HC32 Build for September (JyersUI) pt. 2

SEPTEMBER 2023

Continually updating with Marlin bugfix-2.1.x

What's new in this release

Version: 2.1.3e-HC32b

**Other chip versions of Latest Build Release linked here**

This firmware is based on MriscoC's Professional Firmware for the Creality Ender-3 V2/S1.

- For ProUI version go here.

- Use the regular Aquila build here if you do not have an HC32 chip.

To update the firmware, choose the file ending in .bin and place it in your SD card:

^{(You may need to rename the file if reinstalling or if it doesn't flash the first time)}

• Put it inside a folder named "firmware"
  ^{Or unless otherwise specified}

To use this version, you must* update the DWIN_SET to the LCD screen. New ICON's have been added, and others were remastered.

1. Choose a DWIN_SET from the "display assets" folder
2. Copy it to the root of an SD card
3. Remove the name in ( ) from the folder
   ^{e.g. "DWIN_SET (Original)" => "DWIN_SET"}
4. Open the back of the LCD, insert the card
5. Turn on power, wait until the screen goes Blue to Red
6. Turn off, remove card. Good to go!

* technically you don't have to reflash the new DWIN_SET, but if you do not some ICON's will be missing.

This is not the ProUI, but JyersUI. The menu is similar, but not the same regarding the special extra features. This is only due the issue with saving/store settings with the ProUI, and may just be temporary until that is fixed.

In other words: this Version of the Firmware will be almost exactly like Alex's but updated, and maybe a couple extra features not included in that release.

• Added support for the Aquila X3 (inductive proximity sensor bed probe)
• Rearranged ICON's, added new ones, remastered old ones.
• Allow arbitrary BLOCK_BUFFER_SIZE
• Avoid LCD messages starting with "Error:"
• Fixes for G2/G3 arcs
• Fixes for ProUI, build rename

• Add option to reset single mesh point to Zero
• Fix Mesh viewer, shows Green for Negative, Red for Positive
• Configurable SD card retry/timeout

• Fix UBL probe_entire_mesh skips points
• Option to report temperature on error
• More endstops refactoring
• STM32 support 9 UARTs
• Fix hotend idle timeout checks
• Fix runout extra length
• Revert M206 Home Offset behavior
• Always use ISR for BABYSTEPPING
• Ensure BLTouch deploy in HS Mode
• MString helper class
• Tramming Wizard starts a bit better
• Mesh insets now save after restarting
• Runout icon indicator over the Extruder flow dashboard icon
• Dashboard Speed percentage also flashes speed in mm/s intermittently
• Enhanced Gcode preview --- Preview QR code removed
• Improved 3D/BL/CR-Touch auto leveling
• Multiple Probing is now Extra Probing
• Improved UBL Mesh viewer
• Bed Tramming Wizard --- Find average or absolute values
• New C35 custom g-code to launch Bed Tramming Wizard
• Added toolbar option for parking head.
• Force axes home to allow parking at pause
• Raise Z when printing is aborted
• Fix a possible bug with filename drawing in printing page
• Fix Crash after removing SD card
• Added Creality Cloud Support
• Adjust encoder knob speed rates
• Fix stepper motor noise
• Several minor bug fixes and Misc. optimizations
• and many more fixes from latest Marlin's bugfix 2.1.x

Modifications in Source Code (for custom builds):

• TJC support to enable preview and grid mesh viewer
• Added Creality CV laser module support with automatic file type detection

Note 1: Due to lack of flash memory space in the Aquila's GD32/N32|F103RCT6 some features had to be disabled in the ProUI of UBL and BLT versions, including, but not limited to: TBA.

Note 2: The latest releases are promoting UBL versions over ABL (BLT - BL Touch), but ABL/BLT versions will be available. MPC autotune is available for the hot-end as a replacement to PID autotune.

How to install the firmware

This is a universal firmware that has been optimized and enhanced for both the Voxelab Aquila and Creality Ender 3 V2/S1. This firmware has also been developed to include support for HC32F460 chips (aka H32) which is included in some Aquila X2 and C2 models.
(However, it should be noted that it may not yet be fully available for "H32" labeled printers having the monochrome 12864 LCD screens).

This shows the two types of meshviewer as an example
The newer colorful one has a more rainbow like characteristic

Versions

• [ _Default-NP ]: Use if you have a near stock machine
^{Default No Probe}
• [ _MM ]: Create a bed mesh without an auto bed probe
^{Manual Mesh Bed Leveling}
• [ _BLT ]: Use if you have a CR/3D/BL-Touch level sensor installed.
^{Bilinear Auto Bed Leveling}
• [ _UBL ]: Similar to both MM and BLT - with more options and the ability to view the mesh
^{Unified Bed Leveling}

You can download the firmware's latest files from the Assets at the bottom of
the release page.

UBL Information

Binaries with UBL in their filename are similar to the bilinear leveling of BLT, but with extra features to provide users with more control and information. There are multiple guides about UBL, it's recommend reading about it before using this type of leveling system.

Special versions

These are the special configurations offered:

(List of file prefixes and suffixes)

• [ -ProUI ]
  | ProUI | (ProUI ENABLED)
  Toolbar, Gcode model preview, and other special features and options
• [ -NoPro ]
  | No ProUI | (ProUI DISABLED)
  Does not have features listed
• [ -IS ]
  | Input Shaping | Only if you have means to do the initial calibration
  (Requires a special breakout board)
• [ -MPC ]
  | MPC Autotune | (replaces PID for hotend)

*Reminder: Do not use `Input Shaping` (file ending with -IS) if you do not have the necessary devices for calibration. Prints will be effected.

Related Information

• All firmware version types have Linear Advance enabled
  Linear Advance - M900
• Input Shaping is enabled with files ending with "-IS"
  Input Shaping - M593
• MPC is enabled in firmware files containing "-MPC"
  Model Predictive Temperature Control
MPC has proven to be a better algorithm for keeping the nozzle temperature stable, and is also very useful for high power heaters. It does take some getting used to how it works if you are unfamiliar with it. It's recommended for advanced users, so stick to the default PID versions, especially if your printer is relatively stock
