DDCSV1.1 4 Axis controller
Benedikt:
I'm working on a new release of Pandora, based on the last suitable base version from 07/2019.
This time we can even change colors, add images and move controls. Any suggestions on how the UI needs to be improved?

Hapiness!

Hi Benedikt,
does you previous version - or will your next version - change any of the post processor requirements?
What are the general functional advantages of your versions compared to the factory version on a DDCSV2.1 with version 2019-11-3(112) firmware?

I'm currently fighting with a bug in the arc commands. I'm not sure if its g2 or g3 that's the culprit, but its sliding my layers...

Hi Joe,
it does not directly affect the post processor requirements. If the manufacturer changed it since 2018, then yes.
Generally, an on-device pre-processor could be implemented, but that is something I don't have time for unless it's for hire.
The primary advantages (to the end user) of my firmware is that it improves translation, fixes a few other bugs and allows using a keyboard or numpad to control the UI and adding a custom splash screen.
For more advanced users, it allows accessing the Linux running inside, writing custom GUIs and integrating other software.
I will probably look into networking again. Would be nice to get USB WiFi sticks working and to remote control the controller from a PC (also uploading files). Perhaps I may also improve the GUI a bit.
There are also other tools I, as well as other members, have developed that allow configuring the parameters online, easily updating the firmware without any technical knowledge, but also manipulating the flash memory, intercepting the commands to the motion coprocessor (the FPGA), sending data directly to the motion coprocessor from the command line, a new bootloader, among other tweaks.
Cheers,
Benedikt
