ERCF on DUET

This is mostly just a placeholder, with some quick notes.

I've setup several macros to do various things with ERCF in a native way in DUET. You can copy the gcode files into the system folder on your Duet controlled machine, and update a few config.g settings in order to define the new drive.

I've only configured to 6 filament blocks so far, but more could easily be added.

GCODE MACROS:

M700.g - USAGE: "M700 S(0-5) Move selector to the numbered filament block (locations defined in init.g)

M705.g - USAGE: "M705" Check to see if filament is present in selector

M710.g - USAGE: "M710" Load filament only into selector and check (not to be confused with loading filament to extruder)

M711.g - USAGE: "M711" Load filament into extruder (Load selector first)

M712.g - USAGE: "M712" Unload filament out of selector and check (not to be confused with unloading filament from extruder)

M713.g - USAGE: "M713" Unload filament out of extruder and back to selector. Must run M712 to fully remove the filament afterwards.

M715.g - USAGE: "M715 S(0|1)" Use S0 to disengage server and S1 to engage

M728.g - USAGE: "M728" Home selector and select the 0 filament block

init.g - USAGE: Define options for the ERCF (bowden length, selector positions, etc) add "M98 P"init.g" to your config.g to initialise the values

See config.g for an example configuration that will add an ERCF to an existing configuration.
