Menu freeze while Z is moving manual

[Massa0815]

Hi
I set up a newSmartrap wirth Marlin 1.1.0 RC6.

When i move Z axis manualy per "Prepare" menu it is not possible to change the position with the rotary knob while z is moving. I have to wait until Z stops to increase or decrease the target position.

I have a version 1.0.6 on my Prusa i3. With this Version it works fine.

I Use Ramps 1.4 with 2004 Char LCD

@Massa0815 Sorry about this behavior. The change was made to prevent the controller from having the wrong value on-screen but dropping the last move. There's a patch in the queue that needs more testing, but it will fix this behavior, add a short delay to the movement control, and prevent the last move from being dropped. The PR is #3110, and the full branch can be downloaded at https://github.com/thinkyhead/Marlin/tree/rc_manual_moves

I've merged #3110 so that manual moves are no longer blocked, and so that there is a 1/2 second delay before a move starts. The upshot of this is that when trying to do very precise short moves, you must wait 1/2 second after each "tick" of the controller wheel. So perhaps this delay could be made shorter when doing very short moves such X or Y by <= 1mm.

Give the latest code a try and see if it behaves in a way that feels right.

I testet it. It works better, but the delay is a little bit to high for my taste. Its a bit to annoying whne the movement comes so late.

@Massa0815 Try some lower delay values and see if there's one that feels better. Currently it's a 1/2 second, so maybe 1/4 second is better. Just alter the value here:

inline void manual_move_to_current(AxisEnum axis) {
  manual_move_start_time = millis() + 500UL; // 1/2 second delay
  manual_move_axis = (int8_t)axis;
}

Thank you for your interest making Marlin better and reporting this issue but this topic has been open for a long period of time without any further development. Marlin has been under heavy development for the past couple of months and moving to it's last mile to finish the RC cycle and release Marlin v1.1.0. We suggest you to try out the latest RCBugfix branch and reopening this issue if required.
