Parking mode improvements.
Removed requirement for external encoder for spindle sync if stepper spindle is enabled.
Improved handling of $680 stepper enable delay.
Added tool name, pocket number and some lathe specific data fields to the $# tool output when available from the tool table.
If name is available it will be output as a push message on M6 if there is no message in the same block.
Added support for directory up, .., to VFS.
Added new option to $650 - File systems options to enable hierarchical listing of files and directories via $F and $F+ commands.
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.
Fixed handling of NVS buffer allocation, size was not increased as expected when physical NVS is capable of holding more than 2 Kbytes.
This could lead to POS failure or plugins not initializing when a large tool table is configured.
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 $PORTS command for listing serial ports, later I will update all drivers to provide the optional information.
Potential fix for polar kinematics not handling axes > 3 correctly, needs testing. Ref. issue #820.
Added lightweight JSON serializer outputting directly to file.
Fix for event handler sometimes called too early. Ref. issue #818.
For developers: added optional device filing system that can redirect file read/write to serial streams.
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 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 HAL support for setting serial stream format.
Added setting $681 for configuring Modbus RTU stream parity, available when the underlying driver supports format setting.
Changed $I NEWOPT "ATC" element to ATC=1 when ATC is online and ATC=0 when offline.
For macro based ATC code this is set to ATC=0 if tc.macro is not found and the new $675 flag is set.
Named system parameters _current_pocket and _selected_pocket updated to return the correct values.
Moved handling of keeping last tool number over reboot from template plugin to the core.
Added named system parameters _homed_state and _homed_axes.
Fix for failure to claim auxiliary ports in some configurations.
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.
Added G30 as optional position for tool change.
Moved new tool change mode from PR#673 to $346 - Tool change options.
Moved Modbus RTU code from spindle plugin to the core.
Fixed bug in delayed task handler, might occasionally hang the controller.
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 '$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.
