If the stepper phases are known then it is possible to arrange for the
0.0 position to occur at a full step. On cartesian style printer,
this makes it possible for the Z levels to occur at full steps (which
may help reduce "Z ribbing").

Now that the print_time is always synchronized with the mcu_time,

Adjust the configured homing speed so that it always results in a
speed that is an even number of mcu ticks per step. This ensures that
the code can always get good step compression during homing, which is
important as the entire homing operation must be able to fit within
the mcu's move queue. This fixes some "move queue empty" mcu shutdown
errors that could occur when the Z step distance was an unusual size.

Allow external code to obtain the mcu object that controls a pin setup

Extend the endstop code so that more than one stepper can be halted
during endstop homing. Some kinematic setups (eg, corexy) require an
endstop to support this.

The previous calculation was only valid if the stepper is always
commanded to a position that is an exact multiple of the
step_distance. The safety check was programmed with a value too large
for other commanded positions, which could result in "No next step"
errors. Fix by changing the calculation to use the worst case
scenario.

Now that the mcu objects can be created prior to connecting to the

Change the default compression error window (max_error) from 50us to
25us - it's common for stepper motor drivers to have 30us for their
"pwm fixed off time" and it would be good for the steps to be
scheduled within that time.

Change the config file so the maximum accel and velocity are specified
in the "printer" section instead of the individual "stepper" sections.
The underlying code limits the velocity and accel of the toolhead
relative to the print object, so it makes sense to configure the
system that was as well.

Create the QueryEndstops in the gcode handler instead of in the

Commits f0cefebf and 8f331f08 changed the way the code determined what
steps to take on fractional steps. Unfortunately, it was possible in
some situations for the C code to round differently from the python
code which could result in warnings and lost steps.
Change the code so that all fractional step handling is done in the C
code. Implementing the step rounding logic in one location avoids any
conflicts.
In order to efficiently handle the step rounding in the C code, the C
code has also been extended to directly send the "set_next_step_dir"
command.

Rename get_homed_position() to get_homed_offset() and return the

can be dependent on the type of kinematics in use, so is inappropriate
to do in the low level stepper.py code.
