New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

report.c - reporting and messaging methods
Homing alarm upon no switch. Licensing update. - Homing cycle failure reports alarm feedback when the homing cycle is exited via a reset, interrupted by a safety door switch, or does not find the limit switch. - Homing cycle bug fix when not finding the limit switch. It would just idle before, but now will exit with an alarm. - Licensing update. Corrected licensing according to lawyer recommendations. Removed references to other Grbl versions.

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.

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.

New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

Bug fix for certain motions. Re-org of includes. - Critical bug fix for diagonal motions that continue on the same direction or return in the exact opposite direction. This issue could cause Grbl to crash intermittently due to a numerical round-off error. Grbl versions prior to v0.9g shouldn’t have this issue. - Reorganized all of the includes used by Grbl. Centralized it into a single “grbl.h” include. This will help simplify the compiling and uploading process through the Arduino IDE. - Added an example .INO file for users to simply open and run when compiling and uploading through the IDE. More to come later.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

// Handles the primary confirmation protocol response for streaming interfaces and human-feedback.
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.

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.

void report_status_message(uint8_t status_code)
New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

Re-factored system states and alarm management. Serial baud support greater than 57600. - Refactored system states to be more clear and concise. Alarm locks processes when position is unknown to indicate to user something has gone wrong. - Changed mc_alarm to mc_reset, which now manages the system reset function. Centralizes it. - Renamed '$X' kill homing lock to kill alarm lock. - Created an alarm error reporting method to clear up what is an alarm: message vs a status error: message. For GUIs mainly. Alarm codes are negative. Status codes are positive. - Serial baud support upto 115200. Previous baudrate calc was unstable for 57600 and above. - Alarm state locks out all g-code blocks, including startup scripts, but allows user to access settings and internal commands. For example, to disable hard limits, if they are problematic. - Hard limits do not respond in an alarm state. - Fixed a problem with the hard limit interrupt during the homing cycle. The interrupt register is still active during the homing cycle and still signal the interrupt to trigger when re-enabled. Instead, just disabled the register. - Homing rate adjusted. All axes move at homing seek rate, regardless of how many axes move at the same time. This is unlike how the stepper module does it as a point to point rate. - New config.h settings to disable the homing rate adjustment and the force homing upon powerup. - Reduced the number of startup lines back down to 2 from 3. This discourages users from placing motion block in there, which can be very dangerous. - Startup blocks now run only after an alarm-free reset or after a homing cycle. Does not run when $X kill is called. For satefy reasons

void report_alarm_message(int8_t alarm_code)
{
New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

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.

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.

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.

printPgmString(PSTR("ALARM:"));
New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

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.

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.

New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

Re-factored system states and alarm management. Serial baud support greater than 57600. - Refactored system states to be more clear and concise. Alarm locks processes when position is unknown to indicate to user something has gone wrong. - Changed mc_alarm to mc_reset, which now manages the system reset function. Centralizes it. - Renamed '$X' kill homing lock to kill alarm lock. - Created an alarm error reporting method to clear up what is an alarm: message vs a status error: message. For GUIs mainly. Alarm codes are negative. Status codes are positive. - Serial baud support upto 115200. Previous baudrate calc was unstable for 57600 and above. - Alarm state locks out all g-code blocks, including startup scripts, but allows user to access settings and internal commands. For example, to disable hard limits, if they are problematic. - Hard limits do not respond in an alarm state. - Fixed a problem with the hard limit interrupt during the homing cycle. The interrupt register is still active during the homing cycle and still signal the interrupt to trigger when re-enabled. Instead, just disabled the register. - Homing rate adjusted. All axes move at homing seek rate, regardless of how many axes move at the same time. This is unlike how the stepper module does it as a point to point rate. - New config.h settings to disable the homing rate adjustment and the force homing upon powerup. - Reduced the number of startup lines back down to 2 from 3. This discourages users from placing motion block in there, which can be very dangerous. - Startup blocks now run only after an alarm-free reset or after a homing cycle. Does not run when $X kill is called. For satefy reasons

New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

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.

Added block delete, opt stop, single block mode. New parser state and parameter feedback. Overhauled '$' command. NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go before everything is installed, such as startup blocks. - Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings. The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

Tweaks and bug fixes. Increase to 3 startup blocks. Remove purge/added unlock command - Increased the number of startup blocks to 3 for no good reason other than it doesn't increase the flash size. - Removed the purge buffer command and replaced with an disable homing lock command. - Homing now blocks all g-code commands (not system commands) until the homing cycle has been performed or the disable homing lock is sent. Homing is required upon startup or if Grbl loses it position. This is for safety reasons. - Cleaned up some of the Grbl states and re-organized it to be little more cohesive. - Cleaned up the feedback and status messages to not use so much flash space, as it's a premium now. - Check g-code and dry run switches how are mutually exclusive and can't be enabled when the other is. And automatically resets Grbl when disabled. - Some bug fixes and other minor tweaks.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

Overhauled state machine. New safety door feature. - Overhauled the state machine and cleaned up its overall operation. This involved creating a new ‘suspend’ state for what all external commands, except real-time commands, are ignored. All hold type states enter this suspend state. - Removed ‘auto cycle start’ setting from Grbl. This was not used by users in its intended way and is somewhat redundant, as GUI manage the cycle start by streaming. It also muddled up how Grbl should interpret how and when to execute a g-code block. Removing it made everything much much simpler. - Fixed a program pause bug when used with other buffer_sync commands. - New safety door feature for OEMs. Immediately forces a feed hold and then de-energizes the machine. Resuming is blocked until the door is closed. When it is, it re-energizes the system and then resumes on the normal toolpath. - Safety door input pin is optional and uses the feed hold pin on A1. Enabled by config.h define. - Spindle and coolant re-energizing upon a safety door resume has a programmable delay time to allow for complete spin up to rpm and turning on the coolant before resuming motion. - Safety door-style feed holds can be used instead of regular feed hold (doesn’t de-energize the machine) with a ‘@‘ character. If the safety door input pin is not enabled, the system can be resumed at any time.

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.

Critical M0/2/30 fix. Homing updates. - Critical fix for M0 program pause. Due to its recent change, it would cause Grbl to suspend but wouldn’t notify the user of why Grbl was not doing anything. The state would show IDLE and a cycle start would resume it. Grbl now enters a HOLD state to better indicate the state change. - Critical fix for M2 and M30 program end. As with M0, the state previously would show IDLE while suspended. Grbl now does not suspend upon program end and leaves job control to the GUI. Grbl simply reports a `[Pgm End]` as a feedback message and resets certain g-code modes. - M2/30 g-code reseting fix. Previously Grbl would soft-reset after an M2/30, but this was not complaint to the (linuxcnc) g-code standard. It simply resets [G1,G17,G90,G94,G40,G54,M5,M9,M48] and keeps all other modes the same. - M0/M2/M30 check-mode fix. It now does not suspend the machine during check-mode. - Minor bug fix related to commands similar to G90.1, but not G90.1, not reporting an unsupported command. - Homing cycle refactoring. To help reduce the chance of users misunderstanding their limit switch wiring, Grbl only moves a short distance for the locate cycles only. In addition, the homing cycle pulls-off the limit switch by the pull-off distance to re-engage and locate home. This should improve its accuracy. - HOMING_FORCE_ORIGIN now sets the origin to the pull-off location, rather than where the limit switch was triggered. - Updated default junction deviation to 0.01mm. Recent tests showed that this improves Grbl’s cornering behavior a bit. - Added the ShapeOko3 defaults. - Added new feedback message `[Pgm End]` for M2/30 notification. - Limit pin reporting is now a $10 status report option. Requested by OEMs to help simplify support troubleshooting.

v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

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.

void report_grbl_help() {
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.

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.

New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

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.

"$J=line (jog)\r\n"
v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

}
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.
2014-07-26 23:01:34 +02:00
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.

#ifdef REPORT_GUI_MODE
Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

The main advantage is if a feed hold is used, you can accidentally hold the machine right when Grbl returns to IDLE after completing a jog. And the GUI doesn’t have to worry about tracking this either. - Fixed a typo in the g-code parser edits from the last push.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

New jog cancel real-time command. Parser typo fix from last push. - Added a new jog cancel real-time command. Rather than depending on a feed hold to cancel a jogging motion, this realtime command can be used instead. The main advantage is if a feed hold is used, you can accidentally hold the machine right when Grbl returns to IDLE after completing a jog. And the GUI doesn’t have to worry about tracking this either. - Fixed a typo in the g-code parser edits from the last push. Was causing the G10 set coordinate system command to not work correctly. - Updated the documentation with the jog cancel command.

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.

Ran into some compiling errors that were hard to track down as to why. Moving them out fixed it.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

New jog cancel real-time command. Parser typo fix from last push. - Added a new jog cancel real-time command. Rather than depending on a feed hold to cancel a jogging motion, this realtime command can be used instead. The main advantage is if a feed hold is used, you can accidentally hold the machine right when Grbl returns to IDLE after completing a jog. And the GUI doesn’t have to worry about tracking this either. - Fixed a typo in the g-code parser edits from the last push. Was causing the G10 set coordinate system command to not work correctly. - Updated the documentation with the jog cancel command.

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.

New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

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.

New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

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.

v1.0 Beta Release. - Tons of new stuff in this release, which is fairly stable and well tested. However, much more is coming soon! - Real-time parking motion with safety door. When this compile option is enabled, an opened safety door will cause Grbl to automatically feed hold, retract, de-energize the spindle/coolant, and parks near Z max. After the door is closed and resume is commanded, this reverses and the program continues as if nothing happened. This is also highly configurable. See config.h for details. - New spindle max and min rpm ‘$’ settings! This has been requested often. Grbl will output 5V when commanded to turn on the spindle at its max rpm, and 0.02V with min rpm. The voltage and the rpm range are linear to each other. This should help users tweak their settings to get close to true rpm’s. - If the new max rpm ‘$’ setting is set = 0 or less than min rpm, the spindle speed PWM pin will act like a regular on/off spindle enable pin. On pin D11. - BEWARE: Your old EEPROM settings will be wiped! The new spindle rpm settings require a new settings version, so Grbl will automatically wipe and restore the EEPROM with the new defaults. - Control pin can now be inverted individually with a CONTROL_INVERT_MASK in the cpu_map header file. Not typical for users to need this, but handy to have. - Fixed bug when Grbl receive too many characters in a line and overflows. Previously it would respond with an error per overflow character and another acknowledge upon an EOL character. This broke the streaming protocol. Now fixed to only respond with an error after an EOL character. - Fixed a bug with the safety door during an ALARM mode. You now can’t home or unlock the axes until the safety door has been closed. This is for safety reasons (obviously.) - Tweaked some the Mega2560 cpu_map settings . Increased segment buffer size and fixed the spindle PWM settings to output at a higher PWM frequency. - Generalized the delay function used by G4 delay for use by parking motion. Allows non-blocking status reports and real-time control during re-energizing of the spindle and coolant. - Added spindle rpm max and min defaults to default.h files. - Added a new print float for rpm values.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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.

New configuration options. - New configuration option at compile-time: - Force alarm upon power-up or hard reset. When homing is enabled, this is already the default behavior. This simply forces this all of the time. - GUI reporting mode. Removes most human-readable strings that GUIs don’t need. This saves nearly 2KB in flash space that can be used for other features. - Hard limit force state check: In the hard limit pin change ISR, Grbl by default sets the hard limit alarm upon any pin change to guarantee the alarm is set. If this option is set, it’ll check the state within the ISR, but can’t guarantee the pin will be read correctly if the switch is bouncing. This option makes hard limit behavior a little less annoying if you have a good buffered switch circuit that removes bouncing and electronic noise. - Software debounce bug fix. It was reading the pin incorrectly for the setting. - Re-factored some of the ‘$’ settings code.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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.

New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

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.

G38.2 probe feature rough draft installed. Working but needs testing. - G38.2 straight probe now supported. Rough draft. May be tweaked more as testing ramps up. - G38.2 requires at least one axis word. Multiple axis words work too. When commanded, the probe cycle will move at the last ‘F’ feed rate specified in a straight line. - During a probe cycle: If the probe pin goes low (normal high), Grbl will record that immediate position and engage a feed hold. Meaning that the CNC machine will move a little past the probe switch point, so keep federates low to stop sooner. Once stopped, Grbl will issue a move to go back to the recorded probe trigger point. - During a probe cycle: If the probe switch does not engage by the time the machine has traveled to its target coordinates, Grbl will issue an ALARM and the user will be forced to reset Grbl. (Currently G38.3 probe without error isn’t supported, but would be easy to implement later.) - After a successful probe, Grbl will send a feedback message containing the recorded probe coordinates in the machine coordinate system. This is as the g-code standard on probe parameters specifies. - The recorded probe parameters are retained in Grbl memory and can be viewed with the ‘$#’ print parameters command. Upon a power-cycle, not a soft-reset, Grbl will re-zero these values. - Moved ‘$#’ command to require IDLE or ALARM mode, because it accesses EEPROM to fetch the coordinate system offsets. - Updated the Grbl version to v0.9d. - The probe cycle is subject to change upon testing or user-feedback.

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.

// successful probe or upon a failed probe with the G38.3 without errors command (if supported).
G38.2 probe feature rough draft installed. Working but needs testing. - G38.2 straight probe now supported. Rough draft. May be tweaked more as testing ramps up. - G38.2 requires at least one axis word. Multiple axis words work too. When commanded, the probe cycle will move at the last ‘F’ feed rate specified in a straight line. - During a probe cycle: If the probe pin goes low (normal high), Grbl will record that immediate position and engage a feed hold. Meaning that the CNC machine will move a little past the probe switch point, so keep federates low to stop sooner. Once stopped, Grbl will issue a move to go back to the recorded probe trigger point. - During a probe cycle: If the probe switch does not engage by the time the machine has traveled to its target coordinates, Grbl will issue an ALARM and the user will be forced to reset Grbl. (Currently G38.3 probe without error isn’t supported, but would be easy to implement later.) - After a successful probe, Grbl will send a feedback message containing the recorded probe coordinates in the machine coordinate system. This is as the g-code standard on probe parameters specifies. - The recorded probe parameters are retained in Grbl memory and can be viewed with the ‘$#’ print parameters command. Upon a power-cycle, not a soft-reset, Grbl will re-zero these values. - Moved ‘$#’ command to require IDLE or ALARM mode, because it accesses EEPROM to fetch the coordinate system offsets. - Updated the Grbl version to v0.9d. - The probe cycle is subject to change upon testing or user-feedback.

Lot of refactoring for the future. CoreXY support. - Rudimentary CoreXY kinematics support. Didn’t test, but homing and feed holds should work. See config.h. Please report successes and issues as we find bugs. - G40 (disable cutter comp) is now “supported”. Meaning that Grbl will no longer issue an error when typically sent in g-code program header. - Refactored coolant and spindle state setting into separate functions for future features. - Configuration option for fixing homing behavior when there are two limit switches on the same axis sharing an input pin. - Created a new “grbl.h” that will eventually be used as the main include file for Grbl. Also will help simply uploading through the Arduino IDE - Separated out the alarms execution flags from the realtime (used be called runtime) execution flag variable. Now reports exactly what caused the alarm. Expandable for new alarms later on. - Refactored the homing cycle to support CoreXY. - Applied @EliteEng updates to Mega2560 support. Some pins were reconfigured. - Created a central step to position and vice versa function. Needed for non-traditional cartesian machines. Should make it easier later. - Removed the new CPU map for the Uno. No longer going to used. There will be only one configuration to keep things uniform.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

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.

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.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

G43.1/G49 tool length offset installed. Minor bug fix. - Minor bug fix that caused G92.1 not to work. The mantissa of G92.1 was not computed correctly due to floating point round-off errors and the use of trunc(). Fixed it by changing the computation with round(). - Installed tool length offsets with G43.1 and G49! True tool length offsets via G43 are not supported, because these require us to store tool data that we don’t have space for. But we’ve come up with a good solution for users that need this. Instead we are strictly using the dynamic version G43.1 via linuxcnc.org. Visit their website for more details on the command. - G43.1 operates by requiring an axis word and value to offset the configured tool length axis, which can be configured for any axis (default Z-axis) in config.h. For example, ```G43.1 Z0.5``` will offset the work coordinates from Z0.0 to Z-0.5. - G49 will cancel the last tool length offset value and reset it to zero. - Tweaked the ‘$#’ parameters report. `Probe` is now `PRB` and a new value `TLO` states the tool length offset value.

G38.2 probe feature rough draft installed. Working but needs testing. - G38.2 straight probe now supported. Rough draft. May be tweaked more as testing ramps up. - G38.2 requires at least one axis word. Multiple axis words work too. When commanded, the probe cycle will move at the last ‘F’ feed rate specified in a straight line. - During a probe cycle: If the probe pin goes low (normal high), Grbl will record that immediate position and engage a feed hold. Meaning that the CNC machine will move a little past the probe switch point, so keep federates low to stop sooner. Once stopped, Grbl will issue a move to go back to the recorded probe trigger point. - During a probe cycle: If the probe switch does not engage by the time the machine has traveled to its target coordinates, Grbl will issue an ALARM and the user will be forced to reset Grbl. (Currently G38.3 probe without error isn’t supported, but would be easy to implement later.) - After a successful probe, Grbl will send a feedback message containing the recorded probe coordinates in the machine coordinate system. This is as the g-code standard on probe parameters specifies. - The recorded probe parameters are retained in Grbl memory and can be viewed with the ‘$#’ print parameters command. Upon a power-cycle, not a soft-reset, Grbl will re-zero these values. - Moved ‘$#’ command to require IDLE or ALARM mode, because it accesses EEPROM to fetch the coordinate system offsets. - Updated the Grbl version to v0.9d. - The probe cycle is subject to change upon testing or user-feedback.

Added block delete, opt stop, single block mode. New parser state and parameter feedback. Overhauled '$' command. NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go before everything is installed, such as startup blocks. - Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings. The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.
2012-11-01 16:37:27 +01:00
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.
2012-11-03 18:32:23 +01:00
Added Grbl state in status report. Removed switch support. - Added Grbl state (Idle, Running, Queued, Hold, etc) to the real-time status reporting feature as feedback to the user of what Grbl is doing. Updated the help message to reflect this change. - Removed switches (dry run, block delete, single block mode). To keep Grbl simple and not muddled up from things that can easily be taken care of by an external interface, these were removed. - Check g-code mode was retained, but the command was moved to '$C' from '$S0'.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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. 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.

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. 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.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

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.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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.

Added block delete, opt stop, single block mode. New parser state and parameter feedback. Overhauled '$' command. NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go before everything is installed, such as startup blocks. - Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings. The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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.

Added block delete, opt stop, single block mode. New parser state and parameter feedback. Overhauled '$' command. NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go before everything is installed, such as startup blocks. - Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings. The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

}
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.

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.

#else
Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

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.

Added block delete, opt stop, single block mode. New parser state and parameter feedback. Overhauled '$' command. NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go before everything is installed, such as startup blocks. - Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings. The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

printPgmString(PSTR(" T"));
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.

printPgmString(PSTR(" F"));
Realtime rate reporting. Updated decimal places. - Added a new optional compile-time feature for ‘realtime’ (within 50ms) feed rate reporting. When querying for a status report, a new data value will state the current operating rate. It’s only beta at the moment and has some kinks to work out. - Updated the code for printing floating point values to N decimal places. Generalized the main floating point print code to accept a new decimal places value and created a set of handler functions to print certain floating point value types used in Grbl, like position, rates, coordinate offsets, etc. All of these have different decimal requirements and change when printed in mm or inches mode. - Number of decimal places for the different value types can be re-defined in config.h, but there shouldn’t be a need for this, as these are physically limited. - Removed the decimal places settings, as this was now obsoleted by the new decimal places code. - The new decimal places code also saves almost 300kB in flash space, as it’s more efficient.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

Added Grbl state in status report. Removed switch support. - Added Grbl state (Idle, Running, Queued, Hold, etc) to the real-time status reporting feature as feedback to the user of what Grbl is doing. Updated the help message to reflect this change. - Removed switches (dry run, block delete, single block mode). To keep Grbl simple and not muddled up from things that can easily be taken care of by an external interface, these were removed. - Check g-code mode was retained, but the command was moved to '$C' from '$S0'.

Added block delete, opt stop, single block mode. New parser state and parameter feedback. Overhauled '$' command. NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go before everything is installed, such as startup blocks. - Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings. The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling, homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9. - Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode. - Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters (coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally. - Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct. - Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c. - Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.

New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.
2012-11-01 16:37:27 +01:00
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.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed. They now start with an open chevron ‘>’ followed by the line and an ‘:ok’ to indicate it executed. The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

The ‘ok’ is on the same line intentionally so it doesn’t mess up a streaming protocol counter. - Managed to save a 100+KB from refactoring parts of report.c. (Thanks Vasilis!) Freed up room to alter the protocol a little. - Wrote a markdown document on interface messaging to make it clear how it’s intended to work. See interface.md in /doc/markdown - Started to pull in some Wiki pages from the old grbl site and beginning to update them for v1.1. - Created new commit log for v1.1.

New build info feature. (per @Analogreality request) - New build info feature. Hidden command ‘$I’ will print the build info for your Grbl firmware. Users may also write an identifying message within it via ‘$I=‘ with up to 32 characters. (no more, or else it will break). - Adjusted the max number of startup lines to 3. Majority of people will only need one. - Fixed a compile error with spindle_control.c. A rogue #endif was causing problems.

Increment to v1.1a, minor compile bug fix, tweaked communication protocol, more docs. - Incremented to v1.1a, rather than keep 1.0e. This is because there are existing v1.0 installations. Don’t want to confuse people further. - Certain version of the Arduino IDE did not like the `inline` in the function header. Removed from spindle_control files to fix the problem. - Tweaked the communication protocol slightly. Added message type indicators for all `[]`bracketed feedback messages. It’s been problematic for GUI dev to try to determine the context of a message and how it should be handled. These indictors should help tremendously to remove context all together. - Also altered how `$N` startup lines are presented when executed.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

New compile options and inverse time bug fix. - Apparently inverse time motion were not working for quite some time. Goes to show how many people actually use it. The calculation was bad and is now fixed in this update. It should now work correctly. - `;` comment type is now supported. This is standard on LinuxCNC and common on 3d printers. It was previously not supported due to not existing in the NIST standard, which is out-dated. - New compile-option to ECHO the line received. This should help users experiencing very weird problems and help diagnose if there is something amiss in the communication to Grbl. - New compile-option to use the spindle direction pin D13 as a spindle enable pin with PWM spindle speed on D11. This feature has been requested often from the laser cutter community. Since spindle direction isn’t really of much use, it seemed like good good trade. Note that M4 spindle enable counter-clock-wise support is removed for obvious reasons, while M3 and M5 still work.

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.

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.

// especially during g-code programs with fast, short line segments and high frequency reports (5-20Hz).
New report module. 6 persistent work coordinates. New G-codes and settings. README and minor bug updates (NOTE: This push is likely buggy so proceed with caution. Just uploading to let people know where we're going.) - New report.c module. Moved all feedback functions into this module to centralize these processes. Includes realtime status reports, status messages, feedback messages. - Official support 6 work coordinate systems (G54-G59), which are persistently held in EEPROM memory. - New g-code support: G28.1, G30.1 stores current machine position as a home position into EEPROM. G10 L20 Px stores current machine position into work coordinates without needing to explicitly send XYZ words. - Homing performed with '$H' command. G28/G30 no longer start the homing cycle. This is how it's supposed to be. - New settings: Stepper enable invert and n_arc correction installed. - Updated and changed up some limits and homing functionality. Pull-off travel will now move after the homing cycle regardless of hard limits enabled. Fixed direction of pull-off travel (went wrong way). - Started on designing an internal Grbl command protocol based on the '$' settings letter. Commands with non numeric characters after '$' will perform switch commands, homing cycle, jogging, printing paramters, etc. Much more to do here. - Updated README to reflect all of the new features.

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.

v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

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.

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.

Pin state reporting of all pins. Flash optimization. - New pin state realtime reporting feature. Instead of `Lim:000` for limit state reports, the new feature shows `Pin:000|0|0000`, or something similar. The `|` delimited fields indicate xyz limits, probe, and control pin states, where 0 is always not triggered, and 1 is triggered. Invert masks ARE accounted for. Each field may be enabled or disabled via the `$10` status report setting. The probe and control pin flags are bits 5 and 6, respectively. - Remove the now deprecated `REPORT_CONTROL_PIN_STATE` option in config.h - The old limit pin reports `Lim:000` may be re-enabled by commenting out `REPORT_ALL_PIN_STATES` in config.h. - Incremented the version letter (v1.0c) to indicate the change in reporting style. - Replaced all bit_true_atomic and bit_false_atomic macros with function calls. This saved a couple hundred bytes of flash.

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.

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.

Pin state reporting of all pins. Flash optimization. - New pin state realtime reporting feature. Instead of `Lim:000` for limit state reports, the new feature shows `Pin:000|0|0000`, or something similar. The `|` delimited fields indicate xyz limits, probe, and control pin states, where 0 is always not triggered, and 1 is triggered. Invert masks ARE accounted for. Each field may be enabled or disabled via the `$10` status report setting. The probe and control pin flags are bits 5 and 6, respectively. - Remove the now deprecated `REPORT_CONTROL_PIN_STATE` option in config.h - The old limit pin reports `Lim:000` may be re-enabled by commenting out `REPORT_ALL_PIN_STATES` in config.h. - Incremented the version letter (v1.0c) to indicate the change in reporting style. - Replaced all bit_true_atomic and bit_false_atomic macros with function calls. This saved a couple hundred bytes of flash.

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.

v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

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.

if (!(sys.suspend & SUSPEND_JOG_CANCEL)) {
v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

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.

v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes. - New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in alarm state. - Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either. Fixed both issues. - While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No delays. - Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM calculations. Now fixed. - Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be stable, but need to monitor this carefully. - Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete. - Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the planner structs. - Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm. - Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some more details to the change summary.

Pin state reporting of all pins. Flash optimization. - New pin state realtime reporting feature. Instead of `Lim:000` for limit state reports, the new feature shows `Pin:000|0|0000`, or something similar. The `|` delimited fields indicate xyz limits, probe, and control pin states, where 0 is always not triggered, and 1 is triggered. Invert masks ARE accounted for. Each field may be enabled or disabled via the `$10` status report setting. The probe and control pin flags are bits 5 and 6, respectively. - Remove the now deprecated `REPORT_CONTROL_PIN_STATE` option in config.h - The old limit pin reports `Lim:000` may be re-enabled by commenting out `REPORT_ALL_PIN_STATES` in config.h. - Incremented the version letter (v1.0c) to indicate the change in reporting style. - Replaced all bit_true_atomic and bit_false_atomic macros with function calls. This saved a couple hundred bytes of flash.

#ifdef REPORT_FIELD_BUFFER_STATE
v1.1b: Tweaked Bf reports, jogging doc, saved another 160 bytes, minor bug fixes - Increment to v1.1b due to status report tweak. - Tweaked the buffer state status reports to show bytes and blocks available, rather than in use. This does not require knowing the buffer sizes beforehand. It’s implicit. - Also, since buffer states are not used by most devs (after inquiries), it is no longer enabled by default and a status mask option was added for this. - Fixed some typos and updated for the report tweak in the documentation. - Wrote a joystick implementation concept in the jogging markdown document. Outlines how to get a low-latency feel to a joystick (and other input devices). - Removed XON/XOFF support. It’s not used by anyone because of its inherent problems. Remains in older versions for reference. - Added a compile option on how to handle the probe position during a check mode. - Fixed a jogging bug. If G93 is the modal state before a jogging motion, the feed rate did not get calculated correctly. Fixed the issue. - Refactored some code to save another 160+ bytes. Included an improved float vector comparison macro and reducing a few large and repetitive function calls. - Fixed a probing bug (existing in v0.9 too) where the target positions were not set correct and error handling was improper.

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.

Addressed much larger flash size with avr-gcc v4.9.2. Refactored reports to save 160KB. - The newest Arduino IDE 1.6.12 has recently updated to avr-gcc v4.9.2. Unfortunately, it produces a compiled size almost 0.7KB to 1KB larger than prior versions! This can easily cause the base build to exceed the Arduino Duemilanove/Nano flash limit of 30.5KB. The Arduino Uno seems to be ok still with its 31.5KB flash limit. - Makefile `-flto` compile flag added to cut down on the horrible flash size when using the new avr-gcc. (Edit Makefile and remove comment on COMPILE definition). This brings it in-line with what the IDE produces. - Functionalized repetitive tasks in report.c to try to reduce overall flash size. Successfully cut down about 160bytes. - Removed printFloat_SettingValue() and printFloat_RPMValue() functions. These aren’t required and can be replaced with a direct call to printFloat() because they don’t require a unit conversion check.

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.

Limit/control pin state reporting option - As a setup feature, users can compile-in input pin status reporting. Doesn’t do anything special, just prints the binary for the port. 0’s and 1’s indicate low and high signals on the pins. It’s a bit cryptic right now, but it’s just a start. - Added a max step rate check when writing step/mm and max rate settings. Should help avoid people misdiagnosing problems associated with going over the 30kHz step rate limit. Right now not enabled. Takes up over 100k of flash. Need that room for other things right now.

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.
