Part of Grbl
Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change. The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode. Still under development though and slated to be part of the official v1.0 release. Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions. - Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to improve its efficiency. - Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct serial_write() commands to save significant flash space. - Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as well. - Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm codes. - Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing. - Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help prevent this in the future. - Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not writing the checksum value. - Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode that can continually change spindle state per planner block. - Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the system_t struct. Ran into some compiling errors that were hard to track down as to why. Moving them out fixed it.

#include "grbl.h"
Lots of re-organization and cleaning-up. Some bug fixes. - Added a new source and header file called system. These files contain the system commands and variables, as well as all of the system headers and standard libraries Grbl uses. Centralizing some of the code. - Re-organized the include headers throughout the source code. - ENABLE_M7 define was missing from config.h. Now there. - SPINDLE_MAX_RPM and SPINDLE_MIN_RPM now defined in config.h. No uncommenting to prevent user issues. Minimum spindle RPM now provides the lower, near 0V, scale adjustment, i.e. some spindles can go really slow so why use up our 256 voltage bins for them? - Remove some persistent variables from coolant and spindle control. They were redundant. - Removed a VARIABLE_SPINDLE define in cpu_map.h that shouldn’t have been there. - Changed the DEFAULT_ARC_TOLERANCE to 0.002mm to improve arc tracing. Before we had issues with performance, no longer. - Fixed a bug with the hard limits and the software debounce feature enabled. The invert limit pin setting wasn’t honored. - Fixed a bug with the homing direction mask. Now is like it used to be. At least for now. - Re-organized main.c to serve as only as the reset/initialization routine. Makes things a little bit clearer in terms of execution procedures. - Re-organized protocol.c as the overall master control unit for execution procedures. Not quite there yet, but starting to make a little more sense in how things are run. - Removed updating of old settings records. So many new settings have been added that it’s not worth adding the code to migrate old user settings. - Tweaked spindle_control.c a bit and made it more clear and consistent with other parts of Grbl. - Tweaked the stepper disable bit code in stepper.c. Requires less flash memory.

serial_write(*s++);
}
Settings refactoring. Bug fixes. Misc new features. This is likely the last major change to the v0.9 code base before push to master. Only two minor things remain on the agenda (CoreXY support, force clear EEPROM, and an extremely low federate bug). - NEW! Grbl is now compile-able and may be flashed directly through the Arduino IDE. Only minor changes were required for this compatibility. See the Wiki to learn how to do it. - New status reporting mask to turn on and off what Grbl sends back. This includes machine coordinates, work coordinates, serial RX buffer usage, and planner buffer usage. Expandable to more information on user request, but that’s it for now. - Settings have been completely renumbered to allow for future new settings to be installed without having to constantly reshuffle and renumber all of the settings every time. - All settings masks have been standardized to mean bit 0 = X, bit 1 = Y, and bit 2 = Z, to reduce confusion on how they work. The invert masks used by the internal Grbl system were updated to accommodate this change as well. - New invert probe pin setting, which does what it sounds like. - Fixed a probing cycle bug, where it would freeze intermittently, and removed some redundant code. - Homing may now be set to the origin wherever the limit switches are. Traditionally machine coordinates should always be in negative space, but when limit switches on are on the opposite side, the machine coordinate would be set to -max_travel for the axis. Now you can always make it [0,0,0] via a compile-time option in config.h. (Soft limits routine was updated to account for this as well.) - Probe coordinate message immediately after a probing cycle may now be turned off via a compile-time option in config.h. By default the probing location is always reported. - Reduced the N_ARC_CORRECTION default value to reflect the changes in how circles are generated by an arc tolerance, rather than a fixed arc segment setting. - Increased the incoming line buffer limit from 70 to 80 characters. Had some extra memory space to invest into this. - Fixed a bug where tool number T was not being tracked and reported correctly. - Added a print free memory function for debugging purposes. Not used otherwise. - Realtime rate report should now work during feed holds, but it hasn’t been tested yet. - Updated the streaming scripts with MIT-license and added the simple streaming to the main stream.py script to allow for settings to be sent. - Some minor code refactoring to improve flash efficiency. Reduced the flash by several hundred KB, which was re-invested in some of these new features.

It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change. The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode. Still under development though and slated to be part of the official v1.0 release. Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions. - Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to improve its efficiency. - Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct serial_write() commands to save significant flash space. - Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as well. - Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm codes. - Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing. - Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help prevent this in the future. - Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not writing the checksum value. - Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode that can continually change spindle state per planner block. - Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the system_t struct. Ran into some compiling errors that were hard to track down as to why. Moving them out fixed it.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state.

Settings refactoring. Bug fixes. Misc new features. This is likely the last major change to the v0.9 code base before push to master. Only two minor things remain on the agenda (CoreXY support, force clear EEPROM, and an extremely low federate bug). - NEW! Grbl is now compile-able and may be flashed directly through the Arduino IDE. Only minor changes were required for this compatibility. See the Wiki to learn how to do it. - New status reporting mask to turn on and off what Grbl sends back. This includes machine coordinates, work coordinates, serial RX buffer usage, and planner buffer usage. Expandable to more information on user request, but that’s it for now. - Settings have been completely renumbered to allow for future new settings to be installed without having to constantly reshuffle and renumber all of the settings every time. - All settings masks have been standardized to mean bit 0 = X, bit 1 = Y, and bit 2 = Z, to reduce confusion on how they work. The invert masks used by the internal Grbl system were updated to accommodate this change as well. - New invert probe pin setting, which does what it sounds like. - Fixed a probing cycle bug, where it would freeze intermittently, and removed some redundant code. - Homing may now be set to the origin wherever the limit switches are. Traditionally machine coordinates should always be in negative space, but when limit switches on are on the opposite side, the machine coordinate would be set to -max_travel for the axis. Now you can always make it [0,0,0] via a compile-time option in config.h. (Soft limits routine was updated to account for this as well.) - Probe coordinate message immediately after a probing cycle may now be turned off via a compile-time option in config.h. By default the probing location is always reported. - Reduced the N_ARC_CORRECTION default value to reflect the changes in how circles are generated by an arc tolerance, rather than a fixed arc segment setting. - Increased the incoming line buffer limit from 70 to 80 characters. Had some extra memory space to invest into this. - Fixed a bug where tool number T was not being tracked and reported correctly. - Added a print free memory function for debugging purposes. Not used otherwise. - Realtime rate report should now work during feed holds, but it hasn’t been tested yet. - Updated the streaming scripts with MIT-license and added the simple streaming to the main stream.py script to allow for settings to be sent. - Some minor code refactoring to improve flash efficiency. Reduced the flash by several hundred KB, which was re-invested in some of these new features.

The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode. Still under development though and slated to be part of the official v1.0 release. Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions. - Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to improve its efficiency. - Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct serial_write() commands to save significant flash space. - Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as well. - Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm codes. - Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing. - Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help prevent this in the future. - Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not writing the checksum value. - Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode that can continually change spindle state per planner block. - Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the system_t struct.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change.

Settings refactoring. Bug fixes. Misc new features. This is likely the last major change to the v0.9 code base before push to master. Only two minor things remain on the agenda (CoreXY support, force clear EEPROM, and an extremely low federate bug). - NEW! Grbl is now compile-able and may be flashed directly through the Arduino IDE. Only minor changes were required for this compatibility. See the Wiki to learn how to do it. - New status reporting mask to turn on and off what Grbl sends back. This includes machine coordinates, work coordinates, serial RX buffer usage, and planner buffer usage. Expandable to more information on user request, but that’s it for now. - Settings have been completely renumbered to allow for future new settings to be installed without having to constantly reshuffle and renumber all of the settings every time. - All settings masks have been standardized to mean bit 0 = X, bit 1 = Y, and bit 2 = Z, to reduce confusion on how they work. The invert masks used by the internal Grbl system were updated to accommodate this change as well. - New invert probe pin setting, which does what it sounds like. - Fixed a probing cycle bug, where it would freeze intermittently, and removed some redundant code. - Homing may now be set to the origin wherever the limit switches are. Traditionally machine coordinates should always be in negative space, but when limit switches on are on the opposite side, the machine coordinate would be set to -max_travel for the axis. Now you can always make it [0,0,0] via a compile-time option in config.h. (Soft limits routine was updated to account for this as well.) - Probe coordinate message immediately after a probing cycle may now be turned off via a compile-time option in config.h. By default the probing location is always reported. - Reduced the N_ARC_CORRECTION default value to reflect the changes in how circles are generated by an arc tolerance, rather than a fixed arc segment setting. - Increased the incoming line buffer limit from 70 to 80 characters. Had some extra memory space to invest into this. - Fixed a bug where tool number T was not being tracked and reported correctly. - Added a print free memory function for debugging purposes. Not used otherwise. - Realtime rate report should now work during feed holds, but it hasn’t been tested yet. - Updated the streaming scripts with MIT-license and added the simple streaming to the main stream.py script to allow for settings to be sent. - Some minor code refactoring to improve flash efficiency. Reduced the flash by several hundred KB, which was re-invested in some of these new features.

The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode. Still under development though and slated to be part of the official v1.0 release. Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions. - Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to improve its efficiency. - Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct serial_write() commands to save significant flash space. - Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as well. - Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm codes. - Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing. - Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help prevent this in the future. - Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not writing the checksum value. - Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode that can continually change spindle state per planner block. - Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the system_t struct. Ran into some compiling errors that were hard to track down as to why. Moving them out fixed it.

Major g-code parser overhaul. 100%* compliant. Other related updates. - Completely overhauled the g-code parser. It’s now 100%* compliant. (* may have some bugs). Being compliant, here are some of the major differences. - SMALLER and JUST AS FAST! A number of optimizations were found that sped things up and allowed for the more thorough error-checking to be installed without a speed hit. Trimmed a lot of ‘fat’ in the parser and still was able to make it significantly smaller than it was. - No default feed rate setting! Removed completely! This doesn’t exist in the g-code standard. So, it now errors out whenever it’s undefined for motions that require it (G1/2/3/38.2). - Any g-code parser error expunges the ENTIRE block. This means all information is lost and not passed on to the running state. Before some of the states would remain, which could have led to some problems. - If the g-code block passes all of the error-checks, the g-code state is updated and all motions are executed according to the order of execution. - Changes in spindle speed, when already running, will update the output pin accordingly. This fixes a bug, where it wouldn’t update the speed. - Update g-code parser error reporting. Errors now return detailed information of what exact went wrong. The most common errors return a short text description. For less common errors, the parser reports ‘Invalid gcode ID:20’, where 20 is a error ID. A list of error code IDs and their descriptions will be documented for user reference elsewhere to save flash space. - Other notable changes: - Added a print integer routine for uint8 variables. This saved significant flash space by switching from a heavier universal print integer routine. - Saved some flash space with our own short hypotenuse calculation - Some arc computation flash and memory optimizations.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change.

Settings refactoring. Bug fixes. Misc new features. This is likely the last major change to the v0.9 code base before push to master. Only two minor things remain on the agenda (CoreXY support, force clear EEPROM, and an extremely low federate bug). - NEW! Grbl is now compile-able and may be flashed directly through the Arduino IDE. Only minor changes were required for this compatibility. See the Wiki to learn how to do it. - New status reporting mask to turn on and off what Grbl sends back. This includes machine coordinates, work coordinates, serial RX buffer usage, and planner buffer usage. Expandable to more information on user request, but that’s it for now. - Settings have been completely renumbered to allow for future new settings to be installed without having to constantly reshuffle and renumber all of the settings every time. - All settings masks have been standardized to mean bit 0 = X, bit 1 = Y, and bit 2 = Z, to reduce confusion on how they work. The invert masks used by the internal Grbl system were updated to accommodate this change as well. - New invert probe pin setting, which does what it sounds like. - Fixed a probing cycle bug, where it would freeze intermittently, and removed some redundant code. - Homing may now be set to the origin wherever the limit switches are. Traditionally machine coordinates should always be in negative space, but when limit switches on are on the opposite side, the machine coordinate would be set to -max_travel for the axis. Now you can always make it [0,0,0] via a compile-time option in config.h. (Soft limits routine was updated to account for this as well.) - Probe coordinate message immediately after a probing cycle may now be turned off via a compile-time option in config.h. By default the probing location is always reported. - Reduced the N_ARC_CORRECTION default value to reflect the changes in how circles are generated by an arc tolerance, rather than a fixed arc segment setting. - Increased the incoming line buffer limit from 70 to 80 characters. Had some extra memory space to invest into this. - Fixed a bug where tool number T was not being tracked and reported correctly. - Added a print free memory function for debugging purposes. Not used otherwise. - Realtime rate report should now work during feed holds, but it hasn’t been tested yet. - Updated the streaming scripts with MIT-license and added the simple streaming to the main stream.py script to allow for settings to be sent. - Some minor code refactoring to improve flash efficiency. Reduced the flash by several hundred KB, which was re-invested in some of these new features.

// NOTE: AVR '%' and '/' integer operations are very efficient. Bitshifting speed-up
New startup script setting. New dry run, check gcode switches. New system state variable. Lots of reorganizing. (All v0.8 features installed. Still likely buggy, but now thourough testing will need to start to squash them all. As soon as we're done, this will be pushed to master and v0.9 development will be started. Please report ANY issues to us so we can get this rolled out ASAP.) - User startup script! A user can now save one (up to 5 as compile-time option) block of g-code in EEPROM memory. This will be run everytime Grbl resets. Mainly to be used as a way to set your preferences, like G21, G54, etc. - New dry run and check g-code switches. Dry run moves ALL motions at rapids rate ignoring spindle, coolant, and dwell commands. For rapid physical proofing of your code. The check g-code switch ignores all motion and provides the user a way to check if there are any errors in their program that Grbl may not like. - Program restart! (sort of). Program restart is typically an advanced feature that allows users to restart a program mid-stream. The check g-code switch can perform this feature by enabling the switch at the start of the program, and disabling it at the desired point with some minimal changes. - New system state variable. This state variable tracks all of the different state processes that Grbl performs, i.e. cycle start, feed hold, homing, etc. This is mainly for making managing of these task easier and more clear. - Position lost state variable. Only when homing is enabled, Grbl will refuse to move until homing is completed and position is known. This is mainly for safety. Otherwise, it will let users fend for themselves. - Moved the default settings defines into config.h. The plan is to eventually create a set of config.h's for particular as-built machines to help users from doing it themselves. - Moved around misc defines into .h files. And lots of other little things.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change.

Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions. - Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to improve its efficiency. - Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct serial_write() commands to save significant flash space. - Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as well. - Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm codes. - Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing. - Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help prevent this in the future. - Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not writing the checksum value. - Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode that can continually change spindle state per planner block. - Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the system_t struct.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change. The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode.

v1.1d: Tweaked interface a bit. Added realtime spindle speed and build option data. Minor bug fixes. - Increment to v1.1d due to interface tweaks. - Based on GUI dev feedback, the toggle overrides report was removed and replace with showing “accessory state”. This shows a character if a particular accessory is enabled, like the spindle or flood coolant. These can be directly altered by the toggle overrides, so when they execute, a GUI will be able to observe the state altering as feedback. - Altered the real-time feed rate to show real-time spindle speed as well. It was an over-sight on my part. It’s needed because it’s hard to know what the current spindle speed is when overrides are altering it. Especially during something like a laser cutting job when its important to know how spindle speed overrides are effecting things. - Real-time spindle speed is not shown if VARIABLE_SPINDLE is disabled. The old real-time feed rate data field will show instead. - Compile-time option data is now included in another message immediately following the build info version string, starting with `[OPT:`. A character code follows the data type name with each indicating a particular option enabled or disabled. This will help immensely with debugging Grbl as well as help GUIs know exactly how Grbl was compiled. - These interface changes are detailed in the updated documentation. - Reduced the default planner buffer size from 17 to 16. Needed to free up some memory… - For increasing the serial TX buffer size from 90 to 104 bytes. The addition of real-time spindle speeds and accessory enable data required a bigger buffer. This is to ensure Grbl is performing at optimal levels. - Refactored parts of the spindle and coolant control code to make it more consistent to each other and how it was called. It was a little messy. The changes made it easier to track what each function call was doing based on what was calling it. - Created a couple of new get_state functions for the spindle and coolant. These are called by the accessory state report to look directly at the pin state, rather than track how it was set. This guarantees that the state is reported correctly. - Updated the g-code parser, parking motion, sleep mode, and spindle stop calls to refactored spindle and coolant code. - Added a compile-time option to enable homing individual axes, rather than having only the main homing cycle. The actual use case for this is pretty rare. It’s not recommended you enable this, unless you have a specific application for it. Otherwise, just alter the homing cycle itself. - Refactored the printFloat() function to not show a decimal point if there are no trailing values after it. For example, `1.` now shows `1`. - Fixed an issue regarding spindle speed overrides no being applied to blocks without motions. - Removed the toggle_ovr_mask system variable and replaced with spindle_stop_ovr system variable. Coolant toggles don’t need to be tracked. - Updated README

Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change. The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode. Still under development though and slated to be part of the official v1.0 release. Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions. - Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to improve its efficiency. - Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct serial_write() commands to save significant flash space. - Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as well. - Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm codes. - Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing. - Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help prevent this in the future. - Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not writing the checksum value. - Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode that can continually change spindle state per planner block. - Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the system_t struct. Ran into some compiling errors that were hard to track down as to why. Moving them out fixed it.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30.

Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting. - Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds! - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of programmed feed - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 50-200% of programmed speed - Override values have configurable limits and increments in config.h. - Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant, and optionally mist coolant - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold. Automatically restores last spindles state. - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until next toggle or g-code coolant command. - Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported. - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are accepted. - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!` command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required). - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t have to track what they changed and correct it. - Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous motions with spindle speed and state changes. - Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average. - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if it doesn’t change or is not active. - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos = MPos - WCO. - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the markdown documents and wiki. - Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in extended-ASCII character space. - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code program and have tons of room for expansion. - Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate. - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the documentation. - Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused the alarm. - Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the welcome message. - May be disabled in config.h. - OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on desired behavior in config.h. - OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or `RST=*` command. - OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with external EEPROM write example sketch. - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish this. This would be useful for contain product data that is retrievable. - Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash space for the v1.0 release. - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available commands. - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!) - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation. - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space. - Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work coordinate offset. - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First, an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second, the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position, since machine position is derived from the actual current execution state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state. They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always correct. - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s not recommended to do so. - Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer change what is reported via status report mask, except for only toggling machine or work positions. - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this, because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be compatible. - Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number at all. - Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced. - Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior can be disabled in config.h - Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides. - Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to improve status reporting and overall performance. - Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so. - Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128 bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long overdue. - Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall. - Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in the status reports. - Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”. - Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report. - Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change. The refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job. - Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use. - Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in lieu of new status report that includes them. - Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin default. - Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct variable, this saved significant flash space. - Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take effect during operation. No small feat. - Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new override states. - Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle speed overrides and laser mode. - Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode. Still under development though and slated to be part of the official v1.0 release. Hang tight. - Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash. - Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper ISR as it loads new step segments. - Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function into its own since jogging uses this too. - Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with coolant_set_state(). - Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to quickly assess the new override realtime commands. - Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags. - Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count function. - Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print functions.
