From 40b6edcad70396f2a94b993b85ad3301745fd5d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AnHardt Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2015 23:36:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Introduce DEACTIVATE_SERVOS_AFTER_MOVE in Configuration.h DEACTIVATE_SERVOS_AFTER_MOVE is ought to replace PROBE_SERVO_DEACTIVATION_DELAY. But it will work on all servo moves, not only the probe servo moves. --- Marlin/Configuration.h | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/Marlin/Configuration.h b/Marlin/Configuration.h index 85865226a3..b574c47996 100644 --- a/Marlin/Configuration.h +++ b/Marlin/Configuration.h @@ -774,6 +774,17 @@ const bool Z_PROBE_ENDSTOP_INVERTING = false; // set to true to invert the logic // //#define NUM_SERVOS 3 // Servo index starts with 0 for M280 command +// If DEACTIVATE_SERVOS_AFTER_MOVE is defined, the servos will be turned on only during movement and then turned off to avoid jitter +// SERVO_DEACTIVATION_DELAY is the delay to turn the servo off after powered on - depends on the servo speed; 300ms is good value, but you can try lower it. +// If your servo does not reach the requested position, enlarge the time. +// You MUST HAVE the SERVO_ENDSTOPS defined to use here a value higher than zero otherwise your code will not compile. +// +#define DEACTIVATE_SERVOS_AFTER_MOVE + +#ifdef DEACTIVATE_SERVOS_AFTER_MOVE + #define SERVO_DEACTIVATION_DELAY 300 +#endif + // Servo Endstops // // This allows for servo actuated endstops, primary usage is for the Z Axis to eliminate calibration or bed height changes.
