- Variable spindle speed output as a configuration option. Thanks
@EliteEng! When enabled, the Z-limit (D11) and spindle enable(D12) pins
switch to allow access to the hardware PWM output on pin D11.
Otherwise, everything should work as it does.
- Removed option for inverting the spindle and coolant enable pins.
This is a safety hazard, especially for the spindle. When Grbl
initializes, all pins are momentarily low until it finishes booting. If
an invert is enabled, this means the spindles can be energized briefly
during this time. If users need signal inversion, it’s recommended to
just wire in an inversion circuit instead.
- Cleared out references to spindle variable output in terms of step
signal. This isn’t complete and requires more deliberation before
installing.
- Cleared up and cleaned up some code and config comments.
- Homing travel calculations fixed. It was computing the min travel
rather than max.
- Auto-start disable and pausing after spindle or dwell commands.
Related to plan_synchronize() function call. Now fixed, but still need
to work on the system state.
- Pushed a fix to make this branch more Arduino IDE compatible. Removed
extern call in nuts_bolts.c
- Updated the stepper configuration option of enabling or disabling the
new Adaptive Multi-Axis Step Smoothing Algorithm. Now works either way.
- Updated some copyright info.
NOTE: Another incremental update. Likely buggy, still a ways to go
before everything is installed, such as startup blocks.
- Changed the '$' command to print help. '$$' now prints Grbl settings.
The help now instructs the user of runtime commands, switch toggling,
homing, etc. Jogging will be added to these in v0.9.
- Added switches: block delete, opt stop, and single block mode.
- Now can print the g-code parser state and persistent parameters
(coord sys) to view what Grbl has internally.
- Made the gc struct in the g-code parser global to be able to print
the states. Also moved coordinate system tracking from sys to gc struct.
- Changed up the welcome flag and updated version to v0.8c.
- Removed spindle speed from gcode parser. Not used.
- Added coolant control! Flood control (M8) functions on analog pin 0.
Mist control (M7) is compile-time optional and is on analog pin 1. (Use
only if you have multiple coolants on your system). Based on work by
@openpnp.
- Fixed some variable assignments in spindle control.
