Delta Robot Github Update now supports GCODE

v6 of the code now supports G00, G01, G02, G03, and M114. That’s more than the two year old version ever understood. Honestly? I looked at the old code and got a little sick in my mouth. I was never able to get the G02 and G03 working. Problem solved! It also does some basic sanity checking so you can’t drive it to an impossible place or set the speed to zero.

Once you’ve built this machine, read the code, and learned how it works you’ll have a deep understanding of one of the most commonly used industrial robots, along a wicked robot and a smart answer to the question “what good are parallelograms, anyways?”

I just noticed this is post 301. Woo! 500 in three months? Wake me when you have a challenge.
