The general structure of Grbl

=============================

The main processing stack:

'serial_protocol' : Accepts command lines from the serial port and passes them to
'gcode' for execution.
Provides status responses for each command.

'gcode' : Recieves gcode from 'serial_protocol', parses it according to


the current state
of the parser and issues commands via '..._control' modules

'spindle_control' : Commands for controlling the spindle.

'motion_control' : Accepts motion commands from 'gcode' and passes them to the
'planner'. This module
represents the public interface of the planner/stepper duo.

'planner' : Recieves linear motion commands from 'motion_control' and adds


them to the plan of
prepared motions. It takes care of continously optimizing the
acceleration profile
as motions are added.

'stepper' : Executes the motions by stepping the steppers according to the


plan.

Supporting files:

'config.h' : Compile time user settings

'settings' : Maintains the run time settings record in eeprom and makes it
availible
to all modules.

'eeprom' : A library from Atmel that provides methods for reading and
writing the eeprom with
a small addition from us that read and write binary streams
with check sums used
to verify validity of the settings record.

'nuts_bolts.h' : A tiny collection of useful constants and macros used


everywhere

'wiring_serial' : Low level serial library initially from an old version of the
Arduino software
