    • When the controller is in idle state, the red LED will blink when opening the door.

    • When the controller is receiving a file, the yellow LED will blink.

  • Optimize the processing flow of exceptions:

    • If SD card is not detected or the specified file cannot be opened, the user will be prompted by buzzer and indicator.

    • When the controller recovers from the abnormal state, it will reset the system coordinates so that the toolhead will work from user’s expected position.

  • Optimize the button handling logic, now the button is only responsible for startup work:

    • Short press: try to start running boundary.

July 18 2024: Snapmaker Ray V1.7.4

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that Ray sometimes failed to identify the purifier.

    • For the old-version firmwares, when various modules such as purifier, emergency stop button, and rotary module were connected simultaneously, there was a probability that Ray would fail to identify the purifier.

  • Fixed a bug that 2W Infrared Laser Module would automatically emit upon initialization.

Improvement

  • When 2W Infrared Laser Module is in stand-by, the inner fan running at low speed will be turned off to reduce noise.
