- Critical fix for M0 program pause. Due to its recent change, it would
cause Grbl to suspend but wouldn’t notify the user of why Grbl was not
doing anything. The state would show IDLE and a cycle start would
resume it. Grbl now enters a HOLD state to better indicate the state
change.
- Critical fix for M2 and M30 program end. As with M0, the state
previously would show IDLE while suspended. Grbl now does not suspend
upon program end and leaves job control to the GUI. Grbl simply reports
a `[Pgm End]` as a feedback message and resets certain g-code modes.
- M2/30 g-code reseting fix. Previously Grbl would soft-reset after an
M2/30, but this was not complaint to the (linuxcnc) g-code standard. It
simply resets [G1,G17,G90,G94,G40,G54,M5,M9,M48] and keeps all other
modes the same.
- M0/M2/M30 check-mode fix. It now does not suspend the machine during
check-mode.
- Minor bug fix related to commands similar to G90.1, but not G90.1,
not reporting an unsupported command.
- Homing cycle refactoring. To help reduce the chance of users
misunderstanding their limit switch wiring, Grbl only moves a short
distance for the locate cycles only. In addition, the homing cycle
pulls-off the limit switch by the pull-off distance to re-engage and
locate home. This should improve its accuracy.
- HOMING_FORCE_ORIGIN now sets the origin to the pull-off location,
rather than where the limit switch was triggered.
- Updated default junction deviation to 0.01mm. Recent tests showed
that this improves Grbl’s cornering behavior a bit.
- Added the ShapeOko3 defaults.
- Added new feedback message `[Pgm End]` for M2/30 notification.
- Limit pin reporting is now a $10 status report option. Requested by
OEMs to help simplify support troubleshooting.
- Commit history added to repo, as an easier way for people to see view
the changes over time.
- Grbl logo copyright license added. All rights reserved with regards
to the Grbl logo.
- G2/3 full circles would sometime not execute. The problem was due to
numerical round-off of a trig calculation. Added a machine epsilon
define to help detect and correct for this problem. Tested and should
not effect general operation of arcs.
- Added a grbl planner simulation tool that was written in Matlab and
Python. It was used to visualize the inner workings of the planner as a
program is streamed to it. The simulation assumes that the planner
buffer is empty, then filled, and kept filled. This is mainly for users
to see how the planner works.
- Updated some of the compile-time ifdefs when enabling line numbers.
The leaving the un-used line numbers in the function calls eats a
non-neglible amount of flash memory. So the new if-defs remove them.
- ALPHA status. - Multitasking ability with run-time command executions
for real-time control and feedback. - Decelerating feed hold and resume
during operation. - System abort/reset, which immediately kills all
movement and re-initializes grbl. - Re-structured grbl to easily allow
for new features: Status reporting, jogging, backlash compensation. (To
be completed in the following releases.) - Resized TX/RX serial buffers
(32/128 bytes) - Increased planner buffer size to 20 blocks. - Updated
documentation.
