Wipe Controller Position & Settings

Release: >0.918

Description

This function sends a command to the controller to reinitialize the positional data and the firmware settings.

Process

The process for wiping the controller positional data (i.e., chain lengths) and settings (based upon current stock firmware as of 11/27/19) is as follows:

  • A special gcode command ($RST=#) is sent to the controller
  • Controller writes a 0 value to EEPROM bytes associated with the positional data and the settings storage area.
  • Controller will reset after completed.

New to 0.918

  • WebControl will wait for two seconds and then send a settings sync command ($$) to resend WebControl’s settings to the controller.
  • WebControl will send a command to the controller (B04) to set the chain lengths equal to the ‘Extend Chain Distance’ in Advanced Settings
