New Features

This page documents new features that were added to Smoothie in 2013.

2013/04

Added native HBot support to edge. Set to “hbot” in your config to enable.
Added FirmConfigSource to edge. Now src/config.default gets compiled into the rom and read at each boot. The src/config.default file uses the same format as a normal sd config file.
Added to edge. This provides a segmentation based on the current feedrate and speed override, where the number of segments is inversely proportional to feedrate.
The config file on the sd card can now be named either config or config.txt.

reset and dfu commands added to SimpleShell.
Added support for onboot.gcode to run automatically at power up by setting Not supported in v2 to true in config. The name of the file to be run can also be changed by setting Not supported in v2.
Added button, which in a sense is the other half of the Switch module. This module will trigger custom m-codes when a pin is toggled. The combination of Button and Switch modules allows for ‘programming’ of basic behaviors with only simple config changes. An example would be a physical button that turns a fan, heater, or other tool on and off.
Added break command to enter debug mode from command line.
Added rotatable_cartesian arm solution which allows the print bed to be rotated arbitrarily. Setting this arm solution to 45deg is one way of making an h-bot print straight, but it wouldn’t have working endstops.
Added per axis homing direction config option.
Added initial Rostock support!
Now to enable the second usb serial port set to true in config.
Added progress, abort, and help commands to SimpleShell.
