Sonny Jeon 664854b9df Critical M0/2/30 fix. Homing updates.
- 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.

Grbl is a no-compromise, high performance, low cost alternative to parallel-port-based motion control for CNC milling. It will run on a vanilla Arduino (Duemillanove/Uno) as long as it sports an Atmega 328.

The controller is written in highly optimized C utilizing every clever feature of the AVR-chips to achieve precise timing and asynchronous operation. It is able to maintain up to 30kHz of stable, jitter free control pulses.

It accepts standards-compliant g-code and has been tested with the output of several CAM tools with no problems. Arcs, circles and helical motion are fully supported, as well as, all other primary g-code commands. Macro functions, variables, and most canned cycles are not supported, but we think GUIs can do a much better job at translating them into straight g-code anyhow.

Grbl includes full acceleration management with look ahead. That means the controller will look up to 18 motions into the future and plan its velocities ahead to deliver smooth acceleration and jerk-free cornering.

  • Licensing: Grbl is free software, released under the GPLv3 license.

##Update Summary for v0.9i from v0.9h

  • IMPORTANT:
    • Z-limit(D12) and spindle enable(D11) pins have switched to support variable spindle!
    • System tweaks: $14 cycle auto-start has been removed. No more QUEUE state.
  • New G-Codes: Additional probing cycle commands G38.3, G38.4, G38.5 now supported. G40 cutter radius compensation cancel. G91.1 arc IJK distance mode incremental.
  • CoreXY Support: Grbl now supports CoreXY kinematics on an introductory-level. Most functions have been verified to work, but there may be bugs here or there. Please report any problems you find!
  • Safety Door Support: Safety door switches are now supported. Grbl will force a feed hold, shutdown the spindle and coolant, and wait until the door switch has closed and the user has issued a resume. Upon resuming, the spindle and coolant will re-energize after a configurable delay and continue. Useful for OEMs that require this feature.
  • Full Limit and Control Pin Configurability: Limits and control pins operation can now be interpreted by Grbl however you'd like, with the internal pull-up resistors enabled or disabled, or reading a high or low as a trigger. This should cover all wiring and NO or NC switch scenarios.
  • Additional Compile-Time Feature Options: Limit/control pin state reporting, force power-up alarm state, GUI reporting mode, and more.
