# Implemented G Codes

## G Codes

```
G0  -> G1
G1  - Coordinated Movement X Y Z E
G2  - CW ARC
G3  - CCW ARC
G4  - Dwell S[seconds] or P[milliseconds]
G10 - retract filament according to settings of M207
G11 - retract recover filament according to settings of M208
G28 - Home all Axis
G29 - Detailed Z-Probe, probes the bed at 3 points.  You must be at the home position for this to work correctly.
G30 - Single Z Probe, probes bed at current XY location.
G31 - Dock Z Probe sled (if enabled)
G32 - Undock Z Probe sled (if enabled)
G90 - Use Absolute Coordinates
G91 - Use Relative Coordinates
G92 - Set current position to cordinates given
```
## M Codes
```

M17  - Enable/Power all stepper motors
M18  - Disable all stepper motors; same as M84

       Call gcode file : "M32 P !filename#" and return to caller file after finishing (similar to #include).
       The '#' is necessary when calling from within sd files, as it stops buffer prereading

# Comments

Comments start at a `;` (semicolon) and end with the end of the line:

    N3 T0*57 ; This is a comment
    N4 G92 E0*67
    ; So is this
    N5 G28*22

(example taken from the [RepRap wiki](http://reprap.org/wiki/Gcode#Comments))

If you need to use a literal `;` somewhere (for example within `M117`), you can escape semicolons with a `\`
(backslash):

     M117 Hello \;)

`\` can also be used to escape `\` itself, if you need a literal `\` in front of a `;`:

    M117 backslash: \\;and a comment

Please note that hosts should strip any comments before sending GCODE to the printer in order to save bandwidth.
