As I have mentioned previously, I suspect the firmware is (or will be largely based on) this fork: GitHub - 747lulu747/Snapmaker2-Controller at InputShaperHS. A couple of days ago I took a leap of faith and started using this firmware (I needed to modify firmware but didn’t want to lose vibration compensation). It’s running very well so far.
If you’re like me and you really don’t want to wait, you can give it a try (at your own risk… ).
My purpose is to sell products manufactured using 3D printing and laser technology. It is not for research purposes, so I want to install stable software for operation.
Lol, unfortunately, nobody can guarantee here anything. Your next firmware update will have some new bugs in it and undocumented changes.
Mayco suggestion is as good as a firmware release from snapmaker.
We were planning to release it today, but happened to discover a small bug, which we’re currently working to resolve. As a result, the release will be postponed until next week. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Something related to the mainboard, as far as I know. Not a serious one and will be resolved soon. Once it is released, I will update the download link and changelog in this thread.
Did someone ask for firmware guarantees? LOL.
Anyway, putting that aside…
I think I will wait and observe for a while before implementing the vibration firmware, even after its official release. As I mentioned before, it is a means of manufacturing and sales, so we cannot take the risk of halting production. I have high expectations for the vibration firmware as it is intended to increase productivity.
@Riskey - how long will you be gathering feedback before including this into the main branch?
Is there a firmware version number planned, that is expected to accept new tech?
The estimated timeline for the stable version release on the forum is mid-July 2023. After that, we will merge the vibration compensation firmware version with the existing one and push it to all Snapmaker 2.0 machines via WiFi in August 2023.
It will take about three weeks for the test regarding the merge of these two versions.
Please note that this timeline has been delayed compared to the original plan. We will release the firmware that is compatible with the Quick Swap feature by the end of June. To avoid possible issues, it won’t add the vibration compensation feature.
I don’t understand the function of the Quick Swap-compatible firmware. With Quick Swap installed, can the vibration compensation firmware still be used? If there is a risk of hardware damage, it should be disclosed.
There is no conflict between the quick swap and vibration compensation.
What I mean is that releasing firmware that supports the quick swap is now considered the highest priority internally. Therefore, to ensure the release of this firmware arrives on time, we will slightly postpone integrating the vibration compensation feature into the mainline firmware.
When Quick Swap is installed, the working area on the Y-axis is reduced by approximately 15mm. Does the Quick Swap-compatible firmware shift the origin position on the Y-axis?
