Current firmware wishlist

dc42

As the firmware wishlist is so long now, I now keep it in the github RepRapFirmware project, at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/src/BugList.txt. Here is the current one.

Todo before 2.02 release:

[done] Step clock on Duet Maestro going backwards, https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/8264/steptimer-getinterruptclocks-isn-t-incrementing
Investigate Duet Maestro socket behaviour when cable disconnected, see email from chris

2.03:

Object model
Conditionals, loops and maths in GCode commands
S-curve acceleration
Endstop assignment, including option for 1 endstop per motor
Faster file upload?
Some features from the list below

Future:

New DuetWiFiServer using RTOS and a later Expressiv SDK version

Easier way to support multiple endstops on axes (combine with facility to reassign endstop inputs)
Junction deviation instead of jerk? Probably combine with S-curve acceleration.
