Grbl - An embedded rs274/ngc (g-code) interpreter, cartesian bot controller, readout and exerciser for the AVR series of microcontrollers.
Inspired by the Arduino GCode Interpreter by Mike Ellery
Status:
* Linear interpolation machine control complete (No arcs yet)
* GCode interpreter complete
* Basic serial protocol complete
* As of yet completely untested in a real environemnt. Still waiting for my micRo kit from Lumenlab.com
Goals:
* Runs on the atmega168
* Runs on a standard Arduino
* Suitable for both milling and deposition fabrication
* Support GCode from common free and cheap CAM-packages right out of the box
* Optional support for a alphanumeric LCD readout, a joystick and a few buttons for program control
* Optional support for automated cutter length calibration when milling
* Support "headless" fabrication by buffering all code to SD-card or similar
Limitations:
* Limited GCode-support. Focus on the kind of GCode produced by CAM tools. Leave human GCoders frustrated.
* No rotation axes, only x,y and z.
