bbctrl.AuxAxis manages a stepper driven by an auxcnc-style ESP32
over /dev/ttyUSB0 (or whichever serial port). Persistent config in
aux.json; UI talks to it via /api/aux/* endpoints.
- AuxAxis: serial framing, position tracking, soft-limit enforcement,
homing state machine, ATC pneumatic control (M100..M103 wrappers).
- Ctrl: instantiate self.aux alongside the other subsystems and
close it during shutdown.
- Web: handlers for /api/aux/{config,status,home,abort,jog,move,set-zero}.
Adds bbctrl.Hooks: a small dispatch layer for HOOK:<event>:<data>
messages embedded in g-code as (MSG,HOOK:droptool:) etc. Hooks can
block the unpause until the registered callback completes and
auto-resume after.
- bbctrl.Hooks: registry, fire, dispatch_hook_message, persistent
config in hooks.json, REST surface (/api/hooks, /api/hooks/save,
/api/hooks/status, /api/hooks/fire/<event>).
- Ctrl: instantiate self.hooks alongside the other subsystems.
- Planner._add_message: when a (MSG,...) line is HOOK:<event>:<data>,
route it through ctrl.hooks instead of state.messages so it never
surfaces as a UI popup and dispatch is immediate (state.messages
has a 250ms debounce).
- Web: handlers for the /api/hooks routes.
bbctrl.Trace records monotonic-anchored events from process start.
Ctrl, Comm, the Web layer and __init__ are instrumented so a single
GET /api/diag/timing returns a full timeline of import, controller
init, AVR connection, first websocket, and first GET /. The
restart-timing.js client posts performance.now() marks back so the
browser side can be aligned in the same view.
Used to drive the cold-boot optimisations that reduce listen latency
on the Pi by ~8s.
Importing camotics.gplan pulls in a C++ extension (libstdc++,
boost::python, etc.) which adds several seconds to bbctrl startup
on the Pi. Defer it to Planner.init() — bbctrl can serve the UI
and accept connections without ever touching the planner, and the
penalty is paid only the first time motion is queued.
Tornado removed @web.asynchronous in 6.x; bbctrl on the Pi runs an
older but compatible async-aware build. Switching to coroutine syntax
keeps the streaming endpoint working across Tornado 5/6.
Recursive _rotate() may have already moved or unlinked the source path
by the time we try to rename it (also tolerates concurrent logrotate
runs from /etc/cron.reboot). Catch FileNotFoundError instead of
crashing bbctrl on startup.
