Any chance of having G30 accept X and Y parameters (when no P parameter is present) thus doing the math and movement needed to place the probe at X and Y without needing a preceding G1 command?

Frederick

If the printer has not been homed then moving to an XY position at the start of a G30 probe move is problematic on some types of printer, e.g. delta printers. So it's possible after Z homing has been done (and the print head would move rapidly to the specified position and dive height before probing), but potentially problematic for a G30 homing move.

@T3P3Tony Perfect, thanks a lot, I will include wiring for 4-Wire SPI then.

@fcwilt Could you move this suggestion to firmware wishlist? I think that would be a more appropriate place to discuss.

Will do.

@T3P3Tony Any chance for accelerometers to be connected to the 1LC?

A quick update: I have determined that we also need an interrupt signal from the accelerometer in order to read the data fast enough. So in total it will need 5 signal wires, plus 3.3V power and ground.

Very excited about the input shaping, especially after this video was released yesterday:

Is there a dynamic roadmap document that is periodically updated somewhere on the Github? I fully appreciate the complexities of working on projects like this and understand dates move, but perhaps a dynamic document with estimates for the next release date and a confidence level would save mods and Duet staffers fielding the same question repeatedly?

'When is RRFx.x.x' coming out mush be a very popular question on these forums!

Not yet, but we're working on making our development more transparent after the 3.3 release.
