[Grbl_Esp32 Issue#331] Problems Compiling Firmware About GRBL HAL

Issue #331 | 状态: 已关闭 | 作者: MitchBradley | 创建时间: 2020-02-15

标签: help wanted

Please answer the following questions:

Have you read the wiki regarding how to compile?
Yes

What version of the Arduino IDE are you using?
1.8.12 – just downloaded it today

What version (commit date) of the Arduino core for the ESP32 are you using?
1.0.4

Are you using the master branch of Grbl_ESP32?
Yes, cloned yesterday. Commit is 2451d37

Have you made any edits or configuration changes (list them) to the firmware?
No

The compilation succeeded – my issue is with the instructions in “Compiling-the-firmware”

1. The board settings dialog in the latest Arduino IDE differs from that shown in the instructions. The “WiFi101 Firmware Updater” choice is now listed as “Wifi101/WiFiNINA”, and the closest choice to “Minimal SPIFFS (Large APPS with OTA)” is now “Minimal SPIFFS (1.9MB APP with OTA/190KB SPIFFS)” (Obviously I am being picky here, but the instructions are quite precise and picky themselves – a good thing – so I feel justified in being picky too
2. The instructions assume that you know how to open an Arduino project. It should be spelled out – File>Open… , browse to the directory containing GrblEsp32, open GrblEsp32.ino.
3. The Customize step does not say where the #define to select the pin map should be placed.
4. In the sentence “_f you reload firmware, check to see if “index.htnl.gz” …”, html is misspelled as htnl.

@MitchBradley
I am glad to see you here. Meet Mr. Barton @bdring who is a firmware genius. And Mr. Barton, I would like to introduce Mr. Mitch as a javascript genius and application expert who is chief contributor of cncjs and g2core.

Thanks for the intro, but I would like to set the record straight. I am barely competent – and maybe not even competent – at Javascript. I fought my way through the CNCjs code to mostly figure it out but every step was a struggle. I would not hire myself for a job that was primarily focused on JavaScript development.

I will, however, admit to having some firmware chops. I was the architect and author of Open Firmware, the boot firmware that, during its heyday, was used on pretty much all RISC servers, from Sun Microsystems, IBM, Apple, HP, etc. I was also the firmware lead at One Laptop Per Child. Bare metal is my forte; top of stack is a place that one sometimes goes by necessity.

Now that I am retired, I make golf putters from bamboo using a variety of CNC machines, and invent gadgets to help local farmers and food producers.

Same here. I consider myself a machine designer and firmware is just a necessary evil.

…also retired (from real jobs)

OMG, You are much more than what I already known so far… Keep your good work going for the betterment of open source community. By the way, grbl_esp32 is a great project lead by @bring very proactively. Best part of it is it doesn’t require host PC, though I use it with cncjs because of its rich interface. Still, RTOS is a wonderful thing and it doesn’t require formal shutdown. The web interface is decent but requires attention for being feature rich like cncjs. I am already using this firmware in my vmc and getting excellent results with a rigourously tested 120kHz pulse for each axis and realtime overrides. This is for your quick go through.

That is your greatness… A real talent is always wrapped in politeness.
