## GRBL-Advanced란?

**GRBL-Advanced**는 CNC 밀링을 위한 “고성능/저비용” 지향의 GRBL 파생 펌웨어로, **STM32F411RE / STM32F446RE Nucleo 보드**에서 동작하도록 구성되어 있습니다.
기본 GRBL(v1.1, 2017)을 기반으로 하며, **look-ahead 기반 가속 관리(최대 16개의 모션 선행 계획)**로 “부드러운 가속과 코너에서의 충격(저크) 감소”를 목표로 합니다.

### 1) 16-step Look-ahead 가속 계획

다음 동작을 미리 보고 속도를 계획해 코너링이 매끄럽고, 가감속 품질을 끌어올리는 방식입니다.

### 2) 백래시(Backlash) 보정 기본 탑재

백래시 보정이 기본 활성화되어 있고, 설정 값은 **$140~$142(X/Y/Z 백래시 mm)**로 조정합니다.

### 3) 드릴 캔드 사이클(G81~G83), 5축(실험), 선반 모드 일부 지원

**드릴 캔드 사이클(G81~G83)** 추가

**로터리 축(5축) 실험적 지원**(오류 가능/주의 문구 포함)

## W5500로 이더넷 CNC 제어

GRBL-Advanced는 **USB 또는 ETHERNET**으로 제어할 수 있고, **이더넷 사용 시 W5500 모듈이 필요**하다고 명시돼 있습니다.
또한 기본 접속 정보로 **IP 192.168.1.20, 포트 30501**이 안내되어 있으며, 컨트롤 인터페이스로 **Candle 2** 사용을 권장합니다.

> 즉, “PC(또는 네트워크) → W5500(이더넷) → STM32 GRBL 컨트롤러” 형태의 구성이 가능해서, 장비 배치/케이블링 자유도가 확 올라갑니다.

## Candle2

Candle2는 **Qt 기반의 GRBL 컨트롤 GUI**로, PC에서 CNC 컨트롤러(예: GRBL/GRBL-Advanced)에 **G-code를 로드·편집·저장·전송**하고, 동작 경로를 **시각화(Visualizer)** 하는 용도로 쓰입니다. 기본적으로 “송신기 + 모니터링 + 시각화”를 한 프로그램에 묶어둔 형태라고 보면 됩니다.

기능은 크게 아래 정도로 정리됩니다:

G-code 파일 **로딩/편집/저장/전송**

G-code **시각화(Visualizing)Height map(높이맵)** 기능

또한 Candle2 릴리즈 안내에는 **GRBL 1.1과 GRBL-Advanced를 지원**하며, GRBL-Advanced는 **USB뿐 아니라 이더넷(GrIP)** 연결도 지원한다고 적혀 있습니다.

## What is GRBL-Advanced?

GRBL-Advanced is a GRBL-derived firmware aimed at **high performance at low cost** for CNC milling, and it is designed to run on **STM32F411RE / STM32F446RE Nucleo boards**.
It is based on **GRBL v1.1 (2017)** and targets **smoother acceleration and reduced corner shock (jerk)** through **look-ahead–based acceleration control (up to 16 motion blocks)**.

### 1) 16-step look-ahead acceleration planning

It plans speed by looking ahead at upcoming moves, which helps achieve smoother cornering and better overall acceleration/deceleration quality.

### 2) Built-in backlash compensation

Backlash compensation is enabled by default, and it can be adjusted using **$140–$142 (X/Y/Z backlash in mm)**.

### 3) Drill canned cycles (G81–G83), experimental 5-axis, and partial lathe mode support

Adds drill canned cycles **G81–G83Experimental rotary axis (5-axis) support** (may contain issues / includes caution notes)

**Lathe mode:G33 / G76** (requires a rotary encoder)

## Ethernet CNC control with W5500

GRBL-Advanced can be controlled via **USB or Ethernet**, and it explicitly states that a **W5500 module is required** for Ethernet use.
Default connection settings are **IP 192.168.1.20** and **port 30501**, and it recommends **Candle2** as the control interface.

In other words, you can build a setup like:
**“PC (or network) → W5500 (Ethernet) → STM32 GRBL controller”**, which greatly improves freedom in machine placement and cable routing.

## Candle2

Candle2 is a **Qt-based GRBL control GUI**. On a PC, it is used to **load, edit, save, and send G-code** to a CNC controller (e.g., GRBL/GRBL-Advanced) and to **visualize toolpaths (Visualizer)**. In practice, it’s an all-in-one application combining **sender + monitoring + visualization**.

Key features include:

**G-code file loading / editing / saving / sendingG-code visualization (Visualizing)Height map** feature

The Candle2 release notes also state that it supports **GRBL 1.1 and GRBL-Advanced**, and that GRBL-Advanced supports not only USB but also **Ethernet (GrIP)** connections.
