  • Support rewind of gcode on detection of M30
  • Supports feed, spindle and rapid overrides (depends on Grbl version)
  • Displays pin states (depends on Grbl version)

Limitations

  • Does not change Gcode, e.g. no trimming of decimal places
  • Does not remove unsupported Gcodes
  • Due to the issues raised in the Char Counting protocol (https://github.com/grbl/grbl/issues/845) I will not be implementing this protocol.
  • No expansion of Canned Drill cycles or M06 Tool Change

The last item above is planned, and is part of the reason for writing Grbl-Panel.
