TinyG is a 6 axis motion control system designed for high-performance on small to mid-sized machines. Some features:
- 6 axis motion (XYXABC axes)
- jerk controlled motion for acceleration planning (3rd order motion planning)
- status displays ('?' character)
- XON/XOFF protocol over serial
- config is necessarily different to take into account the larger number of settings
- RESTful interface using JSON
See these links for more details.
The current master version is 0.95, BUILD 370.01 Please refer to the TinyG wiki for documentation and user manuals
IMPORTANT: If you are running a TinyG version 6 or earlier be sure to set the $hv value to 6 after you load version 0.95. Run $hv=6 and verify that it took. This addresses HW changes between the versions.

MASTER is the current production code. This is not updated very frequently. EDGE branch is thought to be relatively stable, but has not received enough testing to be promoted to maser DEV is work in process. THere are no gurantees that it will even run. This code from dev only if specificlly sent there
