Includes the latest enclosure models for 3D printing. Two version are available, a simple that that uses self tapping threads and a more involved one that uses heat set metal threaded inserts. Both use the same M2.5 x 10 hex cup screws.

The small jig is used to trim the stepper motor connector pins to 1mm in length to have a flat surface on the TFT side of the PCB.

  2. Download the .uf2 file of this release into that disk drive. This concludes the firmware update.

In this release:

  1. Speed Gauge, Steps Charts and Retraction screens now sample their data using a hardware timebase rather relying on a software timer. This makes them insensitive to screen rendering latencies.
  2. Sped up the screen update by using DMA and dual rendering buffer.
  3. Reduced power up to first screen time.
  4. Added minor division lines to the Current Patterns and the Phase Patterns screens.
  5. Minor code cleanups.
