Releases: Paciente8159/uCNC
µCNC v1.12.1
Version 1.12.1 has the following changes:
Added
- added DISABLE_EEPROM_EMULATION option on STM32 to allow EEPROM emulation disabling while allowing to add an external settings NVM support like SD card or external Flash/EEPROM (#849)
- added support for STM32H723 chip (and SKR3 board - untested) (#853)
- added new probing override callback that allows to add and remove custom probing methods besides the PROBE pin input (#855)
- added Plasma THC tool M101 (THC enable) and M102 (THC disable) commands (#855)
Changed
- modified Plasma THC tool to become independent of the M62-M65 module command (#855)
Fixed
µCNC v1.12.0
Version 1.12 adds initial support to the STM32H7 family. This is still missing some features like DMA support for SPI and does not have EEPROM emulation. For now it was only tested on STM32H750 so some support limitations are expected.
ESP8266 had a complete core refactoring, allowing to make use of SPI to extend IO via the new shift register (74HC595/74HC165).
Thanks to @DevanshGarg31 for adding RTheta kinematics support (yet untested)
The full change log is the following:
@DevanshGarg31 - added RTheta kinematics (#839)
Added
- new shift register module that allows not only to add output IO extensions via 74HC595 but also input IO extensions via 74HC165 (#831)
- added initial support for STM32H7 single core family. This core is still incomplete and is missing some features, SPI DMA and EEPROM emulation (#837) (#846)
- added RTheta kinematics (#839) (#845)
Changed
- re-introduced boards friendly names for configuration via Arduino IDE and make files (#834)
- ESP8266 full core code refactoring with a new custom integration for the new shift register via SPI allowing for mor IO on this MCU (#835)
- improved loop cycle macro (#799)
- modified Kinematics settings to be able to define custom settings for kinematics in the kinematics definition file, without the need to change several files (#840)
Fixed

µCNC v1.11.0
This is the release of version 1.11.
This version got an overall interface/streaming code refactoring. This lead to several improvements and enhancements for modules development, regarding printing and message streaming.
Settings storage code was also refactored, to increase settings security. This ensures that when using external storage media, a setting loading error/missing settings lock the machine in a safe way preventing any commands until the user fixes the machine settings.
Additionally O-Codes/subrotines were added to the parser, now allowing to run complex subrotines and codes from media files.
Initial support to RP2350 is also available (still experimental). The Arduino framework is also a bit green so beware that this may is running with some functionalities missing (like emulated EEPROM and Multicore mode) and may not be fully stable.
And Happy Birthday Duarte 😍 11. This is also your day today 👦
The full changelog for version 1.11 is:
Contributors
@ricochet1k - fixed warning on LPC17XX I2C via Arduino Library (#783)
- fixed debug stream print overflow (#779)
- added missing checks for ENABLE_NAMED_PARAMETERS (#774)
Added
- added support for printing values of numbered and via messages
- added support for read-only predifined named parameters. Parameters can also be printed via $# command followed by the parameter number or parameter name (#767)
- added support for O-Codes similar to LinuxCNC. O-Codes or subrotines runs custom GCode code and perform conditional logic and complex loops. O-Codes run from media storage .nc files thus each subrotine is self contained and it's not necessary to declare the SUB and ENDSUB O-Codes. The O-Codes must reside in the root system file of a pre-configured FS (C for MCU Flash FS or D for SD card FS). (#765) (#769)
- settings hardened safety features. On settings loading if an error is detected the machine enters locked mode and requires a full setting reset from the user before allowing unlock. This using the machine if the settings are not correctly loaded preventing failures when using settings from movable media sources like SD cards. Also on settings saving error the system will keep retrying to save the setting in case a write error occurs but allows the program to continue flowing. This option can be turned off by enabling ´DISABLE_SAFE_SETTINGS´ in the cnc_config.h file (#761) (#762)
- self implemented subset/custom of stdio printf helpers. It's now possible to print formated messages via protocol. No need to do specific calls to print variables like numbers, strings, char, ip addresse, bytes, etc... (#760)
- Debug messages now have an intermediate buffer that stores the output before printing it to prevent outputing debug messages in the middle of onging protocol messages (#760)
- SPI with DMA support for RP2040 (#713)
- Added initial support for RP2350 (#770)
Changed
- all communications calls to output messages now are done via the proto_xxx calls in grbl_protocol.h. No more calls to serial stream directly mixed with protocol calls (#760)
- improvements to the debug message system. Now a single call to DBGMSG macro is used. The same principle of formated messages is applied (#760)
- modified/fixed emulated ONEWIRE transmission to use active output on low level logic (#778)
- improved timeout block macro (#779)(#780)
Fixed
- added custom MCU build option to fix PIO build errors using overrides (#764)
- fixed/moved all custom PIO configurations generated in the web config builder to the platformio.ini file (fixes custom builds) (#766)
- added missing checks for ENABLE_NAMED_PARAMETERS (#774)
- fix parser backtracking char cleaning (#775)
- several custom printf function fixes (#776)
- fixed softuart module getc that prevented correct transmission start bit detection(#777)
- fixed debug stream print overflow and print guard causing issues when the debug stream was not the default stream (#779)(#781)
- fixed warning on LPC17XX I2C via Arduino Library (#783)
