ADVi3++ Version 3.0.0

IMPORTANT: If you need support, do not create issues or comments here. I will delete them. Ask support questions on Facebook ADVi3++ page or on Patreon.

Compatibility

This release is ONLY compatible with Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus (version 1) printers and their clones. Version 2 (aka Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus Mark II) will be supported in a future release.

Installation notes

• You have to upgrade both the Mainboard firmware and the LCD.
• Use ADVi3pp-Mainboard-3.0.0.hex if you do not have a BLTouch sensor.
• Use ADVi3pp-BLTouch-Mainboard-3.0.0.hex if you have a BLTouch sensor.
• If you have changed EEPROM values (such as maximum acceleration, etc), you may have to reenter them and redo the tunings
• And up to date User Manual is available

BLTouch support

• Supports both Classic and Smart BLTouch sensors. Clones are not (and will not be) supported. You can find complete instructions in the User Manual.

New features

• BLTouch support (Classic and Smart). Clones of BLTouch are not supported (and I recommend to avoid them)
• [#8], [#18]: M600 support and head parking
• Pause, Resume and Stop when printing from USB
• Z-height in status (near the fan speed, in green)
• Display messages on Home screen
• Thermal Runaway enhancements: Now displays why the printer was stopped. You can also choose to disable thermal protection. At your own risk. I recommend to let it on.
• USB baudrate: you can now choose the baud rate. It is 115200 by default (like in the previous versions)
• Buzzer control: You can now disable or enable the buzzer from the LCD panel. The buzzer is now off by default when you press the screen, but does but for some actions (load and unload for example).
• Screen Dimming control: You can now disable or enable the dimming of the LCD panel and choose its intensity.
• #82: Change slightly colors for a better contrast
• #102: Declare thermal protection capability
• #103: In settings stored in EEPROM are not compatible, warn the user and reset settings to factory

Bug fixes

• #15: Will not x-home if you cancel a print and then restart. Very annoying but not easy to fix
• [#84]: SD Card (Print menu): Directories are displayed like if they were files
• #37, #97, #118: Filament loading/unloading stops when requested
• 121 Manual moves (X, Y and Z) are now smother

ADVi3++ version 2.1.0

Compatibility

This release is ONLY compatible with Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus (version 1) printers and their clones. Version 2 (aka Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plu Mark II) will be supported in a future release.

Installation notes

• You have to upgrade both the Mainboard firmware and the LCD.
• If you have changed EEPROM values (such as maximum acceleration, etc), you may have to reenter them (them may have been reset)
• See the User Manual for installation instructions.

• Align with Marlin 1.1.8
• Upgrade atmelavr to 1.8.1
• Upgrade PlatformIO to 3.5.0
• #34: Change maximum temperatures to 280°C and 150°C. Be careful if you use high temperatures, it is at your own risk.
• #40: Change default acceleration speeds to 1000 and default jerk to 8

Bug fixes

• Increment values (XYZ Calibaration cube, ...) by 0.1 (was 0.5)

ADVi3++ version 2.0.1

Bug fixes

• #35: Bed and Hotend colors and icons were inverted.
• #33: In Print Settings, it was not possible to go higher than 100% (print speed)

Installation notes

You have to flash both LCD and motherboard. I recommend to flash LCD first. See the User Manual for installation instructions.

ADVi3++ version 2.0.0

New features

• Access on the LCD display to more printer parameters like Feedrate, Acceleration and Jerk settings
• Calibration of the X, Y, and Z motors and of the extruder
• Temperature graphs with thicker lines
• 5 points manual bed leveling
• Display of messages (M117 code) from external software such as OctoPrint (Detailed Progress plugin for example)
• New default settings (taken from Wanhao old sources)
• Up to date User Manual

Bug fix

• #15 Will not x-home if you cancel a print and then restart
