For the GRBL users out there :

A guide explaining what GRBL values correspond to what Smoothie values, to help with migrating.
A lot of users have been asking for this recently, so here it is.
If you find errors, please fix them, it is a free to edit wiki.
@Arthur_Wolf can you check why the mobile version of the site is not working correctly. I click on the link in the Google + app and all I get is the menu.
@Dushyant_Ahuja It sounds quite difficult to fix but I will look at it at some point
BTW @Arthur_Wolf , I had no success with chilipepper
@funinthefalls Thats sort of expected, however it should be close to qworking, it’s just about changing afew things about how serial coms work. I hope somebody will open an issue with CP to ask them to add support for this. Thanks a lot for testing !
I will start an issue at CP for you, least I can do for all the support you have given me with hardware and setup info.
@funinthefalls Awesome, Don’t hesitate to tag me there, or to give me the link
Hey guys, I saw the ticket on Github for this. I responded to that, but it would be great to get Smoothie support on CP. I do think it will take some folks to help out on the code if there are any volunteers.
The 1st part would just be getting a Smoothie buffer working in SPJS. It could make the most sense to use the TinyG buffer as the start point since that buffer is 100% perfect. That buffer does character counting and looks for an r:{} response to know the line got processed. I know Grbl sends an OK response instead, so guessing that’s what you send back when in “grbl-mode”. I know not a ton of folks know Go, but it really is so close to C it’s pretty easy to take up.
For the 2nd part, it could make sense to fork the Grbl workspace (or TinyG workspace) and then modify as needed and then deploy at http://chilipeppr.com/smoothie as the new standard workspace location.
I could help on direction/thoughts/approaches, but don’t have time to write code.
