Sonny Jeon 5eee10845b Pin state reporting of all pins. Flash optimization. 
- New pin state realtime reporting feature. Instead of `Lim:000` for
limit state reports, the new feature shows `Pin:000|0|0000`, or
something similar. The `|` delimited fields indicate xyz limits, probe,
and control pin states, where 0 is always not triggered, and 1 is
triggered. Invert masks ARE accounted for.
  Each field may be enabled or disabled via the `$10` status report
setting. The probe and control pin flags are bits 5 and 6, respectively.

- Remove the now deprecated `REPORT_CONTROL_PIN_STATE` option in
config.h

- The old limit pin reports `Lim:000` may be re-enabled by commenting
out `REPORT_ALL_PIN_STATES` in config.h.

- Incremented the version letter (v1.0c) to indicate the change in
reporting style.

- Replaced all bit_true_atomic and bit_false_atomic macros with
function calls. This saved a couple hundred bytes of flash.

This is the development branch for Grbl v1.0's upcoming release. In general, the new features here are beta, so use with caution. If you'd like to help, please report any bugs or oddities that you find! Thanks!

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.

##Update Summary for v1.0c

  • IMPORTANT: Your EEPROM will be wiped and restored with new settings. This is due to the addition of two new spindle speed '$' settings.

  • Altered limit pin status reports from Lim:000 to Pin:000|0|0000, where the | delimiters separate the new probe state and control pin states. Each new field may be disabled by the $10 Grbl setting. NOTE: Commenting REPORT_ALL_PIN_STATES in config.h reverts to old Lim: reports, if needed.

  • New safety door parking motion as a compile-option. Grbl will retract, disable the spindle/coolant, and park near Z max. When resumed, it will perform these task in reverse order and continue the program. Highly configurable. See config.h for details.

  • New '$' Grbl settings for max and min spindle rpm. Allows for tweaking the PWM output to more closely match true spindle rpm. When max rpm is set to zero or less than min rpm, the PWM pin D11 will act like a simple enable on/off output.

  • Updated G28 and G30 behavior from NIST to LinuxCNC g-code description. In short, if a intermediate motion is specified, only the axes specified will move to the stored coordinates, not all axes as before.

  • A few bug fixes and lots of refactoring to make the code more efficient and flexible.
