Enable Arc Support in the firmware #26

Please enable Arc Support in the firmware build so that modern features can be used.

"Marlin Marlin has supported arc commands for a long time. However, starting with version 2.0.6 arc support has been greatly enhanced. I recommend you upgrade to at least this version before using Arc Welder because your experience will be much better. Arc support must be enabled in your Configuration_adv.h file.

For recent versions of Marlin (2.0.6 and above), you can send an M115 to see if your firmware has ARC_SUPPORT enabled. For earlier versions you can send an empty G2 or G3 command. If your printer responds with unknown command, arc support is not enabled.

If your printer is running a fork of Marlin, but arc support is not enabled or is buggy, I recommend creating an issue within the fork’s repository.

“A plugin that can convert curves into arcs will be massively welcome and should make a great improvement in performance and print results.”

Scott Lahteine - Creator of Marlin Firmware"

Hope there will be an update on this soon, casting my vote for including ARC support!
