[Grbl_Esp32 Issue#39] Add Uploadable Machine Profiles

#1 – msurguy 于 2018-09-27

I’m not sure if the existing doc is covering it, but basically the type of the tool is also something that can be set by some settings and be shared separately from the machine profile.

Example scenario: perhaps I have a Coasty with a laser and somebody else has a coasty with a pen / marker driven by a servo. I want to share all settings with the other person, but omit the tool settings / type.

The machine profile INI / JSON file sounds cool since it would be possible to create a web-based configurator/wizard that is simple to understand.

@msurguy can you give an example of the actual settings your are talking about in your example?

INI/JSON – Yes I think a web configurator would be great, but I would like to see alternate ways too.

@bdring : In your OPT: report you have used “S” for SD Card support, this has already been assigned in the master branch:
“
#ifdef ENABLESOFTWAREDEBOUNCE
serial_write('S');
#endif
“
I have moved a lot of #define configurations to $ settings in my port already, plus made some other minor protocol changes. Perhaps there should be a separate project for discussing/documenting changes so the different ports does not start to diverge too much for similar changes. Preferably at the master repository?
Or do you want me to add them here for discussion?

Perhaps a bit OT for this thread but anyway:
I do not know if your port is intended for “standard” gcode senders or not. If so I have found a potential breaking change in your error reporting when streaming from SD card. It will likely make my sender fail in some way since it is not compliant with original specs (for v1.1 at least).
This message is the culprit: “error:%d in SD file at line %d\r\n”
According to the spec the error: string should be follwed by an error number only, there is no provision for adding further data as I understand it. But then perhaps that should be added to the spec?
