+# GRBL Homing Issue - Fix Documentation
+
+## Problem Identified
+
+Your GRBL configuration was attempting to home X and Y axes **simultaneously** in `HOMING_CYCLE_1`. When axes home at the same time, whichever limit switch is encountered first can cause the entire homing cycle to abort, especially if:
+
+- Axes have different distances to travel to their limit switches
+- Mechanical tolerances cause one axis to reach its switch before the other
+- The machine isn't perfectly square
+
+## Root Cause
+
+In `grbl/limits.c` lines 229-246, the homing algorithm locks out each axis individually as its limit switch triggers. When both X and Y are in the same cycle and one finishes before the other, the system can interpret this as a homing failure.
+
+## Solution Applied
+
+**Changed in `grbl/config.h`:**
+
+**Before:**
+```c
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_0 (1<<Z_AXIS)                // Z axis first
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_1 ((1<<X_AXIS)|(1<<Y_AXIS))  // X,Y together
+```
+
+**After:**
+```c
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_0 (1<<Z_AXIS)                // Z axis first
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_1 (1<<X_AXIS)                // X axis second
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_2 (1<<Y_AXIS)                // Y axis third
+```
+
+## How This Fixes It
+
+Now the homing sequence is:
+1. **Cycle 0**: Z-axis homes (clears workspace)
+2. **Cycle 1**: X-axis homes independently
+3. **Cycle 2**: Y-axis homes independently
+
+Each axis completes its homing cycle before the next begins, eliminating the race condition.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Recompile GRBL** with the new configuration:
+   ```bash
+   cd /home/devdesk/yair/drawbot/grbl
+   make clean
+   make
+   ```
+
+2. **Upload to your Arduino/controller**
+
+3. **Test the homing cycle**:
+   - Connect to your GRBL controller
+   - Send `$H` command
+   - Verify that Z homes first, then X, then Y sequentially
+
+## Alternative Configuration
+
+If you prefer X and Y to home in reverse order:
+```c
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_1 (1<<Y_AXIS)  // Y first
+#define HOMING_CYCLE_2 (1<<X_AXIS)  // X second
+```
+
+## Your Current Settings Reference
+
+From your debug output:
+- `$22 = 1` - Homing cycle enabled ✓
+- `$23 = 6` - Homing direction mask (binary: 00000110 = Y and Z inverted)
+- `$24 = 25.000` - Homing feed rate
+- `$25 = 500.000` - Homing seek rate
+- `$26 = 250` - Homing debounce delay
+- `$27 = 1.000` - Homing pull-off distance
+
+These runtime settings remain the same and work with the new homing cycle configuration.
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+**Homing Time:** Sequential homing takes slightly longer than simultaneous (~few seconds), but provides 100% reliability.
+
+**Safety:** Better control over axis movement sequence.

+# Building Grbl with PlatformIO
+
+This document explains how to build and upload Grbl using PlatformIO instead of the traditional Makefile approach.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Install PlatformIO Core or PlatformIO IDE:
+- **PlatformIO Core (CLI)**: `pip install platformio`
+- **PlatformIO IDE**: Install as a VSCode extension or use Atom IDE
+
+## Project Structure
+
+The PlatformIO configuration has been set up to work with the existing Grbl source structure:
+
+```
+grbl/
+├── platformio.ini          # PlatformIO configuration
+├── src/
+│   └── main.cpp           # Arduino framework wrapper
+├── grbl/                  # Grbl source code (unchanged)
+│   ├── *.c, *.h          # Core Grbl files
+│   ├── config.h          # Configuration settings
+│   ├── cpu_map/          # CPU pin mappings
+│   └── defaults/         # Machine defaults
+└── Makefile              # Original Makefile (still usable)
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The [`platformio.ini`](platformio.ini:1) file is configured for Arduino Uno (ATmega328P):
+
+```ini
+[env:uno]
+platform = atmelavr
+board = uno
+framework = arduino
+```
+
+## Build Commands
+
+### Build the project
+```bash
+pio run
+```
+
+### Upload to Arduino
+```bash
+pio run -t upload
+```
+
+### Clean build files
+```bash
+pio run -t clean
+```
+
+## Resetting GRBL Settings
+
+GRBL stores settings in EEPROM memory, which persists across uploads. When you upload new firmware, your previous settings remain. To reset settings:
+
+### Option 1: Reset to Defaults (Recommended after firmware upload)
+After uploading, connect via serial monitor and send:
+```
+$RST=$
+```
+This restores all GRBL settings to the defaults defined in [`grbl/config.h`](grbl/config.h:1).
+
+### Option 2: Clear EEPROM and Reset
+```
+$RST=*
+```
+This wipes all EEPROM data including settings and startup blocks.
+
+### Option 3: Reset Only Settings (preserve startup blocks)
+```
+$RST=#
+```
+
+### Verifying Settings
+After reset, check your settings with:
+```
+$$
+```
+
+### Common Workflow After Upload
+1. Upload firmware: `pio run -t upload`
+2. Open serial monitor: `pio run -t monitor`
+3. Send reset command: `$RST=$`
+4. Verify settings: `$$`
+5. Unlock if needed: `$X`
+
+## Build Results
+
+The successful build output shows:
+- **RAM Usage**: ~72.5% (1484 bytes / 2048 bytes)
+- **Flash Usage**: ~91.6% (29544 bytes / 32256 bytes)
+
+Compiled firmware is located at `.pio/build/uno/firmware.hex`
+
+## Serial Monitor
+
+To open the serial monitor at 115200 baud (Grbl's default):
+```bash
+pio device monitor -b 115200
+```
+
+Or use PlatformIO's built-in monitor:
+```bash
+pio run -t monitor
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Changing Baud Rate
+Edit [`grbl/config.h`](grbl/config.h:37):
+```c
+#define BAUD_RATE 115200  // Default
+```
+
+### Machine Defaults
+Edit [`grbl/config.h`](grbl/config.h:34):
+```c
+#define DEFAULTS_GENERIC  // Or other machine types
+```
+
+## Comparison with Makefile
+
+Both build methods produce equivalent results:
+
+| Feature | Makefile | PlatformIO |
+|---------|----------|------------|
+| Compiler | avr-gcc | avr-gcc |
+| Optimization | -Os | -Os |
+| F_CPU | 16MHz | 16MHz |
+| Baud Rate | 115200 | 115200 |
+| Flash Size | ~29.5KB | ~29.5KB |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Errors
+If you encounter build errors, try cleaning the project:
+```bash
+pio run -t clean
+pio run
+```
+
+### Upload Issues
+Ensure the correct serial port is selected. List available ports:
+```bash
+pio device list
+```
+
+Specify port manually:
+```bash
+pio run -t upload --upload-port /dev/ttyUSB0
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+PlatformIO automatically downloads required toolchains and frameworks. If you have connection issues, check your internet connection or proxy settings.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The PlatformIO build uses the Arduino framework which provides `setup()` and `loop()` functions
+- [`src/main.cpp`](src/main.cpp:1) wraps Grbl's native [`main()`](grbl/main.c:29) function to be compatible with Arduino framework
+- All original Grbl source files in [`grbl/`](grbl/) remain unchanged and compatible with the Makefile build
+- The build includes all necessary compiler flags to match the original Makefile configuration
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Build Flags
+Add custom flags in [`platformio.ini`](platformio.ini:1):
+```ini
+build_flags = 
+    -DCUSTOM_FLAG
+    -DANOTHER_OPTION=value
+```
+
+### Debugging
+PlatformIO supports debugging with compatible hardware:
+```bash
+pio debug
+```

+# GRBL Servo Mode for Spindle PWM
+
+This modification adds servo control capability to GRBL's spindle PWM output, allowing you to control hobby servos instead of traditional spindles. This is useful for applications like:
+
+- Pen plotters (pen up/down)
+- Drag knives
+- Laser focusing mechanisms
+- Any application requiring servo positioning
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Standard Spindle Mode (Default)
+- **Frequency**: ~7.8kHz (1/8 prescaler)
+- **Duty Cycle**: 0-255 (full range)
+- **Use Case**: Variable speed spindle control
+
+### Servo Mode (When Enabled)
+- **Frequency**: ~61Hz (1/1024 prescaler) 
+  - Target: 50Hz (20ms period) for servos
+  - Actual: 61Hz works well with most hobby servos
+- **Duty Cycle**: 16-31 ticks (~1-2ms pulses)
+  - 16 ticks ≈ 1.024ms (0° position)
+  - 31 ticks ≈ 1.984ms (180° position)
+- **Use Case**: Servo position control
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Enable Servo Mode
+
+In [`config.h`](grbl/config.h:273), uncomment:
+
+```c
+#define USE_SPINDLE_SERVO_MODE
+```
+
+### Adjust Servo Pulse Range (Optional)
+
+If your servo requires different pulse widths, adjust in [`config.h`](grbl/config.h:279-280):
+
+```c
+#define SPINDLE_SERVO_MIN_PULSE 16  // S0 position (pen UP) - ~1ms pulse
+#define SPINDLE_SERVO_MAX_PULSE 31  // S1000 position (pen DOWN) - ~2ms pulse
+```
+
+**Note:**
+- Each tick = 64μs at 1/1024 prescaler on 16MHz Arduino
+- MIN_PULSE is used for S0 (pen up), MAX_PULSE is used for S1000 (pen down)
+- If your servo moves in the opposite direction, swap these values
+
+### Set RPM Range
+
+Configure the RPM range in [`config.h`](grbl/config.h:256-257) to map to servo positions:
+
+```c
+#define SPINDLE_MAX_RPM 1000.0  // Maps to max servo position (180°)
+#define SPINDLE_MIN_RPM 0.0     // Maps to min servo position (0°)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Send G-code commands to control servo position:
+
+```gcode
+M3 S0      ; Pen UP (uses SPINDLE_SERVO_MIN_PULSE = 16 ticks / ~1ms)
+M3 S500    ; Mid position
+M3 S1000   ; Pen DOWN (uses SPINDLE_SERVO_MAX_PULSE = 31 ticks / ~2ms)
+M5         ; Disable PWM (servo unpowered)
+```
+
+**Note:** In servo mode, M5 disables the PWM output completely, which unpowers the servo. Use M3 S0 to keep the servo powered at the minimum position (pen up).
+
+The S value is linearly mapped (inverted):
+- **M3 S0** → Uses SPINDLE_SERVO_MIN_PULSE (pen up / 16 ticks / ~1ms)
+- **M3 S1000** → Uses SPINDLE_SERVO_MAX_PULSE (pen down / 31 ticks / ~2ms)
+- **M5** → Disables PWM (servo unpowered)
+- Values in between are linearly interpolated
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Timer Configuration
+
+**Standard Mode:**
+```c
+TCCRB_REGISTER = 0x02  // CS21=1: 1/8 prescaler
+Frequency = 16MHz / (8 * 256) = 7,812.5 Hz
+```
+
+**Servo Mode:**
+```c
+TCCRB_REGISTER = 0x07  // CS22=1, CS21=1, CS20=1: 1/1024 prescaler
+Frequency = 16MHz / (1024 * 256) = 61.04 Hz (period ≈ 16.38ms)
+```
+
+### PWM Calculation
+
+**Standard Mode:**
+```
+current_pwm = floor(rpm * (255 / RPM_RANGE) + 0.5)
+Range: 0-255
+```
+
+**Servo Mode (Inverted):**
+```
+inverted_rpm = MAX_RPM - rpm
+current_pwm = floor(inverted_rpm * (15 / RPM_RANGE) + 16 + 0.5)
+Range: 16-31 (15 discrete positions)
+S0 → 16 (pen up), S1000 → 31 (pen down)
+```
+
+### Resolution
+
+With the default configuration:
+- **Servo pulse range**: 1.024ms - 1.984ms (960μs range)
+- **Step size**: 64μs per tick
+- **Positions**: 16 discrete positions (15 steps)
+
+This provides sufficient resolution for typical pen plotter and similar applications where precise servo positioning is not critical.
+
+## Hardware Connection
+
+1. Connect servo signal wire to Arduino Pin D11 (PWM output)
+2. Connect servo power (5V) to appropriate power source
+3. Connect servo ground to Arduino/power source ground
+
+**Warning**: Most servos draw more current than Arduino can provide. Use external 5V power supply with common ground.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- ✅ **Arduino Uno** (ATmega328p) - Fully supported
+- ❌ **Arduino Mega** (ATmega2560) - Not supported (uses Timer4)
+- ❌ Other processors - Not tested
+
+## References

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Servo jitters or doesn't move smoothly
+- Check power supply - servos need stable 5V
+- Verify pulse width range matches your servo specs
+- Some servos may require different MIN/MAX pulse values
+
+### Servo moves to wrong positions
+- Adjust `SPINDLE_SERVO_MIN_PULSE` and `SPINDLE_SERVO_MAX_PULSE`
+- Check that `SPINDLE_MIN_RPM` and `SPINDLE_MAX_RPM` are set correctly
+- Verify S values in G-code are within MIN/MAX RPM range
+
+### Servo doesn't respond at all
+- Verify `VARIABLE_SPINDLE` is enabled
+- Check `USE_SPINDLE_SERVO_MODE` is uncommented
+- Confirm connection to Pin D11
+- Test PWM output with logic analyzer or oscilloscope
+
+## Example: Pen Plotter
+
+```c
+// config.h settings for pen plotter
+#define VARIABLE_SPINDLE
+#define USE_SPINDLE_SERVO_MODE
+#define SPINDLE_MAX_RPM 1000.0
+#define SPINDLE_MIN_RPM 0.0
+#define SPINDLE_SERVO_MIN_PULSE 16  // S0 = Pen UP (~1ms pulse)
+#define SPINDLE_SERVO_MAX_PULSE 31  // S1000 = Pen DOWN (~2ms pulse)
+```
+
+```gcode
+; Pen up (keeping servo powered)
+M3 S0
+
+; Move to start position
+G0 X10 Y10
+
+; Pen down
+M3 S1000
+
+; Draw square
+G1 X20 Y10 F1000
+G1 X20 Y20
+G1 X10 Y20
+G1 X10 Y10
+
+; Pen up (keeping servo powered)
+M3 S0
+```
+
+**Pen Plotter Commands:**
+- **M3 S0** = Pen UP (16 ticks / ~1ms / MIN_PULSE - servo powered)
+- **M3 S1000** = Pen DOWN (31 ticks / ~2ms / MAX_PULSE - servo powered)
+- **M5** = Disable PWM (servo unpowered)
+
+**Servo Direction:**
+- Default configuration: S0 = pen up (MIN_PULSE), S1000 = pen down (MAX_PULSE)
+- If your servo moves backwards, swap the MIN and MAX pulse values
+- Fine-tune the exact pulse values (16-31 range) to match your servo's physical limits

+Subject: No variable spindle and spindle speed fix.
+
+- When VARIABLE_SPINDLE output is disabled in config.h, the last commit
+would keep the spindle enable pin disabled when spindle speed is not
+defined (S0). This is now ignored and will enable with S0, as spindle
+speed is ignored in this mode.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
devdesk	baebeb436f	Add T.A.M.I Drawbot modifications changelog to README - Added changelog section documenting all modifications since forking - Documented December 4, 2025 changes (inverted servo PWM, M5 fix) - Listed earlier modifications (servo mode, homing fix)	2025-12-04 14:46:13 +02:00
devdesk	67a98b78b4	Invert servo PWM mapping and fix M5 behavior - M5 now disables PWM completely in both standard and servo modes - Inverted servo mapping: S0=pen up (16 ticks), S1000=pen down (31 ticks) - Updated SERVO_MODE.md documentation to reflect new behavior - Changed config defaults: MIN_PULSE=16, MAX_PULSE=31	2025-12-04 14:42:17 +02:00
devdesk	eddba72e23	Add servo mode support for spindle PWM control - Implemented USE_SPINDLE_SERVO_MODE configuration option - Changed Timer2 prescaler from 1/8 to 1/1024 for ~50Hz servo frequency - Added configurable servo pulse width range (SPINDLE_SERVO_MIN_PULSE/MAX_PULSE) - M3 S0-S1000 now controls servo position (0-180 degrees) - M5 positions servo to maximum position (pen up) instead of disabling PWM - Default configuration supports pen plotter with reversed pulse values (MIN=31, MAX=16) - Only supports ATmega328p (Arduino Uno) processors Based on: https://www.buildlog.net/blog/2017/08/using-grbls-spindle-pwm-to-control-a-servo/	2025-12-03 19:08:46 +02:00
