*Unofficial* 1.22.0-gtj1 Release *Unofficial*
-
@dc42 is seriously tied up ATM so while he's busy I thought I'd create a totally and completely unofficial release that contains the enhancements that I've been working on.
You should use this release for testing and providing feedback only. For production use, please wait for David's official releases.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THESE ENHANCEMENTS WILL BE IN DAVID'S OFFICIAL RELEASE IN THEIR CURRENT FORM. He's the custodian and these are my first contributions to the project.
Enhancements included:
The Current, Active and Standby temps are now color coded to show state.
The Tool buttons on the Control screen now cycle among off, active and standby instead of just active and standby.
Macros now show up on Control screen when the printer is in standby state.
You can force the number of macro columns to show on the Control screen.These enhancements are based on the official 1.21.3 release.
I only have a 7i panel so feedback on how these work on other panels would be appreciated.

Doesn't work on my 5 inch https://www.dropbox.com/s/ymtoi32dx3peyb6/VID_20180807_164304.3gp?dl=0 after booting it does this, after few seconds it reboots.
-
@dragonn Well, that's not good. Exactly which model do you have?
Can you try the -nologo.bin version? -
@gtj0 that is my panel https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WQScosea-Q8S-93-5-5-0-inch-800-480-TFT-LCD-Display-Touch-Panel-Screen-Module/32659478023.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.386e4c4dBkrY6t and my PanelDue is the smaller one, 2.0? Will try -nologo.bin
-
@dragonn OK, which firmware file do you use?
-
@gtj0 PanelDueFirmware-v3-5.0.bin now I will try PanelDueFirmware-v3-5.0-nologo.bin
-
nologo.bin - the same problem. Interesting that after boot it works for a 1-2 seconds, even the touchpad is responsive, then it crashes.
-
When you first started the panel after the firmware install, were you asked to recalibrate your screen?
-
@gtj0 Yes, it asked my ever time when I re-flash the firmware.
-
@dragonn OK, I'm looking through what I changed to see where the issue might be. It's odd though since you have the same panel resolution (800x480) as the 7i I have. When you first start the panel, see if you can quickly get to the Setup screen, then tap "Macro Columns" and set it to 1. Then go back the Control screen and see if it still crashes.
-
@gtj0 I set macro columns to 0 and then it works. Hmmm I think I see what is the problem, when I entered settings after flashing from old to new version marco columns was set to 255 :D. And it doesn't work when I set macro columns to auto, then it shows 255 too :P.
-
I found another bug - I clicked STOP on panel Due to kill my printer and disable heaters, the firmware did restart and DWC showed heaters active temp 0C but on PanelDue the didn't update, still was set 280C witch was not true.
-
@dragonn AhHa! OK, I made something unsigned when I should have made it signed. An easy fix and I'll do it tonight.

That's not a bug it's a feature
I really dislike when the DWC forgets the temperature you've set when you turn the heater off. The PanelDue now remembers it but maybe I need to clear it if the printer has been reset and the PanelDue reconnects. -
@gtj0 I think we need to be consistent across DWC and PanelDue if you want to have you work merged. It will be confusing if DWC works another way then PanelDue witch such critical things like heaters.
-
@dragonn You maybe right but I also don't want to go down the route of not being able to fix things in PanelDue that are "broken" in DWC. I'll revert that for now and maybe add an option in setup for it later.
-
Update to fix the Macro Column initialization and revert the "sticky temps" feature...

@gtj0 PanelDueFirmware-v3-5.0.bin now I will try PanelDueFirmware-v3-5.0-nologo.bin
If your panelDue controller is version 2.0 (check the back of the board) then you will need a v2 build, not a V3 build.

@dc42 Checked, I have v3.0 :P, didn't know 2.0 isn't the latest version.
@gtj0 I can confirm that now everything works fine. About the sticky temps, I think we need a better solutions, maybe something like 'restore' button when you open the change temp menu.
BTW. do you have plans to fix/add option to select with fan is controlled with PanelDue? My part cooling fan is connected to number 3 and not one :P. Would be nice to allow user selecting witch fan is controlled by PanelDue. -

About the sticky temps, I think we need a better solutions, maybe something like 'restore' button when you open the change temp menu.I am just about to upload a new version that has a new setup option for turning Sticky Temps on or off. There are a few other fixes as well.

I didn't but I could. There's only 1 more slot left for storing config data though so @dc42 would need to weigh in. At some point we may need to start reading extended config info from a file on the printer but I don't know how @dc42 would feel about that.
