and the mechanism so that if an endstop is hit it the ISR, the steps_to_be_taken are stored, and some current_block data that will be deleted in the next move If the normal loop() then finds such an event, the position is calculated (floats would have taken too long in the ISR) A serial message is generated. |

WARNING: THIS IN A PROCESS OF HEAVY OVERWORKING. DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR MACHINE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!
===========================================
This RepRap firmware is a mashup between Sprinter, grbl and many original parts.
Derived from Sprinter and Grbl by Erik van der Zalm. Sprinters lead developers are Kliment and caru. Grbls lead developer is Simen Svale Skogsrud. Some features have been added by and configuration has been added by: Bernhard Kubicek, Matthijs Keuper, Bradley Feldman, and others...
Features:
- Interrupt based movement with real linear acceleration
- High steprate
- Look ahead (Keep the speed high when possible. High cornering speed)
- Interrupt based temperature protection
- preliminary support for Matthew Roberts advance algorithm For more info see: http://reprap.org/pipermail/reprap-dev/2011-May/003323.html
- Full endstop support
- Simple LCD support (16x2)
- SD Card support
- Provisions for Bernhard Kubicek's new hardware control console and 20x4 lcd
This firmware is optimized for Ultimaker's gen6 electronics (including the Ultimaker 1.5.x daughterboard and Arduino Mega 2560).
The default baudrate is 115200.
========================================================================================
Configuring and compilation
Install the latest arduino software IDE/toolset (currently 0022) http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Install Ultimaker's RepG 25 build http://software.ultimaker.com (or alternatively install Kliment's printrun/pronterface https://github.com/kliment/Printrun_)
Copy the Ultimaker Marlin firmware https:/github.com/bkubicek/Marlin (Use the download button)
Start the arduino IDE. Select Tools -> Board -> Arduino Mega 2560 Select the correct serial port in Tools ->Serial Port Open Marlin.pde
Click the Verify/Compile button
Click the Upload button If all goes well the firmware is uploading
Start Ultimaker's Custom RepG 25 Make sure Show Experimental Profiles is enabled in Preferences Select Sprinter as the Driver
Press the Connect button.
KNOWN ISSUES: RepG will display: Unknown: marlin x.y.z
That's ok. Enjoy Silky Smooth Printing.
