gcode.py is to translate G-code into internal calls. Changes in

`ToolHead.move() -> MoveQueue.add_move() -> MoveQueue.flush() ->

Move.set_junction() -> Move.move()`.
|

Move.set_junction() -> ToolHead._process_moves()`.
|

* ToolHead.move() creates a Move() object with the parameters of the

move (in cartesian space and in units of seconds and millimeters).

* The kinematics class is given the opportunity to audit each move

located in the klippy/kinematics/ directory. The check_move() code

may raise an error if the move is not valid. If check_move()

completes successfully then the underlying kinematics must be able

to handle the move.

contains these three phases in this order, but some phases may be of

|

* When Move.move() is called, everything about the move is known -
|

its start location, its end location, its acceleration, its
|

start/cruising/end velocity, and distance traveled during

* The goal of the kinematics classes is to translate the movement in

cartesian space to movement on each stepper. The kinematics classes

are located in the klippy/kinematics/ directory. The kinematic class

is given a chance to audit the move (`ToolHead.move() ->

kin.check_move()`) before it goes on the look-ahead queue, but once
|

the move arrives in *kin*.move() the kinematic class is required to
|

handle the move as specified. Note that the extruder is handled in
|
||||
its own kinematic class. Since the Move() class specifies the exact
|
||||
movement time and since step pulses are sent to the micro-controller
|

with specific timing, stepper movements produced by the extruder

class will be in sync with head movement even though the code is

kept separate.

* Klipper uses an
|
||||
[iterative solver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm)
|
||||
to generate the step times for each stepper. For efficiency reasons,
|
||||
the stepper pulse times are generated in C code. The code flow is:
|
||||
`kin.move() -> MCU_Stepper.step_itersolve() ->
|
||||
itersolve_gen_steps()` (in klippy/chelper/itersolve.c). The goal of
|
||||
the iterative solver is to find step times given a function that
|
||||
calculates a stepper position from a time. This is done by
|
||||
repeatedly "guessing" various times until the stepper position
|
||||
formula returns the desired position of the next step on the
|
||||
stepper. The feedback produced from each guess is used to improve
|
||||
future guesses so that the process rapidly converges to the desired
|
||||
time. The kinematic stepper position formulas are located in the
|
||||
klippy/chelper/ directory (eg, kin_cart.c, kin_corexy.c,
|
||||
kin_delta.c, kin_extruder.c).
|
||||
the stepper pulse times are generated in C code. The moves are first
|
||||
placed on a "trapezoid motion queue": `ToolHead._process_moves() ->
|
||||
trapq_append()` (in klippy/chelper/trapq.c). The step times are then
|
||||
generated: `ToolHead._process_moves() ->
|
||||
ToolHead._update_move_time() -> MCU_Stepper.generate_steps() ->
|
||||
itersolve_generate_steps() -> itersolve_gen_steps_range()` (in
|
||||
klippy/chelper/itersolve.c). The goal of the iterative solver is to
|
||||
find step times given a function that calculates a stepper position
|
||||
from a time. This is done by repeatedly "guessing" various times
|
||||
until the stepper position formula returns the desired position of
|
||||
the next step on the stepper. The feedback produced from each guess
|
||||
is used to improve future guesses so that the process rapidly
|
||||
converges to the desired time. The kinematic stepper position
|

formulas are located in the klippy/chelper/ directory (eg,

kin_cart.c, kin_corexy.c, kin_delta.c, kin_extruder.c).

`ToolHead._process_moves() -> PrinterExtruder.move()`. Since

the Move() class specifies the exact movement time and since step
