UI Improvements

Refine MDF and Hardwood Plywood YetiPilot profiles

YetiPilot profile testing has improved, so MDF and Hardwood Plywood profiles have been re-tested. The spindle load values have changed slightly, for improved cutting performance.

Warn user if spindle speed is too low to run file

In release v2.8.2, a spindle speed algorithm was introduced to ensure greater congruence and accuracy between the requested spindle speed and the actual spindle speed. 

This algorithm introduced a threshold for the minimum spindle speed that can be requested; below this threshold, the spindle won’t run at the expected speed, or will stop altogether.

When users check their files, they will be warned if spindle speeds are below these thresholds. They will also be prevented from lowering the current spindle speed below the threshold during the job.

Note that spindles with different voltages have different minimum thresholds, due to conversion requirements.

Patches

• Reminder to set the Z datum does not show if the datum has been set. 

• Automatic shutdown after 60 seconds has been reinstated. 

• The full size keyboard no longer crashes when using the upgrade app, or when pressing the enter button if the text instance does not exist. 

• Display of all languages on the spindle power-on popup has been fixed. 

• German translations in the spindle safety popup have been tidied up for better readability. 

Technical

In the color_provider module, the import from the typing package was wrapped in try-except to prevent import exception. This is required for USB updates.
