Home, Encoder jog, Speed control, DAC in and DAC out has been added and
works. Also added and being tested is autonomous run.
Autonomous run is kind of exciting; download and test a program; once
it works to your satisfaction, preface the whole thing with "auto<cr>",
disconnect the USB cable and the G-Rex runs the whole thing without a
PC. The application program gets stored in the battery-backed SDRAM in
the Rabbit.
Right now about 3,000 X,Y coordinates can be stored (about 32kB). Once
I figure out how to use Rabbit extended memory effectively, that number
will grow to about 30,000 X,Y coordinates. That should be enough for
most people without the G-Rex being tethered to a PC.
Because things are progressing so rapidly, I'll wait until this feature
works semi-properly before I post the Rabbit source coude.
