New Edge firmware 1.18beta1

DjDemonD

So here are my numbers:

Pre 1.18beta

M307 H0 A311.7 C649.8 D3.1 S1.00 B0
M307 H1 A423.4 C203.6 D5.1 S1.00 B0

Post 1.18beta
M307 H0 A259.0 C444.7 D1.5 S1.00 B0
M307 H1 A425.3 C217.6 D7.0 S1.00 B0

To be fair I had zero issues with heaters previously, it worked great before and works great now. a max of 0.8 deg C overshoot on either heater which in my books is no great shakes.

Interestingly the "overpowered heater" dire warning reckons my bed is only going to get to 278 deg C now before it reckoned 700! Luckily my thermal fuse will go long before that.

Interesting, the bed heater dead time has reduced but the hot end heater dead time has increased.

@dc42:

If you want to test baby stepping, then for now I suggest you create a "Baby step up" macro file containing command M290 S0.05 and a "Baby step down" macro containing M290 S-0.05. Change the value 0.05 to be a suitable value for the first layer height you normally use.

Many thanks for implementing Baby steps dc42 - a really wonderful feature to have easy access to!

Baby step macro naming tip:
After implementing I realised User-Defined Macros are sorted alphabetically, so initially the top of my macro list looked like this:

Baby step down
Baby step up
.
.
.

No big deal "down" appears before "up", but ▲ ▼ icons are faster to interpret and when sorted alphabetically, they display in a more intuitive order.

Now my macro list looks like this:

Baby step ▲
Baby step ▼
.
.
.

PanelDue firmware 1.16beta1 and DWC 1.15beta2 have baby stepping buttons.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Just minor feedback regarding my heater tuning (as above) it does oscillate both the bed and hotend more now than it did before. Its only a +/- 1 degree for the bed, which is absolutely fine. Its around 2-3 degrees on the hotend. With the previous settings it was more stable. Not a gripe, as both settings are acceptable to me.

Where can we find the DWC beta? Doesn't seem to be on github

I couldn't find DWC 1.15beta2 in either dc42's or Chrishamm's github repositories, including dev branches. Any ideas appreciated.

I'll add them to my repo when I publish firmware 1.18beta3 later today.
