time -----> EXAMPLE: Block 2 entry speed is at max junction velocity
The planner block buffer is planned assuming constant acceleration velocity profiles and are
continuously joined at block junctions as shown above. However, the planner only actively computes
the block entry speeds for an optimal velocity plan, but does not compute the block internal
velocity profiles. These velocity profiles are computed ad-hoc as they are executed by the
stepper algorithm and consists of only 7 possible types of profiles: cruise-only, cruise-
deceleration, acceleration-cruise, acceleration-only, deceleration-only, full-trapezoid, and
triangle(no cruise).

The step segment buffer computes the executing block velocity profile and tracks the critical
parameters for the stepper algorithm to accurately trace the profile. These critical parameters
are shown and defined in the above illustration.

/* "The Stepper Driver Interrupt" - This timer interrupt is the workhorse of Grbl. Grbl employs
the venerable Bresenham line algorithm to manage and exactly synchronize multi-axis moves.
Unlike the popular DDA algorithm, the Bresenham algorithm is not susceptible to numerical
round-off errors and only requires fast integer counters, meaning low computational overhead
and maximizing the Arduino's capabilities. However, the downside of the Bresenham algorithm
is, for certain multi-axis motions, the non-dominant axes may suffer from un-smooth step
pulse trains, or aliasing, which can lead to strange audible noises or shaking. This is
particularly noticeable or may cause motion issues at low step frequencies (0-5kHz), but
is usually not a physical problem at higher frequencies, although audible.
To improve Bresenham multi-axis performance, Grbl uses what we call an Adaptive Multi-Axis
Step Smoothing (AMASS) algorithm, which does what the name implies. At lower step frequencies,
AMASS artificially increases the Bresenham resolution without effecting the algorithm's
innate exactness. AMASS adapts its resolution levels automatically depending on the step
frequency to be executed, meaning that for even lower step frequencies the step smoothing
level increases. Algorithmically, AMASS is acheived by a simple bit-shifting of the Bresenham
step count for each AMASS level. For example, for a Level 1 step smoothing, we bit shift
the Bresenham step event count, effectively multiplying it by 2, while the axis step counts
remain the same, and then double the stepper ISR frequency. In effect, we are allowing the
non-dominant Bresenham axes step in the intermediate ISR tick, while the dominant axis is
stepping every two ISR ticks, rather than every ISR tick in the traditional sense. At AMASS
Level 2, we simply bit-shift again, so the non-dominant Bresenham axes can step within any
of the four ISR ticks, the dominant axis steps every four ISR ticks, and quadruple the
stepper ISR frequency. And so on. This, in effect, virtually eliminates multi-axis aliasing
issues with the Bresenham algorithm and does not significantly alter Grbl's performance, but
in fact, more efficiently utilizes unused CPU cycles overall throughout all configurations.
AMASS retains the Bresenham algorithm exactness by requiring that it always executes a full
Bresenham step, regardless of AMASS Level. Meaning that for an AMASS Level 2, all four
intermediate steps must be completed such that baseline Bresenham (Level 0) count is always
retained. Similarly, AMASS Level 3 means all eight intermediate steps must be executed.
Although the AMASS Levels are in reality arbitrary, where the baseline Bresenham counts can
be multiplied by any integer value, multiplication by powers of two are simply used to ease
CPU overhead with bitshift integer operations.
This interrupt is simple and dumb by design. All the computational heavy-lifting, as in
determining accelerations, is performed elsewhere. This interrupt pops pre-computed segments,
defined as constant velocity over n number of steps, from the step segment buffer and then
executes them by pulsing the stepper pins appropriately via the Bresenham algorithm. This
ISR is supported by The Stepper Port Reset Interrupt which it uses to reset the stepper port
after each pulse. The bresenham line tracer algorithm controls all stepper outputs
simultaneously with these two interrupts.
NOTE: This interrupt must be as efficient as possible and complete before the next ISR tick,
which for Grbl must be less than 33.3usec (@30kHz ISR rate). Oscilloscope measured time in
ISR is 5usec typical and 25usec maximum, well below requirement.
NOTE: This ISR expects at least one step to be executed per segment.
