Grbl - An embedded rs274/ngc (g-code) interpreter and motion-controller for the Arduino/AVR328 microcontroller
The goal: A no-compromise, high performance, low cost alternative to parallel-port based motion control for CNC milling
Grbl - an open source, embedded high performance g-code-parser and CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on a straight Arduino.
Documentation: http://dank.bengler.no/-/page/show/5470_grbl
Status:
* Ready for production, but probably rough around the edges still
@ -12,6 +13,11 @@ Status:
* Configuration parameters stored in EEPROM and set via simple commands
* Tested on very few (two) CNC rigs
Limitations by design:
* Limited GCode-support. Focus on the kind of GCode produced by CAM tools. Leave human GCoders frustrated.
* No support for tool offsets (typically handled by CAM-tool)
* No rotation axes, only x, y and z.
Prioritized to-do:
* Accelleration/decelleration
* Spindle control

* Support for a alphanumeric LCD readout, a joystick and a few buttons for program control
* Support "headless" fabrication by buffering all code to SD-card or similar

The project was initially inspired by the Arduino GCode Interpreter by Mike Ellery
