- Apparently inverse time motion were not working for quite some time.
Goes to show how many people actually use it. The calculation was bad
and is now fixed in this update. It should now work correctly.
- `;` comment type is now supported. This is standard on LinuxCNC and
common on 3d printers. It was previously not supported due to not
existing in the NIST standard, which is out-dated.
- New compile-option to ECHO the line received. This should help users
experiencing very weird problems and help diagnose if there is
something amiss in the communication to Grbl.
- New compile-option to use the spindle direction pin D13 as a spindle
enable pin with PWM spindle speed on D11. This feature has been
requested often from the laser cutter community. Since spindle
direction isn’t really of much use, it seemed like good good trade.
Note that M4 spindle enable counter-clock-wise support is removed for
obvious reasons, while M3 and M5 still work.
- 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.
- 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.
