I wonder if there's an easy way to sync the stepping rate to the speed of an (quadrature) encoder signal.
If implemented, grbl could be used as a lathe cnc controller (e.g. for threading), or as a controller for the 4th axis of a mill (e.g. for gear cutting).
But I must admit, that I didn't dive into the planner code...
