Devblog 4

I added 13 different color themes to the display! (It is not fully finished yet, I still need to add a selection menu). Now you can customize the colors to something else if you prefer it from the default colors! Also made the filament drying menu. And fixed quite a bit of bugs that i found while making the changes

Changes since last devblog:

  • Added a safety feature, preventing you from starting if the temperature sensor initialization fails
  • Added a menu that displays the current statistics while drying filament
  • Added 13 color themes
  • Updated the UI code to be a lot more variable controlled, instead of hard coded

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed some of the buttons flickering when selecting or unselecting
  • Fixed the remaining drying time :
    • Made it go down instead of changing randomally
    • Fixed an issue where it would pass by in slow motion instead of pausing

And probably some other bugs i forgot about…

Future changes / things i plan to add:

  • Add a menu for selecting the color theme
  • Add an option to anneal 3d print (this will probably only slightly help with PLA, since the temperature required for other materials is way higher)
  • Make a PCB (?)!
    The features of this project are probably mostly in place now, so this seems like a good next step. I may also keep the 3D printable PCB (see Devblog 2) as an alternative in case you cannot get a PCB manufactured

(I selected a different theme for each picture)
