Goals:
* Runs on the atmega168
* Runs on a standard Arduino
* Suitable for both milling and deposition fabrication (e.g. RepRap)
* 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
Status: Status:
* Runs on atmega168/arduino. * Runs on atmega168/arduino.

* Runs on real hardware, pulses verified on scope. Not tested on actual stepper motors. Still waiting for my micRo kit from Lumenlab.com * Stepper pulses verified on scope and tested with stepper motors, motion and rates verified with simulator,

Pending:
* 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
* Smooth feed rate interpolation
Limitations: Limitations:
* 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.
