lcd_update can take so much time that the block buffer gets drained if
there are only short segments. This leads to jerky printer movements for
example in circles and a bad print quality.
This change implements a simple check: Only if the block currently
executed is long enough, run lcd_update.
This also means the printer will not show actual values on the LCD nor
will it respond to buttons pressed. A option that keeps the menu
accessible is also available.
Aditionaly, slow down if a block would be so fast that adding a new
block to the buffer would take more time. In this case, the buffer would
drain until it's empty in worst case.
planner.h:
fan speed is used to set integer variables, so no need for long.
Basicaly a byte should be enough for all the fan things, as it's 0-255?
planner.cpp:
Save some float multiplications.
We could squeeze out even more by defining feedrate_percentage,
saved_feedrate_percentage and flow_percentage as float instead of int.
Everytime they are used in the time-critical planner, they are casted to
float and multiplied by 0.01. Not done jet, as they are used in LCD menu
functions I don't know well enough.
The extrusion speed was wrong due to a not high enough precision of
esteps to XY steps, therefore now the target float values are used to
calculate the ratio between XY movement and extrusion speed.
The e_speed_multiplier8 was replaced by an absolute multiplier called
abs_adv_steps_multiplier8, therefore one multiplication and bitshift can
be saved inside the stepper ISR. Due to this, also extruder_advance_k is
better suited inside the planner and not the stepper files any more.
.) Use already existing inverse_millimeters instead of /
block->millimeters.
.) Prevent overflow during acceleration calculation by checking if float
is necessary. Idea modified from Sailfish.
.) Save two uint32_t or even float multiplications by checking if
step[AXIS] has steps and if max acceleration is lower than accel. If
not, there is no need to check this axis.
