gcode writing for marlin
September 03, 2016 04:04AM
hi all,
i am trying to generate my custom gcodes with rhino-grasshopper. but i need to understand better gcode mechanism. i am using this page as a source: [reprap.org]

so there is this to start:
Gnnn :	Standard GCode command, such as move to a point

it says G0 is rapid and G1 is normal speed. but are we determining these speeds in firmware? how can i change speed to something between? or slower than G1? (or faster if G0 is not the max?)

more questions will come as i go further with writing gcodes,

thanks

G0 and G1 are identical in marlin

You add a F parameter to specify the requested feed rate

eg. G1 X100 F4000

F is in mm per minute

The only thing in firmware is the maxfeed rate values, this is the max feedrate you can request, anything over that is just set to the max value.
