Sonny Jeon ed790c9fa2 v1.1d: Tweaked interface a bit. Added realtime spindle speed and build option data. Minor bug fixes.
- Increment to v1.1d due to interface tweaks.

- Based on GUI dev feedback, the toggle overrides report was removed
and replace with showing “accessory state”. This shows a character if a
particular accessory is enabled, like the spindle or flood coolant.
These can be directly altered by the toggle overrides, so when they
execute, a GUI will be able to observe the state altering as feedback.

- Altered the real-time feed rate to show real-time spindle speed as
well. It was an over-sight on my part. It’s needed because it’s hard to
know what the current spindle speed is when overrides are altering it.
Especially during something like a laser cutting job when its important
to know how spindle speed overrides are effecting things.

- Real-time spindle speed is not shown if VARIABLE_SPINDLE is disabled.
The old real-time feed rate data field will show instead.

- Compile-time option data is now included in another message
immediately following the build info version string, starting with
`[OPT:`. A character code follows the data type name with each
indicating a particular option enabled or disabled. This will help
immensely with debugging Grbl as well as help GUIs know exactly how
Grbl was compiled.

- These interface changes are detailed in the updated documentation.

- Reduced the default planner buffer size from 17 to 16. Needed to free
up some memory…

- For increasing the serial TX buffer size from 90 to 104 bytes. The
addition of real-time spindle speeds and accessory enable data required
a bigger buffer. This is to ensure Grbl is performing at optimal levels.

- Refactored parts of the spindle and coolant control code to make it
more consistent to each other and how it was called. It was a little
messy. The changes made it easier to track what each function call was
doing based on what was calling it.

- Created a couple of new get_state functions for the spindle and
coolant. These are called by the accessory state report to look
directly at the pin state, rather than track how it was set. This
guarantees that the state is reported correctly.

- Updated the g-code parser, parking motion, sleep mode, and spindle
stop calls to refactored spindle and coolant code.

- Added a compile-time option to enable homing individual axes, rather
than having only the main homing cycle. The actual use case for this is
pretty rare. It’s not recommended you enable this, unless you have a
specific application for it. Otherwise, just alter the homing cycle
itself.

- Refactored the printFloat() function to not show a decimal point if
there are no trailing values after it. For example, `1.` now shows `1`.

- Fixed an issue regarding spindle speed overrides no being applied to
blocks without motions.

- Removed the toggle_ovr_mask system variable and replaced with
spindle_stop_ovr system variable. Coolant toggles don’t need to be
tracked.

- Updated README

Sonny Jeon d1037268c8 v1.1c: New sleep mode. Laser mode and other bug fixes.
- New $SLP sleep mode that will disable spindle, coolant, and stepper
enable pins. Allows users to disable their steppers without having to
alter their settings. A reset is required to exit and re-initializes in
alarm state.

- Laser mode wasn’t updating the spindle PWM correctly (effected
spindle speed overrides) and not checking for modal states either.
Fixed both issues.

- While in laser mode, parking motions are ignored, since the power off
delay with the retract motion would burn the material. It will just
turn off and not move. A restore immediately powers up and resumes. No
delays.

- Changing rpm max and min settings did not update the spindle PWM
calculations. Now fixed.

- Increased default planner buffer from 16 to 17 block. It seems to be
stable, but need to monitor this carefully.

- Removed software debounce routine for limit pins. Obsolete.

- Fixed a couple parking motion bugs. One related to restoring
incorrectly and the other the parking rate wasn’t compatible with the
planner structs.

- Fixed a bug caused by refactoring the critical alarms in a recent
push. Soft limits weren’t invoking a critical alarm.

- Updated the documentation with the new sleep feature and added some
more details to the change summary.

chamnit 12f48a008a Grbl v1.0e huge beta release. Overrides and new reporting.
- Feature: Realtime feed, rapid, and spindle speed overrides. These
alter the running machine state within tens of milliseconds!
    - Feed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values 1-200% of
programmed feed
    - Rapid override: 100%, 50%, 25% rapid rate commands
    - Spindle speed override: 100%, +/-10%, +/-1% commands with values
50-200% of programmed speed
    - Override values have configurable limits and increments in
config.h.
- Feature: Realtime toggle overrides for spindle stop, flood coolant,
and optionally mist coolant
    - Spindle stop: Enables and disables spindle during a feed hold.
Automatically restores last spindles state.
    - Flood and mist coolant: Immediately toggles coolant state until
next toggle or g-code coolant command.
- Feature: Jogging mode! Incremental and absolute modes supported.
    - Grbl accepts jogging-specific commands like $J=X100F50. An axis
word and feed rate are required. G20/21 and G90/G91 commands are
accepted.
    - Jog motions can be canceled at any time by a feed hold `!`
command. The buffer is automatically flushed. (No resetting required).
    - Jog motions do not alter the g-code parser state so GUIs don’t
have to track what they changed and correct it.
- Feature: Laser mode setting. Allows Grbl to execute continuous
motions with spindle speed and state changes.
- Feature: Significantly improved status reports. Overhauled to cram in
more meaningful data and still make it smaller on average.
    - All available data is now sent by default, but does not appear if
it doesn’t change or is not active.
    - Machine position(MPos) or work position(WPos) is reported but not
both at the same time. Instead, the work coordinate offsets (WCO)are
sent intermittently whenever it changes or refreshes after 10-30 status
reports. Position vectors are easily computed by WPos  = MPos - WCO.
    - All data has changed in some way. Details of changes are in the
markdown documents and wiki.
- Feature: 16 new realtime commands to control overrides. All in
extended-ASCII character space.
    - While they are not easily typeable and requires a GUI, they can’t
be accidentally triggered by some latent character in the g-code
program and have tons of room for expansion.
- Feature: New substates for HOLD and SAFETY DOOR. A `:x` is appended
to the state, where `x` is an integer and indicates a substate.
    - For example, each integer of a door state describes in what phase
the machine is in during parking. Substates are detailed in the
documentation.
- Feature: With the alarm codes, homing and probe alarms have been
expanded with more codes to provide more exact feedback on what caused
the alarm.
- Feature: New hard limit check upon power-up or reset. If detected, a
feedback message to check the limit switches sent immediately after the
welcome message.
    - May be disabled in config.h.

- OEM feature: Enable/disable `$RST=` individual commands based on
desired behavior in config.h.
- OEM feature: Configurable EEPROM wipe to prevent certain data from
being deleted during firmware upgrade to a new settings version or
`RST=*` command.
- OEM feature: Enable/disable the `$I=` build info write string with
external EEPROM write example sketch.
    - This prevents a user from altering the build info string in
EEPROM. This requires the vendor to write the string to EEPROM via
external means. An Arduino example sketch is provided to accomplish
this. This would be useful for contain product data that is
retrievable.

- Tweak: All feedback has been drastically trimmed to free up flash
space for the v1.0 release.
    - The `$` help message is just one string, listing available
commands.
    - The `$$` settings printout no longer includes descriptions. Only
the setting values. (Sorry it’s this or remove overrides!)
    - Grbl `error:` and `ALARM:` responses now only contain codes. No
descriptions. All codes are explained in documentation.
    - Grbl’s old feedback style may be restored via a config.h, but
keep in mind that it will likely not fit into the Arduino’s flash space.
- Tweak: Grbl now forces a buffer sync or stop motion whenever a g-code
command needs to update and write a value to EEPROM or changes the work
coordinate offset.
    - This addresses two old issues in all prior Grbl versions. First,
an EEPROM write requires interrupts to be disabled, including stepper
and serial comm. Steps can be lost and data can be corrupted. Second,
the work position may not be correlated to the actual machine position,
since machine position is derived from the actual current execution
state, while work position is based on the g-code parser offset state.
They are usually not in sync and the parser state is several motions
behind. This forced sync ensures work and machine positions are always
correct.
    - This behavior can be disabled through a config.h option, but it’s
not recommended to do so.
- Tweak: To make status reports standardized, users can no longer
change what is reported via status report mask, except for only
toggling machine or work positions.
    - All other data fields are included in the report and can only be
disabled through the config.h file. It’s not recommended to alter this,
because GUIs will be expecting this data to be present and may not be
compatible.
- Tweak: Homing cycle and parking motion no longer report a negative
line number in a status report. These will now not report a line number
at all.
- Tweak: New `[Restoring spindle]` message when restoring from a
spindle stop override. Provides feedback what Grbl is doing while the
spindle is powering up and a 4.0 second delay is enforced.
- Tweak: Override values are reset to 100% upon M2/30. This behavior
can be disabled in config.h
- Tweak: The planner buffer size has been reduced from 18 to 16 to free
up RAM for tracking and controlling overrides.
- Tweak: TX buffer size has been increased from 64 to 90 bytes to
improve status reporting and overall performance.
- Tweak: Removed the MOTION CANCEL state. It was redundant and didn’t
affect Grbl’s overall operation by doing so.
- Tweak: Grbl’s serial buffer increased by +1 internally, such that 128
bytes means 128, not 127 due to the ring buffer implementation. Long
overdue.
- Tweak: Altered sys.alarm variable to be set by alarm codes, rather
than bit flags. Simplified how it worked overall.
- Tweak: Planner buffer and serial RX buffer usage has been combined in
the status reports.
- Tweak: Pin state reporting has been refactored to report only the
pins “triggered” and nothing when not “triggered”.
- Tweak: Current machine rate or speed is now included in every report.
- Tweak: The work coordinate offset (WCO) and override states only need
to be refreshed intermittently or reported when they change. The
refresh rates may be altered for each in the config.h file with
different idle and busy rates to lessen Grbl’s load during a job.
- Tweak: For temporary compatibility to existing GUIs until they are
updated, an option to revert back to the old style status reports is
available in config.h, but not recommended for long term use.
- Tweak: Removed old limit pin state reporting option from config.h in
lieu of new status report that includes them.
- Tweak: Updated the defaults.h file to include laser mode, altered
status report mask, and fix an issue with a missing invert probe pin
default.

- Refactor: Changed how planner line data is generated and passed to
the planner and onto the step generator. By making it a struct
variable, this saved significant flash space.
- Refactor: Major re-factoring of the planner to incorporate override
values and allow for re-calculations fast enough to immediately take
effect during operation. No small feat.
- Refactor: Re-factored the step segment generator for re-computing new
override states.
- Refactor: Re-factored spindle_control.c to accommodate the spindle
speed overrides and laser mode.
- Refactor: Re-factored parts of the codebase for a new jogging mode.
Still under development though and slated to be part of the official
v1.0 release. Hang tight.
- Refactor: Created functions for computing a unit vector and value
limiting based on axis maximums to free up more flash.
- Refactor: The spindle PWM is now set directly inside of the stepper
ISR as it loads new step segments.
- Refactor: Moved machine travel checks out of soft limits function
into its own since jogging uses this too.
- Refactor: Removed coolant_stop() and combined with
coolant_set_state().
- Refactor: The serial RX ISR forks off extended ASCII values to
quickly assess the new override realtime commands.
- Refactor: Altered some names of the step control flags.
- Refactor: Improved efficiency of the serial RX get buffer count
function.
- Refactor: Saved significant flash by removing and combining print
functions. Namely the uint8 base10 and base2 functions.
- Refactor: Moved the probe state check in the main stepper ISR to
improve its efficiency.
- Refactor: Single character printPgmStrings() went converted to direct
serial_write() commands to save significant flash space.

- Documentation: Detailed Markdown documents on error codes, alarm
codes, messages, new real-time commands, new status reports, and how
jogging works. More to come later and will be posted on the Wiki as
well.
- Documentation: CSV files for quick importing of Grbl error and alarm
codes.

- Bug Fix: Applied v0.9 master fixes to CoreXY homing.
- Bug Fix: The print float function would cause Grbl to crash if a
value was 1e6 or greater. Increased the buffer by 3 bytes to help
prevent this in the future.
- Bug Fix: Build info and startup string EEPROM restoring was not
writing the checksum value.
- Bug Fix: Corrected an issue with safety door restoring the proper
spindle and coolant state. It worked before, but breaks with laser mode
that can continually change spindle state per planner block.
- Bug Fix: Move system position and probe position arrays out of the
system_t struct. Ran into some compiling errors that were hard to track
down as to why. Moving them out fixed it.

Sonny Jeon 0746a5a1d7 Organizational updates. Mega2560 support moved.
- Mega2560 support has been moved to the Grbl-Mega
[project](http://github.com/gnea/grbl-Mega/) to clean up the code and
make future developments easier with increased flash and RAM. All new
developments between the 328p and Mega2560 will be synced when it makes
sense to.

- OEM single file compile configuration option. Before OEMs needed to
alter three files. Provided a way to just alter the config.h file to
contain everything for a particular Grbl build. See config.h for more
details.

- Removed defaults and cpu_map directories and reverted back to
defaults.h and cpu_map.h to contain all definitions. This should help
reduce some headaches and the previous implementation inadvertently
created. Also, it makes the single file config.h possible.

- Moved (and tweaked) the invert control pin mask define and placed
into config.h, rather than in the cpu_map.h file. Makes more sense
there.
2016-03-30 11:58:47 -06:00
Sonny Jeon 993c83d1c8 Moved cpu_map.
- Moved cpu_map files to a cpu_map directory, like the defaults file
organization.

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.

Sonny Jeon 8c9fc7943e Homing alarm upon no switch. Licensing update.
- Homing cycle failure reports alarm feedback when the homing cycle is
exited via a reset, interrupted by a safety door switch, or does not
find the limit switch.

- Homing cycle bug fix when not finding the limit switch. It would just
idle before, but now will exit with an alarm.

- Licensing update. Corrected licensing according to lawyer
recommendations. Removed references to other Grbl versions.

Rob Brown fe16b7db5c Safety Door Update for Mega2560 2015-02-13 16:17:07 +08:00
Sonny Jeon 4bdc20ffb9 Overhauled state machine. New safety door feature.
- Overhauled the state machine and cleaned up its overall operation.
This involved creating a new ‘suspend’ state for what all external
commands, except real-time commands, are ignored. All hold type states
enter this suspend state.

- Removed ‘auto cycle start’ setting from Grbl. This was not used by
users in its intended way and is somewhat redundant, as GUI manage the
cycle start by streaming. It also muddled up how Grbl should interpret
how and when to execute a g-code block. Removing it made everything
much much simpler.

- Fixed a program pause bug when used with other buffer_sync commands.

- New safety door feature for OEMs. Immediately forces a feed hold and
then de-energizes the machine. Resuming is blocked until the door is
closed. When it is, it re-energizes the system and then resumes on the
normal toolpath.

- Safety door input pin is optional and uses the feed hold pin on A1.
Enabled by config.h define.

- Spindle and coolant re-energizing upon a safety door resume has a
programmable delay time to allow for complete spin up to rpm and
turning on the coolant before resuming motion.

- Safety door-style feed holds can be used instead of regular feed hold
(doesn’t de-energize the machine) with a ‘@‘ character. If the safety
door input pin is not enabled, the system can be resumed at any time.
2015-02-11 21:19:00 -07:00
Sonny Jeon b237ad566a File re-organization. New Makefile.
- Re-organized source code files into a ‘grbl’ directory to lessen one
step in compiling Grbl through the Arduino IDE.

- Added an ‘examples’ directory with an upload .INO sketch to further
simplify compiling and uploading Grbl via the Arduino IDE.

- Updated the Makefile with regard to the source code no longer being
in the root directory. All files generated by compiling is placed in a
separate ‘build’ directory to keep things tidy. The makefile should
operate in the same way as it did before.
