Drilling Cycles Module

The canned drilling cycles module is a short G-Code produced by some serious CAM software to make holes. In addition to adding some features, this significantly reduces the number of instructions sent through the serial port.

Currently, the drilling cycles module implements the first three options in absolute mode G90 only. For a complete list/description of G-Code, see Tormach’s G81-G89 Background.

[!WARNING] Incremental mode not implemented (L).

[!DANGER] In relative mode G91, drilling holes operations are ignored.
