Added experimental support for G66 (modal macro call) and G67 (end modal macro call).
Made axis letter to axis/motor assignment for axes ABCUVW freely changeable at compile time.
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.
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.
Added system parameter _tool_table_size, 0 if a tool table is not enabled.
Removed dependency on safety door input for parking settings: $41, $42, $56-$59, $392 and $393.
Removed strict dependency on spindle encoder input for spindle synced motion,
allows the use of the stepper spindle which has an implicit encoder.
Added core on_spindle_at_speed event. This must be verified with actual VFD spindles, I only have a simulator available.
Improved handling of "iterated" settings, can now be fully implemented by plugins.
Added $MODBUSSTATS and $MODBUSSTATS=R commands, outputs communication statistics such as number of sent commands, retries etc.
$MODBUSSTATS=R clears the statistics after outputting it.
Ref. issue #753.
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.
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.
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.
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 $32 mode setting.
There are signature changes to some spindle, ioports enumeration and VFS filing system mount functions.
Added events to allow plugin code to handle tool table data, possibly stored on a SD card.
Added 5s timeout/abort handling when waiting for index pulses prior to startiong spindle synchronized motion.
Added definitions for M401 (deploy probe) and M402 (stow probe) for plugin use.
Added support for probe protected message and alarm. Requires driver support for interrupt handled probe input.
Added `$ESG` and `$ESH` system commands for outputting current setting definitions.
Added setting descriptions to most settings. Work in progress.
Added/updated preprocessor code for leaner board map files++
