grbl 0.9i with Servo motor and Core[X,Y] Configuration of Motion Control

Use the PIN D11 to drive the servo. Use the commands M03 Sxxx (xxx between 0 and 255) to rotate the servo between 0-180. The command M05 turn the servo to zero degrees.

you can change the pulse duration in the file spindle_control.c:

define RC_SERVO_SHORT 15 // Timer ticks for 0.6ms pulse duration (9 for 0.6ms)

define RC_SERVO_LONG 32 // Timer ticks for 2.5 ms pulse duration (39 for 2.5ms)

define RC_SERVO_INVERT 1 // Uncomment to invert servo direction

If you want to have the servo working from 0 --> 180 degrees change RC_SERVO_SHORT and put 9, RC_SERVO_LONG and put 39 If you want invert the servo direction uncomment the line above.

I tested the code very well with Atmega328p (Arduino Uno).

Grbl is a no-compromise, high performance, low cost alternative to parallel-port-based motion control for CNC milling. It will run on a vanilla Arduino (Duemillanove/Uno) as long as it sports an Atmega 328.

The controller is written in highly optimized C utilizing every clever feature of the AVR-chips to achieve precise timing and asynchronous operation. It is able to maintain up to 30kHz of stable, jitter free control pulses.

It accepts standards-compliant g-code and has been tested with the output of several CAM tools with no problems. Arcs, circles and helical motion are fully supported, as well as, all other primary g-code commands. Macro functions, variables, and most canned cycles are not supported, but we think GUIs can do a much better job at translating them into straight g-code anyhow.

Grbl includes full acceleration management with look ahead. That means the controller will look up to 18 motions into the future and plan its velocities ahead to deliver smooth acceleration and jerk-free cornering.

Licensing: Grbl is free software, released under the GPLv3 license.
