RepRapFirmware 1.16 released
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 5:33 pm
I have released RRF 1.16 at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/tree/dev/Release. Highlights of this release are:
- Support for the DueX2 and DueX5 expansion boards
- Support for up to 3 additional axes, which can be used to support multiple independent X carriages on Cartesian machines
- Support for controlling servos on unused expansion heater channels
Of posible interest to delta printer owners may be the extension of delta auto calibration to include bed tilt parameters as well as the 7 parameters previously supported. In practice, you need to probe well outside the triangle formed by the towers for this to make a difference. Otherwise a tilted bed looks the same as a combination of towers not in a perfect triangle and endstop switches badly set up, as far as bed probing can tell.
For a full list of changes see https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/ ... /WHATS_NEW.
