Grbl_clearcore status

[DaveH225]

Hi @holla2040,

I've just received a ClearCore and was wondering how far you've progressed with your grblHAL driver. I'm looking to get a basic grbl setup going and was hoping to use your project as a starting point. I've successfully used your blink example using the Makefile and flashed via an Atmel ICE programmer, (on an Ubuntu PC). I can also make the grbl_clearcore project and flash it without errors, but I'm not getting any response to grbl commands over USB, ($ and $$). I have tried some of the Teknic examples via the Arduino IDE that write back to the serial monitor and those have worked fine. So, just wondering the status of this before I delve in further.

Thanks!

I've been swamped with a project for the past 6 months and haven't got back to it. This project should conclude this week and free up some time.

Thanks for the reply. I've made a little progress by using the COM-0 port instead of USB. I now get a response of SD begin failed, but I have no SD card in the ClearCore, and no config file yet, so that's to be expected. At least now I get a response I can start digging through everything without being completely in the dark. I appreciate your efforts on this port and hopefully I'll be able to contribute back at some point.

I'd like to move development to platformio (using arduino libraries) instead of using arduino IDE. It will make debugging a lot easier. Last time I checked and worked on this, the clearcore's processor wasn't directly supported by platformio. I started working on this but couldn't figure out how structure the platformio files. Have you any experience here?

[DaveH225]

I haven't had any experience with platformio. I used to use Microchip MPLAB X IDE for PIC32 development on Linux, so I was disappointed to find that Atmel Studio is only Windows based. I've installed it on my Windows laptop anyway and was planning on using this for debugging. I have taken a quick look at platformio and maybe I'll dig in to it some more when I get more time. Right now I have the ClearCore responding to GRBL commands and started auto-tuning my ClearPath motors. Hopefully I'll get some motion going this weekend!

We should have a conversation, can you find my email address?

How are you guy going with this? I now have a Clearcore and a long weekend ahead of me. I would like to get some motion happening this weekend @DaveH225 @holla2040
