FIRMWARE VERSION 1.18.04 TO 1.18.06

Features Added:

MBUF: Multi-buffer move feature will increase the maximum throughput of the board for handling short moves. This will also be the base for Look Ahead.

Oxford UART: detect and set the baud rate accordingly.

VEL LIMIT added as a protection, so that the master will never pull a velocity greater than set by this limit. This will protect against FOV, ROV or VEL command pushing the velocity too high.

CAM SEG command will display the current CAM lookup table data.

GEAR, CAM and PLS will display its current setting (LIST).

GEAR and CAM CLEAR commands will set these into default state.

SYNC SET and SYNC CLR command added to precisely set and clear the flags at the end of a move.

Lock Feedback Gain added to the servo loop, so that the axes whose commands are locked together will also be tied through feedback.

Dual port memory added for ACR8010.

Look Ahead feature to control the velocity.

Stepper Feedback to work with HSINT, INTCAP and MSEEK etc.

The digital filters in the servo loop can be moved between any two Parameters.

INTCAP OFF command added.

MAXVEL will work with INT move command as well.

Newton Raphson Approximation for NURB and SPLINE velocity control.

SRC command will display its current source.

MAXVEL will also optimize the acceleration.

TANG: tangential feature to keep an axis at an angle to a curve.

TARC: 3-dimensional circular interpolation by fitting an arc on any 3 points in XYZ Cartesian space.

Start and End Radius for spiral-interpolation.

CIRCW (circle clock wise) and CIRCCW (circle counter clock wise) added for conveniently doing the circular moves.
