Total fail from @JLCPCB when ordering a part with RP2350. No way to NOT design a board with these components. The hardware design guide from @Raspberry_Pi recommends them, but it should not be a requirement! Please give me an "I understand the risk" checkbox to submit my design😠
New product drop! 🥳Retool is now available for purchase in the web shop. This USB based remote head for 3D printers adds all you need to get rid of those 19-ish wires to the extruder. Works great with Recore and Voron 2.4, but it's flexible...

First Retool going out to a customer/friend/developer! I did a quick test print yesterday and all looks good. The temperature fluxtuations from rev A1 are gone. Not tried the Peltier driver yet 😬
They understood the assignment!

I have a strange phenomenon happening with the temperature on an RP2040. There seems to be a disturbance every 4-ish minutes. It is more pronounced with lower temperatures. Any takers on what is going on here? The software is Klipper.
I made my first PCB with RP2350 today. Very detailed and nice instructions on how to do the hardware, but perhaps a bit lacking on how to not use the built in step down converter? The chips are not available for sale yet, but the Pico 2 dev boards are cheap enough to cannibalize.
New video on getting started with Recore just dropped. See it while it's hot youtube.com/watch?v=POJyCJAv…
Oh cool! Just as I published our new website, @LinuxGizmos picked up on the news about Recore A8. Great ink! linuxgizmos.com/recore-a8-al… Hope everything still works 😬
Here is a quick Q and A about Recore A8:
Q: When will Recore A8 be available?
A: Right now.
Q: What is new about Recore A8?
A: New connectors etc.

We have now released Rebuild and Reflash v1.0.1. Here is a short summary of what is new: iagent.no/2024/06/12/rebuild…
Magic mode for file upload for Reflash🤯 You upload a compressed file and it gets decompressed and written to the eMMC directly without the intermediary of the USB. Saves some minutes. The "magic" is really just using a named pipe: xz -d < /tmp/mypipe > /dev/mmcblk2
If you have two computers with the same hostame on the network, avahi and systemd-resolved will fix this by adding a suffix and publish via mDNS. The resulting name can be found by 'getent hosts <link local address>'

Resuming checking out the @AgentBrum Recore A7 on this in-progress controller test station in about 30 minutes!

Working on the controller test station again today. We won't finish it, but hopefully will get far enough along to power up the @AgentBrum Recore A7 and see what the default setup looks like! Starting in about 30 minutes.

Oh no! That was a new sound from my #voron. Way too much slack on those belts 😆 Probably a late onset tear due to my earlier mistake.
Looks like @Steve_Builds is going to be testing Recore A7 today!
Woooow! This has got to be my hardest bug to track down yet. The manufacturer has replaced my 100 K resistors with 100 K NTC resistors 😮 I could not for the life of me figure out how the voltage kept rising as a result of my sweating 😅
