This is the second experimental release, with software updates for the version 2.0/2.1 PC boards.

CAUTION: This is experimental software, intended for testing and early adopters.

NEW in this release:

  • Add support for lathes with metric leadscrews
  • Add sanity checks for common/expected Configuration errors
  • Add configuration to select support for V1/V2 PC boards
  • Add infrastructure for future EEPROM support (not yet active)
  • Add new BSP threads (Thanks, Adam!)
  • Fix ratio for 11.5TPI (Thanks, Adam!)

Some of the previous limitations are still present:

  • No acceleration/deceleration when switching threads/feeds/direction
  • Power/Set buttons do not do anything (yet)

Additional content in the repository:

  • Add encoder simulator Arduino project
  • Add PCB test fixture firmware
  • Add documentation

Note that this release also has no safety features present. Future releases will incorporate speed limits, protections against abrupt direction or speed changes, and failsafes to detect software errors that might otherwise cause unexpected rapid movements of the carriage.
