  Apparently g-code is language for 3d machines / CNC.

    Yeah you can use it for 3D printing, if I remember correctly each machine has their own spec for it, its almost like "assembly" for 3D printers.

      I think of it more as like the modem AT command set, but for the simpler side of industrial robotics.

      Correct. It's how machines can implement new functionality (like multicolor, which entails additional steps like withdrawing the current filament, purging the nozzle of the current color, etc)

    Yeah, I remember writing gcode on paper in school to control a wire EDM machine

  The test gcode in the repository adds almost 5mb to the crate size you might want to consider excluding[1] them

  Perfect timing, I've been playing around with winnow this week. it'll be good to see how others are using it

  Wow… that code seems to do a lot… but the amount of code is tiny! That’s fairly impressive…

  The table of contents has a Features entry that doesn't link to any heading.
