Sungeun Jeon ed29d8a122 New compile options and inverse time bug fix. 
- Apparently inverse time motion were not working for quite some time.
Goes to show how many people actually use it. The calculation was bad
and is now fixed in this update. It should now work correctly.

- `;` comment type is now supported. This is standard on LinuxCNC and
common on 3d printers. It was previously not supported due to not
existing in the NIST standard, which is out-dated.

- New compile-option to ECHO the line received. This should help users
experiencing very weird problems and help diagnose if there is
something amiss in the communication to Grbl.

- New compile-option to use the spindle direction pin D13 as a spindle
enable pin with PWM spindle speed on D11. This feature has been
requested often from the laser cutter community. Since spindle
direction isn’t really of much use, it seemed like good good trade.
Note that M4 spindle enable counter-clock-wise support is removed for
obvious reasons, while M3 and M5 still work.

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.
