The general structure of Grbl
=============================
The main processing stack:
2011-02-19 00:32:36 +01:00
'protocol' : Accepts command lines from the serial port and passes them to 'gcode' for execution.
Provides status responses for each command.
'gcode' : Recieves gcode from 'protocol', parses it according to the current state
of the parser and issues commands via '..._control' modules
'spindle_control' : Commands for controlling the spindle.
'motion_control' : Accepts motion commands from 'gcode' and passes them to the 'planner'. This module
represents the public interface of the planner/stepper duo.
'planner' : Recieves linear motion commands from 'motion_control' and adds them to the plan of
prepared motions. It takes care of continously optimizing the acceleration profile
as motions are added.
'stepper' : Executes the motions by stepping the steppers according to the plan.
Supporting files:
'config.h' : Compile time user settings
'settings' : Maintains the run time settings record in eeprom and makes it availible
to all modules.
'eeprom' : A library from Atmel that provides methods for reading and writing the eeprom with
a small addition from us that read and write binary streams with check sums used
to verify validity of the settings record.
'nuts_bolts.h' : A tiny collection of useful constants and macros used everywhere
'serial' : Low level serial communications
