From pathological to borderline acceptable in one firmware update

In case ReplicatorG hasn’t already notified you, there’s a new update to the motherboard firmware.  The v2.2 release includes the extruder packet retry code suggested by Miguel Angel, revnar, and others.  As you can see, it’s drastically reduced packet drops from our in-house Pathological Extruder Board, so just imagine what it will do for yours!  If you’ve had extruder comms issues, install it and give it a while.

This is just an update to the motherboard firmware– you don’t have to update anything on your extruder controller.

Happy printing, and let me know how the update works for you!
