This // would be better handled by the interface as a post-processor task, where the original g-code // is translated and inserts backlash motions that best suits the machine. // NOTE: Perhaps as a middle-ground, all that needs to be sent is a flag or special command that // indicates to Grbl what is a backlash compensation motion, so that Grbl executes the move but // doesn't update the machine position values.

Solution approach by Jens Geisler. r_T = [cos(phi) -sin(phi); sin(phi) cos(phi] * r ; For arc generation, the center of the circle is the axis of rotation and the radius vector is defined from the circle center to the initial position. Each line segment is formed by successive vector rotations. Single precision values can accumulate error greater than tool precision in some cases. So, exact arc path correction is implemented. This approach avoids the problem of too many very expensive trig operations [sin(),cos(),tan()] which can take 100-200 usec each to compute. Small angle approximation may be used to reduce computation overhead further. A third-order approximation (second order sin() has too much error) holds for nearly all CNC applications, except for possibly very small radii (~0.5mm). In other words, theta_per_segment would need to be greater than 0.25 rad(14 deg) and N_ARC_CORRECTION would need to be large to cause an appreciable drift error (>5% of radius, for very small radii, 5% of 0.5mm is very, very small). N_ARC_CORRECTION~=20 should be more than small enough to correct for numerical drift error. Also decreasing the tolerance will improve the approximation too. This approximation also allows mc_arc to immediately insert a line segment into the planner without the initial overhead of computing cos() or sin(). By the time the arc needs to be applied a correction, the planner should have caught up to the lag caused by the initial mc_arc overhead. This is important when there are successive arc motions. */ // Computes: cos_T = 1 - theta_per_segment^2/2, sin_T = theta_per_segment - theta_per_segment^3/6) in ~52usec float cos_T = 2.0 - theta_per_segment*theta_per_segment; float sin_T = theta_per_segment*0.16666667*(cos_T + 4.0); cos_T *= 0.5; float arc_target[N_AXIS]; float sin_Ti; float cos_Ti; float r_axisi; uint16_t i; uint8_t count = 0; // Initialize the linear axis arc_target[axis_linear] = position[axis_linear]; for (i = 1; i 0) { // NOTE: Check and execute runtime commands during dwell every <= DWELL_TIME_STEP milliseconds. protocol_execute_runtime(); if (sys.abort) { return; } _delay_ms(DWELL_TIME_STEP); // Delay DWELL_TIME_STEP increment } } // Perform homing cycle to locate and set machine zero.
