Fix for some G65 arguments being incorrectly validated for normal use (sign, range).
Added repeat support to G65 macro call via the optional L parameter word.
Changed default setting for ABC-axes to rotary.
Changed defaults for jerk settings to 10x acceleration settings.
Disabled jerk for jog, probe and spindle synchronized motion.
Added _active_probe system parameter, returns -1 if no probe inputs available.
Minor bug fix, G5.1 and G33.1 motion commands were not coverted to the correct string equivalent in $G output.
Added ADC/DAC resolution to $pinstate command, changed reported values to integer for ADC/DAC devices and float formatted for PWM devices.
Numeric settings can now be set via G65P1Q<n>S<value>, <n> is the setting number, <value> is the new value.
Changed alarm code for Modbus exceptions (communication errors) from 14 to 19.
Refactored MPG stream code to allow plugins to hook into MPG streams (via event handler).
Added _free memory system parameter, returns value in KBytes or -1 if not available from driver.
Changed basic stream data type from char to uint8_t, added HAL function and core API for releasing/closing UART streams.
Moved probe signal handling from drivers to the core, improved handling of probe disconnected signal.
NOTE: The changes above are quite large, please verify probe operation after installation.
Some minor bug fixes such as incorrect error code returned for unknown $-commands and temporary incorrect position reporting on in-flight G92 offset changes.
Moved inbuilt G65 macros to the core and added macro G65P5Q<n> for selecting probe.
Added probe id to real time report: |P:<n> will be reported on probe select when more than one probe is available.
Fix for WCO and Ov real time status report elements not beeing reported as they should in some circumstances.
these instead of calling via hal.port functions or accessing hal.port properties.
Improved the ioports API, updated core code to make use of it.
Flagged some calls and (part of) some stuctures as deprecated.
new HAL entry point for querying/resetting driver status.
Added driver capability flags and settings, $742 - $745, for enabling and inverting motor warning and fault input signals (per axis).
Improved jerk acceleration. Ref. PR #660.
Some low-level ioport improvements, added definition for virtual pins/ports.
Deprecated direct access to number of the different ioport ports in hal.port struct, use ioports_unclaimed() instead.
Added code guards in order to free some memory for STM32F103 variants with 128K flash.
Changed Stop (0x19) real-time command behaviour, active tool offset and coordinate system will now be kept. Ref. issue #610.
(probe input pullup disable) settings from boolean to bitfield when driver support is available.
Added a few default values for settings in config.h, overridable from the compiler command line.
Added core support for per axis pulloff distance, needs plugin for configuring them.
Added HAL flags for disabling settings for MCU input pins pullup disable, may be set by
drivers/boards that has buffered (optocoupled) inputs that is not possible to change.
Added definitions for up to four additional digital aux I/O ports.
Added real time report of selected spindle in multi spindle configurations. Reported on changes only.
Removed limits override input invert config, for safety reasons it is always active low.
Added HAL entry points for second RGB channel, renamed first from hal.rgb to hal.rgb0.
Added option to setting $22 to force use of limit switches for homing when homing inputs are available in the driver/board combo.
Improved handling of aux I/O pins when claimed for core functions.
Added flag to $9 for disabling laser mode capability for primary PWM spindle. Allows leaving laser mode enabled when a secondary PWM spindle is available and this is used to control a laser.
Added some generic setting definitions for stepper drivers, currently used by the motors plugin.
Fixed incorrect reporting of feed rate modes in $G response.
Added some ioPorts call wrappers, full support for reconfiguring output auxillary pins for PWM output.
The change is major and potentially dangerous, it may damage your probe, so please verify correct operation after installing.
Fix for STM32F4xx issue 161, Ethernet connection unresponsive if USB port not powered.
Enhanced ioPorts interface: New debounce option for input pins that are interrupt capable, currently only possible to enable via plugin code - later to be made available via a $-setting.
Added some wrapper functions for simpler plugin code++
Added simple task scheduler to the core, allows interrupt routines to dispatch jobs to the foreground process, delayed tasks and repeating tasks attached to the 1 ms system timer.
Some drivers and plugins now uses the scheduler for input pin debouncing, regular polling etc. The core uses it for stepper disabling and sleep monitoring.
Allowed use of unused (by the core) axis words (ABCUVW) in M-code commands implemented by plugin code.
Added $PINSTATE command, for outputting auxillary pin states, modes and capabilities. Machine readable formatting.
Implemented handling of single block, block delete and optional stop disable control signal events.
Added help for $S (single block), $B (block delete) and $O (optional stop disable) commands.
Added optional HAL entry point for outputting WRGB values to lights such as neopixels.
Improved $-commands registration to make it easier to add help text.
NOTE: this is a relatively large change and may have introduced bugs and/or unintended side-effects. Please report any issues!
Added setting $519 for binding spindle encoder to given spindle in multi spindle configurations.
Added machine readable spindle enumeration report, $SPINDLESH.
Increased default value for setting $398 (number of planner blocs) from 35 to 100 for faster laser engraving.
NOTE: the $398 setting value will not change on an upgrade!
NOTE: STM32F103 builds for the 128K flash variants does not have enough free RAM and will keep 35 as the default value.
Increased allowed number of decimal places from 3 to 5 for $10x stepper step/mm settings. Ref. ioSender issue 346.
Added setting $650 for filing system options. Ref. issue 397.
Currently the following bits are available (depending on the configuration):
0 - Auto mount SD card on startup (1).
1 - Do not add littlefs files when listing the root directory (2).
Added build option for lathe UVW mode.
When enabled UVW words can be used to command relative moves for XYZ without switching to relative mode with G91.
NOTE: This permanently sets lathe mode and disables the $32 mode setting.
There are signature changes to some spindle, ioports enumeration and VFS filing system mount functions.
Added events to allow plugin code to handle tool table data, possibly stored on a SD card.
Some drivers will now only disable hard limits (if enabled) for axes that are homing, this includes max/min limit switches.
HAL entry points and core handlers/events has been added and some have changed signatures in order to better support kinematics implementations.
More work on delta kinematics: new and changed settings, some improved functionality. Still in progress.
added some crossbar pin definitions and limited $TPW retract to Z home.
Moved some common driver code to the core and update of current position on steps/mm changes.
