Thank you both Robert and Doug. I have determined a few more things:
- I was in fact running an old version of TFT Firmware posted by Kurt back in Oct 2020
IF anyone wants to check out my CNC only TFT 3.5 E3 firmware I've been playing with
There was no source. I really liked his Icon layout as it was much nicer for CNC work. It also had easy buttons to zero X, Y, or Z based on current location, etc…
- I pulled the latest V1 rollup for BTT_TFT code, and I removed the “P1” from the M25 segment of code and recompiled. While it did return the gantry to Home on Pause, it did perform a significant raise on the Z axis first.
GOOD AND BAD: This seems to confirm another user experience pasted in this thread, BUT it still does not perform the desired Marlin ‘Pause’ behavior of just pausing in place. I believe this test also confirms (in a different manner) Robert’s finding that this home-docking behavior on Pause must be coming from somewhere else in then TFT codebase…
Current status:
I will continue trying to track this done to the best of my ability- it would be nice for a Pause to Pause.
I am curious how/why others haven’t gone done this path to tailor the current TFT code base to have a CNC specific Menu. Not even having buttons for Zero X, Y or Z combined with the 3DPrinter related clutter seems like strong motivators in my mind, even if folks are using repiterHost, etc. to generally print from… perhaps this last point is the main reason, but having a simple SD-card Print functionality seems core as one of the other posts above highlighted… Just a thought and curious if my perspective is skewed. Thanks.
