Status:
|
|
|
|
|
* Linear interpolation machine control complete (No arcs yet)
|
|
|
|
|
* GCode interpreter complete
|
|
|
|
|
* Basic serial protocol complete
|
|
|
|
|
* As of yet completely untested in a real environemnt. Still waiting for my micRo kit from Lumenlab.com

Goals:
|
2009-01-26 09:35:23 +01:00
|
|
|
* Runs on the atmega168
|
2009-01-27 11:22:04 +01:00
|
|
|
* Runs on a standard Arduino
|
2009-01-27 11:30:23 +01:00
|
|
|
* Suitable for both milling and deposition fabrication (e.g. RepRap)
|
2009-01-25 00:48:56 +01:00
|
|
|
* Support GCode from common free and cheap CAM-packages right out of the box
|
|
|
|
|
* Optional support for a alphanumeric LCD readout, a joystick and a few buttons for program control
|
|
|
|
|
* Optional support for automated cutter length calibration when milling
|
|
|
|
|
* Support "headless" fabrication by buffering all code to SD-card or similar
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Limitations:
|
2009-01-27 11:22:04 +01:00
|
|
|
* Limited GCode-support. Focus on the kind of GCode produced by CAM tools. Leave human GCoders frustrated.
|
|
|
|
|
* No rotation axes, only x,y and z.
