Filament runout behavior changes to "filament runout" screen, then asks user to load new filament -> not intuitive #91

Closed Sebazzz closed 3 years ago

Sebazzz commented 3 years ago

Description

When filament runs out, the printer does an audible alert and unloads filament. But between this, it shows the filament runout screen.

Steps to Reproduce

If this is a Bug Report, please describe the steps needed to reproduce the issue

  1. Start print
  2. Snip filament or at least remove it from the sensor
  3. "filament runout" shows, after which M600 takes effect

Expected behavior:

We need to think how to handle this. Perhaps the "filament runout" screen should simply show a "dismiss" button.

Actual behavior:

First this screen shows: image

Next we have an audible alert and then this shows:

image

Then you can reload filament, press "continue".

Momentarily the filament runout screen shows, then the print continues as expected.

@grobux Can you change the label of "Heating" to "Continue" in the filament runout screen (screen 34). We have no formal API for detecting filament present after runout, so we cannot use screen 35.

This has now been resolved, somewhat.

Now the normal filament load procedure will take place as described here: https://damsteen.nl/blog/2020/12/26/how-to-do-filament-change-with-cr6-community-firmware-release-5
