken at read time will
end up disabled at write time, unless the user changes that value
in the GUI.
This is done by parsing values from the generic config before
parsing those in the user config. Values existing in the user
config overwrite those in the generic config; values not
existing there stay at the value in the generic config.
Previously, only boolean #defines were handled properly (and
by code somewhere else). Missing #defines with value were
written as boolean #define, making the file unparseable on
the next read.
Having a choice with a defined set of options is nice, but it
also requires these options to be #defined somewhere _before_
entering config.h. To keep class-like encapsulation, we'd need
two header files for each code unit, one for the options, another
one for the usual header.
That said, we use other examples of such options, e.g. CPU, F_CPU
or KINEMATICS. For CPU and F_CPU it works fine, because their
options are numbers or other values known by the compiler. For
KINEMATICS it kind of works, because this #define is used in only
one place ... and there it's suboptimal already, because no option-
set.
Anyways, I was unsure about this change and if it turns out to be
a poor decision later, it can be reverted.
Most work by Ruslan Popov, collected from various commits and
made compatible with regression tests by Traumflug.
Display test code is now enabled by #defining DISPLAY_BUS to
i2c_twi.
Implemented and tested for both platforms. This is quite a big
commit. Unlike with the previous changes to now choosable PWM
frequencies, all board configuration files and Configtool had
to be changed immediately to deal with the additional parameter
in DEFINE_HEATER() and keep AVR builds working (and regression
tests passing).
This was forgotten with the recent move to storing configuration
items as tuples (value, enabled). It should fix the refusal to
build reported in issue #86.
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.
Tooltips don't size their box after line lengths, but have their
own idea on how wide to make it. Accordingly one should display
text with newlines only for paragraph delimiters.
This also required adjustments to all the board and printer
description comments. No functional change there.
This should solve issue #148.
Formerly, both names were arbitrary and the user had to know
that only heaters ans sensors with matching names would work
together. Accordingly, temp sensors can have only names matching
those of existing heaters. With the exception of "noheater",
which is also provided.
This kind of solves issue #143.
This looks like nitpicking right now, but further changes shall
provide only already existing heater names for temp sensor names,
so the former have to be defined first. Lead the user to follow
this strategy intuitively.
The problem was, that settings distributed in
configtool.default.ini were overridden once a configtool.ini was
created. Accordingly, users upgrading sources wouldn't see changes
in this file.
The solution is to move settings set by the distribution into a
separate file which isn't replaced by a user-saved one.
This should fix issue #142.
The Steinhart-Hart algorithm allows more precise thermistor
tables, but also requires more parameters, which aren't
available for all thermistors. Accordingly, add support for both,
the traditional logic using the beta parameter as well as the new
one.
This also adds thermistor-presets, so users can simply choose
from a pulldown-menu to set their thermistor.
Also, identical thermistors get merged into one table, saving
binary size.
Last not least, a few bugs in this area got fixed.
Usually, all these things go into separate commits, but they were
contributed all in one and separating them is a bit error-prone
for little gain.
This should address issue #130, #134 and #135.
This is the expected outcome, so explicitely reporting this, with
requiring the user to click a dialog box away, is kind of clutter.
This should solve issue #136.
Previously, loading default configurations for board or printer,
then modifying them without saving them, then attempting to
build lead to a big mess, like attempting to save the board file,
failing in doing so and then building anyways.
Likely users don't care too much about the name of the saved file,
so they likely use the default ones. If they mess up, they also
likely want to return to the original, but, d'oh, it's overwritten.
Don't let this happen, enforce a non-original file name for user
saves.
In other words: don't let users shoot themselfs into their foot.
