A new status, Tool has been added for the tool change protocol.
Note that a report with the Home status is now pushed before the homing sequence starts. While homing status report requests are queued and not responded to.
Optional substatuses can be added to some statuses depending on $10 setting flags.
Run{:<1|2>} - feed hold pending or probing.
1 - feed hold pending. A feed hold issued during a spindle synchronized motion will be delayed until this is finished. Until then this substate will be added.
2 - is probing motion.
Alarm{:<alarm code>} - current alarm code. Note that is is always added starting from build 20201212 if alarm code is > 0 and the report is requested by sending 0x87.
Enhanced element |PN:<signals>
<signals> is a string containing any of the following letters:
P - probe triggered
O - probe disconnected, new
X - X limit switch asserted
Y - Y limit switch asserted
Z - Z limit switch asserted
A - A limit switch asserted, new
B - B limit switch asserted, new
C - C limit switch asserted, new
D - Door switch asserted
R - Reset switch asserted
H - Feed hold switch asserted
S - Cycle start switch asserted
E - E-Stop switch asserted, new
L - Block delete switch asserted, new
T - Optional program stop switch asserted, new
W - Motor warning, new
M - Motor fault, new
Enhanced element |A:<accessory status
<accessory status> is a string containing any of the following letters:
S - spindle is running in a clockwise direction (M3)
C - spindle is running in a counterclockwise direction (M4)
M - mist coolant is on (M7)
F - flood coolant is on (M8)
T - tool change is pending (M6), new
New element |WCS:G<coordinate system> added on a coordinate system change.
New element |MPG:<0|1> used to inform that a pendant has released/taken control of the input stream.
0 - pendant has released control, senders should resume normal operation - pendant enters listening mode.
1 - pendant has taken over input stream, senders should disable UI but still update controls.
New element |SD:<pct complete>{,<filename>} used to inform status when streaming from SD card.
New element |H:<0|1>{,<axis bitmask>} used to report homing status changes.
0 - homing is not complete.
1 - homing complete.
<axis bitmask> is only added if single axis homing commands are enabled, if so this contains which axes are currently homed.
This element is only added when homing is enabled and then on homing status changes.
New element |D:<0|1> used to report radius/diameter mode changes.
0 - G8: radius mode (default).
1 - G7: diameter mode.
This status is only reported when lathe mode is enabled.
New element |Sc:<axisletters> used to report which axes are scaled, only added on changes.
New element |TLR:<0|1> used to report tool length reference offset status, only added on changes.
0 - Not set.
1 - Set.
New element |FW:<firmware> used to report firmware type, only added to full report requested by 0x87.
This element is always reported as |FW:grblHAL and only when COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL is less than 2. Available from build 20210112.
New element |In:<result> used to report last result from M66 - Wait for input, only added on changes.
-1 is reported if M66 execution failed, 0 or positive value if not. For digital inputs 0 for low level or 1 for high level is reported. Available from build 20210613.
Since some of the elements are only sent on changes an additional real time request character, 0x87, has been added for getting the complete status.
NOTE: Drivers and/or plugins may extend this report with additional elements. Senders should be able to handle that, as a minimum by ignoring them.
NOTE: all request responses are delimited with (ends with) ok after the last line.
$I response:
Number of supported axes and tool table entries added to the first line:
[OPT:<options>,<block buffer size>,<RX buffer size>{,<number of axes>{,<number of tool table entries>}}]
$I+ extended response adds these tags:
A second line of options is added:
[NEWOPT:<comma separated list>]
<comma separated list> can contain any of the following values:
ATC - Automatic tool change (M6) available.
BD - Block delete signal/handling available.
BT - Bluetooth streaming available.

NOPROBE - probe input not available.
ODO - odometer data is available.
OS - Optional stop signal/handling available.
PC - Probe connected signal/handling available.
PID - PID log data available.
RT+ or RT- - Top bit set versions of printable real-time commands plus some additional ones are available.
SED - Settings descriptions available. Use $SED=<n> to output description for setting <n>, e.g. $SED=14 to get a description for $14.
SD - SD Card streaming available.
SS - Spindle sync available.
TC - Manual tool change (M6) available.
WIFI - Wi-Fi streaming available.
A third line with firmware name added:
[FIRMWARE:grblHAL]
If auxilary inputs or outputs are available number of ports is added, e.g:
[AUX IO:3,1,0,0]
The comma separated list contains number of digital inputs, digital outputs, analog inputs and analog outputs respectively. Available from build 20210613.
Optional driver info, e.g:
[DRIVER:MSP432]
[DRIVER VERSION:200928]
[DRIVER OPTIONS:USB]
[BOARD:CNC BoosterPack]
Optional plugin info, e.g.:
[PLUGIN:KEYPAD v1.00]
etc. for each plugin deciding to report itself.
$G response:
[GC:<parser state>]
Some missing from legacy grbl and new gcodes added, these are:
G5 G7 G8 G43 G49 G50 G51 G73 G81 G82 G83 G85 G86 G89 G96 G97 G98 G99 M1 M50 M51 M53 M56 M60
A new setting flag has been added to $10 for pushing this report on changes (following a status report request).
NOTE: Further codes may be added to this list as they become supported.
$# response:
Offsets for G59.1, G59.2 and G59.3 has been added.
If scaling is active scaling factors are added:
[G51:<axis scaling factors>]
If homing is enabled axis home positions in machine coordinates are added together with a bitmask indicating which axis values are valid.
[HOME:<axis home positions>:<axis bitmask>]
If a tool table is available (a compile time option in grbl/config.h) tool table contents is added.
[T:<tool number>,<axis offsets>]
TLO report may include offsets for all axes, dependent on compatibility level.
[TLO:<<offset>|<axis offsets>>]
If tool length reference offset is set with the $TLR command, offset for the linear axis is added .
NOTE: This may change in future versions to include offsets for all axes. Senders parsing this tag should be coded to handle that.
[TLR:<tool length reference offset>]
Code sets and translations can be fetched from the controller, superseding the use of files that has to be kept in sync. Since grblHAL supports plugins and driver specific extensions it will be hard to keep senders up to date via files that has to be updated.
Alarms can be enumerated with the $EA system command. Response is one line for each alarm, last line is ok.
[ALARMCODE:<code>|<message>|<description>]
[ALARMCODE:1|Hard limit|Hard limit has been triggered. Machine position is likely lost due to sudden halt. Re-homing is highly recommended.]

[ERRORCODE:<code>|<message>|<description>]
[ERRORCODE:1|Expected command letter|G-code words consist of a letter and a value. Letter was not found.]
Settings can be enumerated with the $ES, $ESG or $ESH system commands. Response is one line for each setting, last line is ok.
