SnapmakerController-IDEX is the firmware for Snapmaker IDEX Printers. It's based on the popular Marlin firmware with optimized FreeRTOS support.
SnapmakerController-IDEX builds on the codebase of Marlin 2.0.9.1, we also added some new features:
Vibration compensation with input shapper, support many types of shappers:
Smoothed look-ahead (refer to klipper).
Corner velocity settings (refer to klipper).
Snapmaker specific functions like calibrations for Z offset and XY offset.
Quickly switching toolhead.
HMI (Touch Screen) communication over SACP.
As of recommended in Marlin's development settings, we use Visual Studio Code and PlatformIO IDE to develop Snapmaker2-Controller.
Follow Setting up Visual Studio Code to install and setup VSCode.
Follow the guide to install PlatformIO extension in VSCode.
Clone SnapmakerController-IDEX repo using Git to your local folder.
> git clone git@https://github.com/Snapmaker/SnapmakerController-IDEX.git
J1_BUILD_VERSION
or your changes will not be loaded when flashing the firmware.NOTE: if you build the source for first time, PlatformIO will download the relative libraries and toochains. It may take a few minutes.
After PlatformIO finishing the build, you will get two images:
(PROJECT FOLDER)/.pioenvs/GD32F105/firmware.bin
: image to be programmed into main controller(PROJECT FOLDER)/.pioenvs/GD32F105/firmware.elf
: image used to debug the firmware (in online debug tools like Ozone) To clean previous build, just click the clean icon, or type command pio run -t clean in the terminal.
After building, type below command in VSCode terminal
> pio run -t pack
Then you will get below firmwares in the folder (PROJECT FOLDER)/release
:
J1_MC_APP_{xxx such as V2.2.2}_{xxx such as 20201222}.bin
: minor image of controller, can be used to generate major imageJ1_{xxx: version such as V2.2.2}_{xxx: date such as 20201222}.bin
: major image which can be used to upgrade modules with USB stickFinally, copy the major image to your USB stick and upgrade your machine follow the instructions in How to update Firmware section.
