Formal release of Refactored Touchscreen Firmware at 61F_220622_v1 #89

Closed Thinkersbluff closed 2 years ago

Thinkersbluff commented 2 years ago

This is the first formal release of the refactored CR6Community Touchscreen Firmware.
This version is considered stable and fully compatible with the CR6Community Motherboard Firmware at release 6.1, and it supercedes all of the Release Candidates previously released on this repository.

This DWIN_SET is designated: 61F_220622_v1.

PLEASE READ THE README FILE BEFORE FLASHING THIS FIRMWARE TO YOUR PRINTER.

Flashing the DWIN_SET in this release installs a TouchScreen firmware that works with the CF6.1-Final motherboard firmware and runs on any version of DGUS2 (Kerning problems may appear in some early versions.)

If you have DGUS2 v4.5 flashed to your display, you should flash this DWIN_SET instead of the one bundled with the motherboard firmware. If you already have the CR6Community Firmware running on DGUS2 v3.5 on your printer, then you do not need to flash this firmware, but if you do, you will benefit from two additional features, but CR6-MAX users will lose one cosmetic feature:

NEW AT THIS RELEASE:

  1. The last captured thermistor temperature values have been added to the three thermal error screens, in an attempt to help isolate which of the two (nozzle or bed) thermistors has triggered the shutdown. (NOTE: Some errors result in a display of 0 degrees on both, which unfortunately limits the usefulness of this feature.)
  2. The Leveling Settings screen is now also accessible from the Setup menu.
  3. The colour scheme has been modified from the original black/grey/red scheme to a "Cyanotype" theme.
  4. Units have been added to a few fields.
  5. Small bugs found while testing this version were also corrected. (This time, for sure?)
  6. Added some more sample screenshots and clarified/updated the readme files.
  7. Added the screen bitmap files to the DWIN_SET folder - for reference and mark-up with issues only. The bitmaps will not interfere with flashing but can be safely deleted from there, if you prefer.

DEPRECATED AT THIS RELEASE:

  1. The ABL Mesh screen in this refactored firmware no longer includes the animated background icons, which used to turn each square from white to black, as the nozzle probed each point. (The method used to create that animation was not supported by the new tool.) CR6-MAX users will also notice that the small squares which represented the intermediate probing points are no longer displayed, as those were implemented with that same deprecated feature.
