Add support for the Marlin firmware #46

Open zalohasa opened 10 years ago

I'm adding support for the Marlin firmware when used in CNC machines instead of 3D Printers (Cyclone PCB and Portal Cyclone, for example)

Added a marlin gcode compatibility layer that changes some standar GCode commands to adapt them for Marlin. For example, Marlin does not support the F command, but you can use G1 FXX instead. Another example, Marlin does not support G0 as a full speed move, so now you can set up a G0 feed speed and use that speed for every G0 command, while maintainig the original feed speed for every other command. This feature needs more coding and testing.
