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 or more points. The printer must be homed with G28 before G29.
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

Movement M Codes

M0   - Wait for user, with optional prompt message (to press the LCD button, requires ULTRA_LCD)
       M0 Click When Ready ; show "Click When Ready" until the button is pressed.
M1   - Same as M0
M400 - Finish all moves
M999 - Restart after being stopped by error

SD Card M Codes

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)

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.
