- New pin state realtime reporting feature. Instead of `Lim:000` for
limit state reports, the new feature shows `Pin:000|0|0000`, or
something similar. The `|` delimited fields indicate xyz limits, probe,
and control pin states, where 0 is always not triggered, and 1 is
triggered. Invert masks ARE accounted for.
Each field may be enabled or disabled via the `$10` status report
setting. The probe and control pin flags are bits 5 and 6, respectively.
- Remove the now deprecated `REPORT_CONTROL_PIN_STATE` option in
config.h
- The old limit pin reports `Lim:000` may be re-enabled by commenting
out `REPORT_ALL_PIN_STATES` in config.h.
- Incremented the version letter (v1.0c) to indicate the change in
reporting style.
- Replaced all bit_true_atomic and bit_false_atomic macros with
function calls. This saved a couple hundred bytes of flash.
- G38.x was not printing correctly in the $G g-code state reports. Now
fixed.
- Potential bug regarding volatile variables inside a struct. It has
never been a problem in v0.9, but ran into this during v1.0
development. Just to be safe, the fixes are applied here.
- Updated pre-built firmwares with these two bug fixes.
- Homing cycle failure reports alarm feedback when the homing cycle is
exited via a reset, interrupted by a safety door switch, or does not
find the limit switch.
- Homing cycle bug fix when not finding the limit switch. It would just
idle before, but now will exit with an alarm.
- Licensing update. Corrected licensing according to lawyer
recommendations. Removed references to other Grbl versions.
- Overhauled the state machine and cleaned up its overall operation.
This involved creating a new ‘suspend’ state for what all external
commands, except real-time commands, are ignored. All hold type states
enter this suspend state.
- Removed ‘auto cycle start’ setting from Grbl. This was not used by
users in its intended way and is somewhat redundant, as GUI manage the
cycle start by streaming. It also muddled up how Grbl should interpret
how and when to execute a g-code block. Removing it made everything
much much simpler.
- Fixed a program pause bug when used with other buffer_sync commands.
- New safety door feature for OEMs. Immediately forces a feed hold and
then de-energizes the machine. Resuming is blocked until the door is
closed. When it is, it re-energizes the system and then resumes on the
normal toolpath.
- Safety door input pin is optional and uses the feed hold pin on A1.
Enabled by config.h define.
- Spindle and coolant re-energizing upon a safety door resume has a
programmable delay time to allow for complete spin up to rpm and
turning on the coolant before resuming motion.
- Safety door-style feed holds can be used instead of regular feed hold
(doesn’t de-energize the machine) with a ‘@‘ character. If the safety
door input pin is not enabled, the system can be resumed at any time.
- Re-organized source code files into a ‘grbl’ directory to lessen one
step in compiling Grbl through the Arduino IDE.
- Added an ‘examples’ directory with an upload .INO sketch to further
simplify compiling and uploading Grbl via the Arduino IDE.
- Updated the Makefile with regard to the source code no longer being
in the root directory. All files generated by compiling is placed in a
separate ‘build’ directory to keep things tidy. The makefile should
operate in the same way as it did before.
