Grbl - An embedded rs274/ngc (g-code) interpreter and motion-controller for the Arduino/AVR328 microcontroller 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

Pending: Prioritized to-do:
* Battle hardening in the field * Accelleration/decelleration
* Documentation and web-site
* Optional 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
* Easing of feed rate
* Spindle control * Spindle control
* Autodetect baud rate
* Arduino IDE compatible (build and flash)

Limitations by design: Limitations by design:
* Limited GCode-support. Focus on the kind of GCode produced by CAM tools. Leave human GCoders frustrated. * Limited GCode-support. Focus on the kind of GCode produced by CAM tools. Leave human GCoders frustrated.
