on GitHub

New Features

• Support for evaluating expression after the % symbol (b3d3934). This enables preliminary support for Manual Tool Change (#118)

  Example:

  G90
  %wait  ; Wait for the planner queue to empty
  %x0=posx,y0=posz,z0=posz  ; Save work position to x0, y0, and z0
  %zsafe=10
  G0 Z[zsafe]  ; Go to zsafe
  G0 X200 Y200
  %wait  ; Wait for the planner queue to empty
  G0 X[x0] Y[y0]  ; Rapidly move to x0 and y0
  G1 Z[z0] F10 ; Slightly move to z0
  

• New macro variables (9655a7f)

  • Wait for the planner queue to empty:
    %wait
  • Specify the bounding box:
    %xmin=0,xmax=100,ymin=0,ymax=100
  • Save work position:
    %x0=posx,y0=posy,z0=posz
  • Move to saved position:
    G0 X[x0] Y[y0]

• New command line option for specifying CNC controller (322f1a0):

  cnc --controller Grbl
  cnc --controller Smoothie
  cnc --controller TinyG
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that cannot load port settings from .cncrc with current versions (3e1d0d8, resolves #156)

  {
    "ports": [
        {
          "comName": "/dev/ttyAMA0",
          "manufacturer": ""
        }
    ]
  }

• Windows: Fixed a CSS bug that set incorrect table width and height to the workspace table (b3e7138)

Improvements

• Reorder widgets by clicking on the sortable icon (91fbcef, resolves #155)
• Add a confirmation asking user whether to delete the widget (e69e981)
• Append %wait (G04 dwell command) to the end of G-code content (519063c, cbb3e8f, resolves #137)
• Normalize command line arguments for packaged Electron app (c6d1ffd). Now you can specify command line options to Electron app.
