Remove Old Experimental Tags #25238

@thisiskeithb thisiskeithb commented Jan 13, 2023

Description

Several features in Marlin have been marked as experimental for 5...6...7 years at this point and a common question from users is if they should enable X feature because it's marked as experimental.

So, let's remove some old experimental tags!

Removed / Updated

Remove experimental comment from:

  • ABL_BILINEAR_SUBDIVISION
  • NOZZLE_CLEAN_FEATURE
  • PID_EXTRUSION_SCALING
  • EXPERIMENTAL_I2CBUS

Rename EXPERIMENTAL_I2CBUS to I2CBUS.

Completely remove EXPERIMENTAL_SCURVE so users are free to enable S_CURVE_ACCELERATION with LIN_ADVANCE.

This following tags/features will remain marked as experimental

  • MPCTEMP (even though it works well, this needs wider adoption/testing)
  • THERMAL_PROTECTION_VARIANCE_MONITOR (this feature causes issues on builds with stable temps and I personally do not recommend it)
  • INPUT_SHAPING_X/Y (new, still needs work/testing)
  • MULTI_VOLUME (flash drive support is still buggy in general)
  • INTEGRATED_BABYSTEPPING (even though it works well, this needs wider adoption/testing)
  • EXPERIMENTAL_I2S_LA (new, needs wider adoption/testing)

Benefits

Fewer questions about features being safe to enable.

Configs repo will need to be updated for tests to pass.

Just a question about S curve and lin_advance. I removed one because of "experimental", since I didn't know where/if something wrong could be caused by the presence of both.
Are there in the wild a lot of people, that you are aware, that use both without issues?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I haven’t seen reported issues.

I run them together on builds here and have both enabled in my PrusaAIO fork (for users who upgrade their MK3/S printers with 32-bit boards) without issues.

There may have been a time when the two were incompatible initially, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

The I2CBUS stuff is meant for developers to experiment, and doesn't do anything useful without added code. So I don't mind continuing to call it "experimental." It would be interesting to see if anyone has applied it to an actual problem.

I just experienced some issues building marlin with EXPERIMENTAL_I2CBUS for samd51.
When enabled I can build and upload, but no tty comes up. looks like some firmware is not booting, guess some memory leaking or so... behavior is exactly like 22456

I just experienced some issues building marlin with EXPERIMENTAL_I2CBUS for samd51. When enabled I can build and upload, but no tty comes up. looks like some firmware is not booting, guess some memory leaking or so... behavior is exactly like #22456

As noted above:

The I2CBUS stuff is meant for developers to experiment, and doesn't do anything useful without added code.

So you’d need to add code for it to work. This isn’t the place to ask for help though.
