Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Digraphs and Trigraphs
Ooh another fun one you may be interested in is how I wrote Teacup's config handling - the user has to provide a config.h with various macros defining their machine setup, and then multiple separate parts of the codebase redefine those macros and re-include the file to build various structures and constants at compile-time

Advice to an engineering student
Since then I've made lots of things like audio amplifiers and effects, motor controllers, 3d printer controllers and firmware (and subsequently smoothieboard), muscle stimulators, bluetooth LED strip controllers, etc

How is max step rate calculated for stepper motor libraries
Teacup can go pretty fast too, I think I've seen it clocked at 48k @ 20MHz although that may have been across 4 motors at once.

Arduino UNO ADC using Embedded C
See here and here for an example from my ESC project, or this example from Teacup

best Microcontroller for fast stepper motors?
https://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/classAccelStepper.html says "The fastest motor speed that can be reliably supported is about 4000 steps per second at a clock frequency of 16 MHz on Arduino" which is pretty poor - teacup can hit something like 10× that when controlling 4 steppers, and also comes with a non-blocking state machine based gcode parser ;)
-
15 steppers on a Mega?
Teacup had decent performance last time I checked, but it's more a complete firmware project rather than a library.
-
Total beginner, want to control two NEMA 17 stepper motors via mathematical function.
That's hard enough just with linear acceleration let alone complex functions - might be worth converting it to line segments host-side and just streaming basic gcode to a 3D printer firmware over the serial port.
-
Driving a stepper motor faster using AccelStepper
Last time I checked, Teacup can do something like 40kHz on an atmega - might be worth having a play with that?
-
Help. Stepper Motor not spinning when I increase the speed
AccelStepper may interest you, and I think Teacup can go even faster.
-
Just updated to the latest firmware, Can I change acceleration/jerk/etc on the fly now? Middle of a print?
The latest what? Teacup? Marlin? Aprinter? Repetier? GRBL? Something else?

Digraphs and Trigraphs
I originally wrote Teacup because I was horrified at numerous aspects of the state of other 3d printer firmware codebases available, but after a few years I became far more interested in Smoothie and officially relinquished leadership of Teacup to Traumflug who'd been doing far more work on it than me at the time

How can I let linux/windows recognize my hareware in general through usb?
Also, Windows' USB stack is a complete dumpster fire - in Linux your thing just needs to say "hi I've got camera interfaces" in the device descriptor and you're mostly good to go, but Windows needs actual driver development, or at least a magic text file to tell it to use its preinstalled drivers.
-
Arduino Leonardo(or similar) MIDIUSB.h and Keyboard.h simultaneously?
Fwiw I wrote the runtime descriptor construction code for smoothie which is how I know it's possible - and yet even after a decade, I don't see any other firmware libraries with similar descriptor construction mechanisms which is sad.
-
Problems With a ATMEGA2560 Board (CH340)
Smoothie has a dynamic device descriptor, and adding an extra serial port via config setting is a fairly reliable way to bluescreen windows.
-
Access mass storage tf card through arduino
There's a few forum threads around (eg this one regarding the Teensy arduino core), but I haven't seen any firmware stacks with the dynamic USB descriptor initialization and endpoint allocation you'd need for runtime custom USB function sets other than the one I wrote for Smoothie a decade ago.
-
Is it possible to turn an SPI Flash Chip into a USB Flash Drive?
PS: USB in a nutshell is a great read if you're planning to work with USB firmware stacks - was super helpful when I was massaging Smoothie's USB stack
-
USB serial driver for Teensy LC on Windows 98 SE?
Bizarrely however, you need a magic text file to convince windows to actually use it with a particular device - despite the fact that USB was specifically designed for this to be entirely unnecessary as devices must describe themselves to the host on connect and there are many standardized interface patterns.
-
Why is this field so entry-level unfriendly?
I've been thinking of creating a 3D printer to print buildings or maybe a CNC machine for milling lumber out of these trees. I've got an upper-end Smoothieboard so I could do that.

I need a controller/software recommendations for my plasma tube notcher.
I've been fairly happy with Smoothieware http://smoothieware.org
What are some alternatives?
grbl - An open source, embedded, high performance g-code-parser and CNC milling controller written in optimized C that will run on a straight Arduino
mbed-os - Arm Mbed OS is a platform operating system designed for the internet of things
AccelStepper - Fork of AccelStepper
DWC-CNC
Marlin - Marlin is an optimized firmware for RepRap 3D printers based on the Arduino platform. Many commercial 3D printers come with Marlin installed. Check with your vendor if you need source code for your specific machine.
