Plasma Grbl

GRBL focused on budget plasma cutting.

Forked from GRBL

PlasmaGrbl was forked from XmotionFirmware. It also was forked from GRBL but the protocal has changed a lot and is not compatible with GRBL sender and the firmware needs more modifications.

Features

• All original GRBL features left intact
• Setup for Dual X (Most plasma machines are dual X gantry's)
• Cyclic redundancy check on Gcode stream to controller. This is absolutely critical for noisy environments, like plasma cutting. Without this a dropped byte or framming issue during the gcode stream can cause your machine to go places it's not supposed to!
• Built in Arc Voltage Torch Height Control with 1ms update time.

Post processors

There is a SheetCAM post processor in posts/Xmotion.scpost

Build using PlatformIO

If you want to build this from scratch, I recommend doing it via platformio. I personally like Microsoft's Vistual Code Studio with the PlatformIO plugin. Otherwise, there's a binary .hex file included in the ncPilot/Extra folder in the ncPilot Repository
