Baby-stepping show millimeters on LCD

[edwilliams16]

Change babystepping so that mm not steps are displayed on the LCD.

[Blue-Marlin]

If you don't need babysteps_done any more - drop it everywhere.

[edwilliams16]

I kept it in the latest update to get rid of some irritating rounding error from incrementing a float.

[thinkyhead]

If you do this here instead…

if (lcdDrawUpdate)
  lcd_implementation_drawedit(msg, ftostr43sign(
    0.001f * ((1000 * babysteps_done) / planner.axis_steps_per_mm[axis])
  ));

…then you don't need to define distance_done above, or set it to 0.0 below. And this won't be called except when the value changes, so it doesn't cost any extra CPU.

[edwilliams16]

That is certainly simpler than carrying distance_done around all over the code.
Right now, I'm working directly with my cloned repository at github. Once I've figured out how to connect that up with my Mac, I'll have a command-line (and a decent editor) to work with.

[thinkyhead]

To squash commits is pretty straightforward from the command-line. git rebase -i opens up your default editor and you can use "fixup" to combine commits together. When done you can use git push -f to push the new commit(s).

[edwilliams16]

OK. I thing I got the commits squashed together on my end - but it looks chaotic over here for such a simple fix...
I usually work in emacs shell-mode and I haven't yet made that git friendly.
At least it works fine on my machine...

[thinkyhead]

If you have squashed your commits, please use git push -f to push the fixed-up commit(s). Otherwise, I will need to clone your branch, do the squashes myself, and create a new PR.

[edwilliams16]

Do I have access to the command line on my github account? That's where I've been making the pull requests via the web. Or do I need to bypass that and somehow push to the Marlin account from my Mac?
Hopefully after I get beyond being a total git novice, I'll be less trouble.

@edwilliams16 ... I know the feeling...

I am not a mac owner, but this URL does shows all the bits and pieces I
have appreciated...
https://git-scm.com/download/mac is the page with ref to a mac tool (seems
to be a command line interface as I like it),
There is the, or should is say THE reference book: Pro Git book
https://git-scm.com/book

Then you'll get help from the community to fill the gap...(gaps :-) )

after I get beyond being a total git novice

I added some scripts to help working with Marlin and git from the command-line. They live in Marlin/buildroot/share/git and are described at #3567. The one script it doesn't include is one I would name mfinit which would just do this to make sure your repo is ready for the other scripts:

git remote add upstream [email protected]:MarlinFirmware/Marlin.git

To master git you should go through this interactive tutorial: http://learngitbranching.js.org/

[thinkyhead]

Here is how I'm cleaning up this PR…

$ git remote add edwilliams16 [email protected]:edwilliams16/Marlin.git
$ git fetch edwilliams16
$ git checkout edwilliams16/RCBugFix -b rc_babysteps_mm
$ mfrb

Opens up an editor, where I edit it to say:

reword 780725f Update ultralcd.cpp
f 44d1903 Update ultralcd.cpp   
f 5fd480c Update ultralcd.cpp   
f 4c141b2 Update ultralcd.cpp   
f ff7d869 Update ultralcd.cpp   
f 9ff3bde put back file   

I save this, the editor reopens so the "reword" commit can be edited.
After saving, the git rebase -i is done, so I create a new PR…

$ mfpr

And the browser opens up, ready for me to create a PR.

@edwilliams16
I have a Mac, too.

It is quite easy:

• Download GitHub Desktop: https://desktop.github.com
• Install
• You will have the command line tools and you can use them in the Terminal app.
• For most tasks you can use the GUI app.
