For programmers: added grbl.on_control_signals_changed event, fired on some signals: optional stop, single step, block delete and cycle start.
Fix for incorrect handling of arcs when negative scaling is enabled with G51.
Changed signature of limit check functions, grbl.travel_limits() et. al.
to include a pointer to the work envelope to use.
Updated spindle off handling to check for "at speed" on deceleration when spindle is "at speed" capable.
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.
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.
Added '$709' setting for second PWM spindle when available - PWM options.
Added properties to PWM spindles to allow "overdriving" PWM output when _RPM controls spindle enable signal is enabled with '$9' or '$709'.
Optimized Modbus CRC calculation, may fix issue with a compiler generating different code compared to most others. Ref. issue #723.
Added named parameters _probe_state and _toolsetter_state. Both return -1 if state is not available.
These may return incorrect values initially so use with care.
Added option to homing enable setting ($22) for per axis homing feedrates.
!! Backup and restore settings over an update is recommended since all settings will be reset to default. Any odometer data will also be lost.
Sub name matches filename with extension .macro.
Added core event for handling special gcode comments used by expressions and flow control: DEBUG, PRINT and ABORT.
Added overrideable default $-setting values for second PWM spindle to grbl/config.c.
(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.
Fixed incorrect handling of G65 call parameters, axis words had offsets added. Ref. issue #594.
Refactored handling of multiple spindles. There are still some limitations but should work better now. Disabled override delays for now, needs investigation. Ref. issue #598.
NOTE: Please report any erratic behaviour after installing this version since it is a rather major change.
Added named parameters for getting absolute (G53) position: _abs_x, abs_y, ...
Available when expression support is enabled.
Changed stepper enable HAL signature to allow current reduction when idle.
Added reference id to spindle registration in order to allow configuring default spindle, and possibly additional spindles, at compile time.
Fixes issues for programs containing extended M-codes using single meaning words (which they as a rule should not do).
Added core support for spindle encoder binding to spindles.
Added sorting of spindle report: enabled spindles are sorted first in order of spindle number, disabled by type then spindle id.
Changed realtime report to report spindle number instead of spindle id on changes in the |S: element.
Hide related settings when no spindle and/or coolant outputs are available. From PR #479.
Fixed typo related to Modbus direction signal. Ref. issue #478.
Fixed typo in handling of aux output port settings. Ref issue #476.
Fix for unable to set $484 to 0, issue #466.
Added setting $673 for setting coolant on delay after feedhold. Available when safety door handling is not enabled.
Fixed obscure bug carried over from legacy Grbl related to this. Issue #467.
Enabled setting $394 for spindle on delay after feedhold. Available when safety door handling is not enabled.
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 spindle type property to HAL, "hardened" code.
Added new setting $346 for action to take after tool change: either return controlled point (tool tip) back to the same position as before the M6 command (default) or move spindle to Z home.
