As the title said, I tried to update my firmware but unfortunately I don't understand anything to thin new system. Can someone do the conversion from my old 1.0.4 config.h into the new V2 format please ?
Use the sample implementation in dualx/stacker x2 to get started. That is a normal dual x implementation.
What is with the laser? Do you have one extruder plus laser so 2 tools on one side? That wasn't tested or implemented at the moment. Structures to implement that are already basically there so should be solvable quite easy.
So left side extruder and right side laser? The 2 extruders on one side would be a problem at the moment. Also with single nozzle not a big one I think. But would need to map tools to axis somehow. We can tweak the code and then you can test it if you go the way. Was planned anyhow just I don't have a testing printer with such problems. Maybe I can also test with a single extruder just faking two.
describes quite detailed each config option and the config basics. I know it is a different approach and needs a different thinking but once you understand the concept it should be quite easy and offer a lot more possibilities then V1.
ETA for the V2? I've the impression that the development of the new version is rather slow. When will a configurator be available to start testing without having to manually edit the config? Marlin V2 has already been released, MK4duo has been running down on 32-bit boards for years, but Repetier has lagged far behind.
Actually we are making good progress. Just the fact the there is no online config tool does not mean it is not working. I plan rumba32 support soon and also improvements for delta. Hopefully in january. Also plan AVR support to implement as one of next steps and then see how new system works.
Regarding speed, the others are not having as many other projects I guess that also take a lot of time. But we are working on it. And when more people would help with the project it would also speed up:-)
Ok looks they are outdated a bit to new macros. Will update them when I test my delta again. You find the current variables required any time in the documentation which I keep up to date with each update.
RAMPS layer for V2 is not finished yet, but then it would be the better choice supporting hardware PWM so you can control laser intensity. In V1 it is only on/off and movement speed. You find it on our github repository if you switch to the dev2 branch.

Is a sample how it would look now with extra 2 params.
