#1 G-Code Firmware: Command Processing Delay Compensation Patch

[Shane Hathaway]

In the G-code firmware for Arduino and Sanguino, each G1 (or G0) command involves a fair amount of floating point computation before stepping the motors. The computation delay leads to blobbing when drawing a series of short segments. The attached patch causes the firmware to compensate for the delay by drawing short segments at a higher feedrate.

In my testing, I have found that this patch is reliable and replaces the need for other adjustments. See:
