Releases · Defdist/DDCut

Introduced M102 command to perform arbitrary WCS math
Provided manual firmware upload functionality
Show estimated % completion when running a file via manual operation
Display name of current file and job in the DDCut run window
Add "change job" button to DDCut run window
Closing manual operations window while a file is running should give a warning and, if the user wants to close, should stop the code
Write current DDCut version, FW version, etc. to DDCut log on startup
Allow .dd file author to add "WCS value check" and display a popup if the check fails

Bug Fixes

Corrected wording in ALARM4 / ALARM5
Ensure that DDCut does not reject '%' or 'T' commands
Fixed being unable to click "prev" button to go from second to first step
Fixed alarm triggered by manual operations while .dd window is open not clearing
Restored doubleclick functionality to open .dd file (still not fully working in all cases)

NOTICE: in prepping this release we found that 32M1 firmware upload functionality does not work on Mac OSX 10.15 and beyond. This appears to be related to an underlying problem with the OS itself. Given the very low rate of DDCut usage on Mac we are releasing with Mac firmware update functionality disabled. Upon resolving this problem a new release will be pushed.

Bug Fixes

Changed WCS clearing method when starting a .dd file.
- Previous method cleared out all offsets by sending command "RST=#".
- This caused issues with existing projects that may require certain offset registers to be carried over between jobs.
- The new behavior individually clears out registers 54 - 58 with separate G10 commands, setting them to {0, 0, 0}.
- Registers that are already zeroed out will be skipped to save unnecessary EEPROM writes.
- G59 will be preserved with the presumption that it may be used specifically to transfer a WCS offset between jobs.
- Other offsets will also be preserved (G28 & G30).
Fixed Spurious E-Stop Error
- Fixed an error where a recent change in the manual operations window behavior caused the program to incorrectly infer an E-Stop had been triggered after entering an alarm state in manual operations mode.
- The program will now ignore E-Stops and unresponsiveness from the machine while in manual operations mode.
- It is presumed that users of manual operations mode have an understanding advanced enough to deduce any issues themselves.
- A hardware E-Stop in manual operations mode will not trigger any notification to the user with this new behavior.
- Once the manual operations window is closed, normal behavior will resume and a popup will warn of an E-Stop, even if it is already engaged when leaving manual operations mode.
- If the machine is locked instead from an alarm, the program will reset itself in order to recover once the manual operations window is closed.

v5.2.0

5.2.0 Pre-release

Pre-release

DD Project Changes

Maintain whichever tab user is on when progressing through steps (Image/GCode)
Switch to GCode on GCode step only after user begins to execute code
Record GCode for GCode window even if it is not visible/open
Treat all errors in .dd files as fatal
Create popup to clear WCS values on starting .dd file (manifest option will disable popup)
G59 becomes a special register – it is ignored automatically when checking for stale WCS values
Add feed hold/resume buttons to step execution
Recover state after failed probing attempt
Display feedrate slider on every step of .dd file, not just code steps
Improve .dd file double-click response on Mac. Double-click on .dd file on Mac opens DD Cut. While DD Cut is open, double-click opens the file. (We don't yet have the two together in one operation.)
Allow auto-recovery in probing alarm (ALARM4 / ALARM5)
Tweaks to sending reset commands (0x18)

YAML Manifest File Improvements

Support sub-manifests
Add manifest option for DD Cut version check – popup on failure notifies user of issue
Add minimum firmware check option to manifest files
Include additional files and extract extra files from .dd project

Manual Entry Window Improvements

User can send manual commands while machine is moving (executing a long move in manual entry mode)
Support ~ and ! in manual entry window (including during a move)
Manual entry window supports sending GCode programs as a batch (no need to build a whole .dd file to run a GCode program)
Fix auto-scrolling of machine output window on manual entry window
Save command history in manual entry window (navigate prior commands with up/down arrow key similar to Power Shell)
Allow "all files" when selecting a gcode file in manual entry

Miscellaneous

Support page layout change
LEGIO signup available in app
Experimental Contour Map feature – adjusts GCode on the fly to account for sloped surface
Ensure M-commands (M100, M101, etc.) get recorded in logs
Require email and name when submitting support ticket
Pass firmware version in support ticket message
Fix problem where software requires restart after updating firmware
Write a log when we get a timeout
