Smoothie is primarily a G-code interpreter. Here is a list of the G-codes that are currently supported :
G codes
| G-Code | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| G0 | Move to the given coordinates. To the contrary of G1, if there is a tool it will most of the time be off during this kind of move. This is a "go to" move rather than a "do while going to" move. The F parameter defines speed and is remembered by subsequent commands ( specified in millimetres/minute ) (command is modal) | G0 X10 Y-5 F100 |
| G1 | Move to the given coordinates, see above for difference with G0. Takes the same F parameter as G0. (command is modal) | G1 X20 Y-2.3 F200 |
| G2 | Clockwise circular motion : go to point with coordinates XYZ while rotating around point with relative coordinates IJ (command is not modal) | G2 X10 J5 |
| G3 | Counter-clockwise motion : see above (command is not modal) | G3 Y5 X10 I2 |
| G4 | Dwell S<seconds> or P<milliseconds> | G4 P1000 |
| G10 | Do firmware extruder retract | G10 |
| G10 L2 G10 L20 | set workspace coordinates http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/coordinates.html and http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g10-l2 | G10 L2 P1 X0 |
| G11 | Do firmware extruder un-retract | G11 |
| G17 | Select XYZ plane (command is modal) | G17 |
| G18 | Select XZY plane (command is modal) | G18 |
| G19 | Select YZX plane (command is modal) | G19 |
| G20 | Inch mode : passed coordinates will be considered as Inches, so internally translated to millimeters (command is modal) | G20 |
| G21 | Millimeter mode ( default ) : passed coordinates will be considered as millimeters (command is modal) | G21 |
| G30 | Simple Z probe at current XY, reports distance moved down until probe triggers. optional F parameter defines the speed of probing, zprobe.slow_feedrate is used when not supplied | G30 - G30 F100 |
| G31 | Report current Z probe status | G31 |
| G32 | Uses Z probe to calibrate delta endstops and arm radius, use R parameter to select only arm radius calibration and E to select only endstop calibration. I to set target precision, J to set probe_radius, K to keep current endstop trim settings. In Zgrid module, it starts the grid probing | G32 - G32 R - G32 E - G32 EK - G32 I0.02 |
| G28 | Home The given axis, or if no axis specified home all axis at the same time (edge) | G28 |
| G53-G59.3 | use workspace coordinates http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/coordinates.html and http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g54-g59.3 | G54 |
| G90 | Absolute mode ( default ) : passed coordinates will be considered absolute ( relative to 0.0.0 ) (command is modal) | G90 |
| G91 | Relative mode : passed coordinates will be considered relative to the current point (command is modal) | G91 |
| G92 | Set current position to specified coordinates http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g92 | G92 X0 Y0 Z0 |
| G92.1 | clear the G92 offsets | G92.1 |

Tool change
Tn will change the tool to n for all future commands, it may appear anywhere on the line or on a line by itself
T1 M200
M200 T1
NOTE This is not compatible with the G-code spec, but unfortunately most slicers create incorrect Gcode for tool change.
