Initial Repository creation

20100214: initial push - code is lash-up of Compact Flash project. Most functions incomplete.



Goals:

* Support GCode from Skeinforge right out of the box

* Use novel ultra-ultra-simple mechanical scheme using only hinge joints for horizontal positioning

* Smooth, silent and accurate motion using 1/256 detent-force-corrected microsteps and 10 bit pwm



Status:

* Runs on Arduino Mega / atmega1280

* GCode interpreter complete

* Linear interpolation machine control complete

* Buffered, non blocking, asynchronous stepping so the rest of the system is free to generate new steps and parse

g-code while the steppers are still steppin

* Dynamic speed control with lookahead to avoid jerky cornering

* Basic serial protocol complete
