// If you use a servo instead of a spindle (like on EggBot or pen plotter), you need to uncomment this option.
// This will set the PWM frequency to 61Hz and limit the PWM range to 0.5 - 2.5ms, as used by most servos.

// With this enabled, Grbl sends back an echo of the line it has received, which has been pre-parsed (spaces

// sent upon a line buffer overflow, but should for all normal lines sent to Grbl. For example, if a user
