The Configuration.h file entries for BL-Touch have been updated to:
```cpp
//#define BLTOUCH
//#define BLTOUCH_DELAY 375 // (ms) Enable and increase if needed
//#define BLTOUCH_HEATERS_OFF // if defined the printer's heaters are
turned off during probe event
```
==============================================
clarified BLTouch calculation & changed comment delimitters/flags
I found it hard to pickout the various sections in this area so I
changed most comments from // style to /** ... */
Made the BLTouch calculation simpler and clarified the units of measure
for the result.
============================================
add changes to example configurations

If dithering is enabled, the remainder of the soft_pwm_X duty value at
turnoff time is added to the next cycle. If e.g. the duty is set to 9 and
SCALE is set to 2, the PWM will be active for 8 counts for 3 cycles and
12 counts on each fourth cycle, i.e. the average is 9 cycles.
This compensates the resolution loss at higher scales and allows running
fans with SOFT_PWM with significantly reduced noise.

- Add configuration support for zigzags in either the X or Y axis, for
wipe pads significantly longer in one dimension.
- Add configuration for default number of zig-zag triangles, vs. a
magic number in `Marlin_main.cpp`.
- Update description of auto nozzle wiping to match functionality
If ENDSTOP_INTERRUPTS_FEATURE is enabled this tries to set up interrupt routines
for all used endstop pins. If this worked without errors, `endstops.update()` is called
only if one of the endstops changed its state.
The new interrupt routines do not really check the endstops and react upon them. All what they
do, is to set a flag if it makes sense to call the endstop test we are used to.
This can be used on:
* ARM (DUE) based boards - all pins can raise interrupts,
* RAMPS - all 6 endstop pins plus some other on EXT-2 can raise interrupts,
* RAMPS based boards - as long the designers did not change the pins for the endstops or at least left enough,
* all boards, if there are enough pins that can raise interrupts, and you are willing/able to swap with pins dedicated to other purpose.

Why double touch probing is not a good thing.
It's widely believed we can get better __probing__ results when using a double touch when probing.
Let's compare to double touch __homing__.
Or better let's begin with single touch __homing__.
We home to find out out position, so our position is unknown.
To find the endstop we have to move into the direction of the endstop.
The maximum way we have to move is a bit longer than the axis length.
When we arrive at the endstop - when it triggers, the stepper pulses are stopped immediately.
It's a sudden stop. No smooth deacceleration is possible.
Depending on the speed and the moving mass we lose steps here.
Only if we approached slow enough (below jerk speed?) we will not lose steps.
Moving a complete axis length, that slow, takes for ever.
To speed up homing, we now make the first approach faster, get a guess about our position,
back up a bit and make a second slower approach to get a exact result without losing steps.
What we do in double touch probing is the same. But the difference here is:
a. we already know where we are
b. if the first approach is to fast we will lose steps here to.
But this time there is no second approach to set the position to 0. We are measuring only.
The lost steps are permanent until we home the next time.
So if you experienced permanently rising values in M48 you now know why. (Too fast, suddenly stopped, first approach)
What can we do to improve probing?
We can use the information about our current position.
We can make a really fast, but deaccelerated, move to a place we know it is a bit before the trigger point.
And then move the rest of the way really slow.
Unify run_z_probe
Add double touch for DELTAs.

defaulting to homing_feedrate_mm_m[Z_AXIS] and homing_feedrate_mm_m[Z_AXIS]/2
This is an update of MarlinDev PR #196.
G20/21: support for switching input units between millimeters and
inches.
M149: support for changing input temperature units.
In support of these changes, code_value() and code_value_short() are
replaced with an array of functions which handle converting to the
proper types and/or units.

Aim: Test probes in update_endstops only when activated
Changes:
Configurations
Add define for FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE to handle the situation where formerly ENDSTOPS_ONLY_FOR_HOMING had to be set, or lowering the nozzle below Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER could give an "endstop hit" message.
Add define for Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN to indicate a common situation, that we have a probe but it is connected to an endstop pin
Add some comments
Shift some entries to have related things together.
Conditionals.h
We have a probe (HAS_Z_MIN_PROBE) if one of the pins is defined AND one of the probes is defined.
SanityCheck.h
Add some tests if the probe is connected and if we have defined a probe.
stepper.cpp
Changes to test the probe only when it is deployed (z_probe_is_active).
Test update_endstops() when the probe is deployed.
MarlinMain.cpp
a. set and reset z_probe_is_active in deploy_z_probe(), stow_z_probe() and dock_sled()
b. set and reset z_probe_is_active in the case a z-servo is moved to a defined position. The only remaining unhandled servo move is in M280 where we do not end in a defined position. If you want to handle a probe use M401/402
c. skip deploying/stowing when already deployed/stowed in the dedicated deploy/stow functions.
d. Handle the new FIX_MOUNTED_PROBE in parallel to a servo driven probe/endstop.
To do: In another PR. handle all probes in deploy/stow_z_probe.
Sort out SERVO_LEVELING vs. HAS_SERVO_ENDSTOPS.
If Marlin is blocking the serial input or command queue for any length
of time (for example more than 2 seconds), it needs to send a message
to serial out to inform the host that it is busy. Marlin should only
send these messages out when busy, and preferably not when trying to
print formatted output.
rebased
corrected spelling
changed to #elif for error
Still with MIN_Z_HEIGHT_FOR_HOMING but con be done with (folder wide) search-replace when we have a better name.
Renamed `WARN_REDUCED_ACCURACY` to `DISABLE_REDUCED_ACCURACY_WARNING`
Changed the condition for blinking from
```
#if ENABLED(WARN_REDUCED_ACCURACY)
```
to
```
#if DISABLED(DISABLE_REDUCED_ACCURACY_WARNING)
```
Replaced displaying "---" instead of the value of a coordinate when
unhomed or with reduced precision
with blinking the coordinate-prefix-character ('X','Y','Z').
For "unhomed" a '?' is shown every second second - until that axis is
homed. The value displayed is, as before the "---" where displayed, the
relative to the reset position coordinate value.
When the axis stepper was disabled, now we can display a hint on that,
by showing a blinking ' ' instead of the axis letter, when
WARN_REDUCED_ACCURACY is defined.
I suppose the code itself is here the better documentation.
A '+/-' character is in non of our charsets so i decided for a '?' for
now to reduce the work.
There is no additional space on the displays one could use to display
the information, so replacing something is the only option. As the axis
letters are totally redundant with their positions on the display they
contain the least information.
So my decision was to overwrite them.
Make stepper shutdown after inactivity dependent on a new set of
#defines.
DISABLE_INACTIV_X
DISABLE_INACTIV_Y
DISABLE_INACTIV_Z
DISABLE_INACTIV_E
And make exemplaric Configuration.
Names can be discussed.
This makes the disabling of the steppers independent from the DISABLE_?
settings witch shut down the steppers immediately.
Currently we use the probe exclusively as a device to find the build platform(bed).
For the currently supported setups this means, we use it as a additional min-endstop.
A triggered when not deployed probe disturbs the homing process for max-endstops.
Rename ENDSTOPPULLUP_ZPROBE to ENDSTOPPULLUP_ZMIN_PROBE
Rename Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING to Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING
Rename Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP to Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP
Rename DISABLE_Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP to DISABLE_Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP
Rename Z_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST to Z_MIN_PROBE_REPEATABILITY_TEST
Rename Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP to Z_MIN_PROBE_ENDSTOP
Adjust comments accordingly
Remove Z_MAX check for the probe in update_endstops().
Using an delta related idea of @clefranc from #61,
extended to the general change for all setups.
Tested with Prusa i3, max-z-endstop and permanently triggered z-probe.
Worked for @clefranc's delta.
- `SD_DETECT_PIN` replaces `SDCARDDETECT`
- `SD_DETECT_INVERTED` replaces `SDCARDDETECTINVERTED`
- Revise the description of `SD_DETECT_INVERTED`
- Add a note about the override of `SD_DETECT_INVERTED` in
`Conditionals.h`
A speaker needs a AC or a pulsed DC to make a sound, a buzzer only needs a DC.
A buzzer has it's own resonator. It works in most cases to feed the buzzer with a pulsed DC, but the sound will not be as loud as with pure DC.
There seem to be boards where the BEEPER-pin is not able to handle a PWM. Obviously intended for a buzzer.
To make these board able to handle a speaker
* replace the PWM based tone()-function again with a on-delay-off-delay loop.
Hopefully the last time I touch the beeper code.
Just set up the pin. Don't move to a random position.
Simplify servo::move()
* servo::move() does not need the pin parameter - The pin is set during servo_init() with attach().
* servo::move() does not need a return value.
SERVO_LEVELING is the wrong condition to deactivate the servos.
Remove some temporary (Servo *) variables.
SanityCheck for the servo indexes.
by replacing the sequences (attach, write, delay, detach), and their conditions with the new function in Marlin.main.cpp
and removing the old configuration in the ABL part of Configuration.h
#defining something just to define something else doesn’t
make sense
If you want SDCARDDETECTINVERTED, just define it yourself.
If the previous code was intended to define, undefined and then again define the term, that code is improper.
My PID_INTEGRAL_DRIVE_MAX was at 96, which was insufficient for my bed
to reach its intended temperature. The head requires a low maximum power since
I run on 24 volts and it has a somewhat low thermal mass.
Moved SDCARDDETECTINVERTED and SDSLOW to Conditionals.h.
Added U8GLIB_LM6059_AF to define display specific actions.
Added reminder to compile in u8glib
- Make thermal protection for all hotends and/or bed into simple
switches
- Now enable `WATCH_TEMP_PERIOD` when `THERMAL_PROTECTION_HOTENDS` is
enabled
- Move detailed thermal parameters to `Configuration_adv.h`
- Add sanity checks to warn about old configurations
- Change `WATCH_TEMP_PERIOD` to seconds instead of milliseconds
Edited the European part of 'ISO10646_CN.fon' to match the existing fonts.
Added Chinese font to make_fonts.bat
Created 'dogm_font_data_ISO10646_CN.h'
Added Chinese to 'language.h'
Added 'language_cn.h' with some minor edits.
Added Chinese font in 'language_en.h' to not fall back to European font.
Added cn to 'Configuration.h'
Changed WIDTH to LCD_PIXEL_WIDTH and HEIGHT to LCD_PIXEL_HEIGHT to have more descriptive names.
In 'dogm_lcd_implementation.h'
Added Chinese Font
Made 1 pixel more room for the larger Chinese font on the status line.
Changed geometry of the 'select bar' by one pixel.
Changed the way the position for values and postcars are set.
Centralised beep code to lcd_buzz().
From gcode_M300() and lcd_quick_feedback().
Enforced max. duration for M300 to 5 seconds.
Corrected description in 'Configuration.h'
LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_HZ 0 gives now a silent delay of
LCD_FEEDBACK_FREQUENCY_DURATION_MS.
Updated documentation in Configuration.h.
Cleaned up and commented some code relating to Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP.
Separated Z_MIN_ENDSTOP and Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP completely.
- Add `Conditionals.h` with calculated configuration values
- Add `SanityCheck.h` with checks for configuration errors
- Remove equivalent code from all configurations
- Move error checks from some sources to `SanityCheck.h` also
- Fix initialization of count_direction in stepper.cpp
Conflicts:
Marlin/dogm_lcd_implementation.h
Marlin/fonts/make_fonts.bat
Claerd conflicts with my own #1621. (His was easy. :-) )
corrected typo in fonts/README.fonts
Applied changes to the new delta-configurations
and deletet there some extra whitespace at the line-endings.
Added option to set Travel Acceleration (non printing moves).
The M204 options was a non sense (S for printing moves and T for retract
moves).
It has been changed to:
P = Printing moves
R = Retract only (no X, Y, Z) moves
T = Travel (non
printing) moves
I will add this info o G-Code wiki in reprap.org. I also advise to put
this info in Marlin next version changelog.
With this change a mechanical or optical switch may be used to check the
availability of the filament and when the filament runs out an M600
(filament change) command is issued. This is only done while printing
with an SD card.
This feature was requested several times (issue #679), but the requests
were not accepted since it was believed that this situation should be
handled at host side. However during an SD print the control is totally
on firmware and I think that during an SD print it should be handled by
the firmware.
The original code was posted at reprap forum
(http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?1,297350) by Lazymonk. I have only
corrected some bugs of the code and improved it by adding definitions to
the configuration.h in order to make it more standardized.
- Moved sanity-checks to Marlin_main.cpp
- Applied to other configuration files
- Fixed formatting of ABL output
- Passing verbose level to probe_pt
- Miscellaneous cleanup
- Put CONFIG_STEPPERS_TOSHIBA into Configuration.h
Am I the only one who always need to change the thermistortable.h to add
a dummy table??
Ok, it is done. Just set the thermistor to 999 and it will always read
25C. Great for Testing or Development purposes.
Looks like INVERT_E3_DIR was missing in the configuration.h also as I
did a test compile with 4 extruders and Azteeg X3 Pro defined. So I also
added those lines too. Additional formatting to make the comments line
up better in that section.
I've insert the define and pointer entries for the Viki 2 and miniViki
from Panucatt in all of the example configs and main config. With these
additions and with pins done in the old single pin.h style...I was able
to get the display working fine save for needing to turn Delta Segments
per Second down. But that's a common graphics lcd issue being looked
into right now.
I need assistance in understanding how the new divided pins files fit
together because my previous attempts at trying to get it to work
appropriately didn't seem successful. This originally came from trying
to find out how to swap the XYZ Min and Max Endstop pins in the Azteeg
X3 Pro. It only comes with one set of connectors and they're Min
Endstops. My previous experience didn't turn out well trying to tell the
firmware to home to the Min Endstops so the best solution I found was to
swap the pins in the firmware. If I'm missing a conflict with a setup
other than delta please let me know, but it makes sense in my setup.
