MaslowCNC Wiki: Electronics | Firmware | Mechanics | Software | Community Garden

G Code is the 'language of CNC' machines, providing the instructions for machine movement. MaslowCNC is considered a '3 Axis' CNC machine, being able to mill in 3 dimensions, but G Code can be used to control much more complicated machines, and has an instruction set much wider than that which MaslowCNC requires or understands. This page attempts to set out some guidelines and instruction for understanding G Code in relation to MaslowCNC, and G Code in general for the better operation of MaslowCNC.
