Again, he was unnecessarily changed because of a little nonsense. I don’t have time for this right now to edit icons unnecessarily again. I'm lying in bed. I caught the covid. Solve the stupidity. I'm getting out! You have to vary something with the icons and the menu every month. Do what you want. Hi!

I wish you the best! I hope you will have a fast recovery. And I hope you will get rid of all the covid symptoms (or how to call it...) I still have the problem that I'm quickly tired and trying to hurry on my bike is even worse ...

"Remove some items from the Feature settings menu, which should only be configured through the config file."

Touchme, invert axis and some more. So, pretty useless to configure easily trough the settings menu.

Take a look in the changed files.

Patch tested.
You're right, now the M218 is working.
I misunderstood the principle of analyzing the interfaceCmd.c file
You have a little typo in the description

The E axis is still not correct in the set step length (M92)

The different behavior is if I enter an integer or decimal with one, two, or 3 decimal places

interfaceCmd.c uses the X_AXIS variable
and
parseACK.c uses the X_STEPPER variable
It's good?

@guruathwal

@radek8 Line 527 should be cmd_float();. both _AXIS and _STEPPER are same thing with _STEPPER having extra E2_STEPPER

I would also optimize the parseAck moving on top of the "if then else" sequence all the periodically/frequently requested received status such as "FR", "Flow" etc.. and the prompt messages that could be received during a print such as "paused for user", "//action:" etc.. They are currently provided at the bottom so, they will match after performing hundreads of previous "if then else". The list must be arranged in order to have to most frequently used patterns on top and the least on the bottom (such as Capabilities and machine settings that are normally requested once at startup or in general when not printing)

Hi
I found another problem with loading the Linear Advance parameter, for 2 extruders
After switching on, a zero value is always read, even though there is a valid value in eeprom. After editing, it will display well until the restart.
The problem is therefore in ParseACK.c
IntefaceCmd.c is fine.
It was loading properly after the restart before your intervention.
Don't want to revert to the original syntax?

I think these are better to stay in the feature menu:
label_default_mode:Default Mode
label_fil_runout_inverting:Inverted Filament Runout Logic

May be necessary to put some common settings and non-common settings in different lists ?
for example

->0. Frequently-used settings
        ->1. Common settings
                ->2. File list mode
                ->2. filament sensor
->0. Not frequently-used settings
->0. System settings

The advantage of this is that users need not use SD to plug in the computer to modify the settings, and almost all the settings can be modified on the screen directly.
The disadvantage is that these label strings will take up a lot of memory flash

Based on which user/configuration will be defined what is common and what not? For me and just for me maybe, it is better to have a long list of settings but all of them available and at the same place than settings in different places based on more or less clear rules.

I think it's a good idea.
A long list would be annoying. but I still want to have all the configuration options
If the "non frequently" and "system" menus could be hidden by the user, it would cater to users who configure printers for less experienced users and want to hide these options.

Currently, there are 93 parameters that are not displayed in settings menus and most of them have at least 2-3 sub-parameters. even if half of these are selected to be added in the settings menus total entries will be close to 200. Category wise list or as a single list, it will be a long list.
The core reason for the problem is the lack of proper documentation/guide for providing details of available feature and settings.
