Set print acceleration

Sets the acceleration that axes can do in units/minute^2 for print moves.

Example: M201 X1000 Y1000 Z100 E2000"

Values get rounded to nearest whole number, in current G20/21 units.

For CoreXY and HJ-belt mechines, Y value is forced to that supplied for X (Y is ignored).

For Delta machines, X and Y values are forced to that supplied for X (Y and Z are ignored).

In all cases, axes H, A, B and C remain independant.

Set default print acceleration, dummy MCode

Set default acceleration. Dummy MCode for now.

Set or get end stop offsets

If no parameters are given, get the current end stop offsets.

To set the offset, provide the axes and their offset relative to

the current value. All values are in mm.

Example: M206 X0.1 Y-0.05 Z0.03

Set coordinate system

Set coordinate system. Parameter S set the type, which is 0 = Cartesian, 1 = H-belt, 2 = CoreXY, 3 = Delta

Set servo position

Set servo position. Use 'S' to specify angle, use 'P' to specify index, use F to specify speed.

Baby stepping

Baby stepping. This command tells the printer to apply the specified additional offset to the Z coordinate for all future moves, and to apply the offset to moves that have already been queued if this case be done. Baby stepping is cumulative, for example after M290 S0.1 followed by M290 S-0.02, an offset of 0.08mm is used.

M290 with no parameters reports the accumulated baby stepping offset.

The baby stepping offset is reset to zero when the printer is homed or the bed is probed.

Set P, I and D values, Format (M301 E0 P0.1 I100.0 D5.0)

Set P, I and D values, Format (M301 E0 P0.1 I100.0 D5.0)P = Kp, default = 0.0I = Ti, default = 0.0D = Td, default = 0.0E = Extruder, -1=Bed, 0=E, 1=H, 2=A, 3=B, 4=C, default = 0

Run PID tuning

PID Tuning refers to a control algorithm used in some repraps to tune heating behavior for hot ends and heated beds. This command generates Proportional (Kp), Integral (Ki), and Derivative (Kd) values for the hotend or bed (E-1). Send the appropriate code and wait for the output to update the firmware.

Inputs:

H<0 or 1> overrides the extruder. Use H-1 for heated bed.

Default is the 'E' extruder with index 0.

S overrides the temperature to calibrate for. Default is 200.

N overrides the number of cycles to run, default is 4

P (0,1) Enable pre-calibration. Useful for systems with very high power

L Tuning algorithm. 0 = Tyreus-Luyben, 1 = Zieger-Nichols classic

Set or get direction and search length for end stops

Set or get direction and search length for end stops

If not tokens are given, return the end stop travel search length in mm.

If tokens are given, they must be a space separated list of pairs.

Example: 'M308 X250 Y220'. This will set the travel search length for the

X nd Y axis to 250 and 220 mm. Th values will appear in the config file in meters, thus 0.25 and 0.22

Get a status report from each filament sensor connected, or enable action command

Get a status report from each filament sensor connectedIf the token 'H' is present, get a human readable status. If no token is present, return a machine readable form, similar to the return from temperature sensors, M105.

If token 'S' is present without token value, enable sending filament data for all sensors. If a value is present, enable sending filament data for this extruder number.

Examples:

M409 S0 - enables sending filament data for Extruder 0 (E)

M409 S - Enable action command filament data for all filament sensors

M409 D - Disable sending filament data for all filament sensors

Store parameters to file

Save all changed parameters to file.

Set probe point

Set the points at which the bed will be probed to compensate for its plane being slightly out of horizontal. The P value is the index of the point (indices start at 0) and the X and Y values are the position to move extruder 0 to to probe the bed. An implementation should allow a minimum of three points (P0, P1 and P2). This just records the point coordinates; it does not actually do the probing.

P = Probe point number.

X = X-coordinate

Y = Y-coordinate

Z = Z-coordinate. If missing, set to 0.

Values for X/Y/Z are in mm, regadless of current G20/G21 status.

Set probe type

Example: M558 P0

where P can be

0 - Servo with Switch

1 - IR

2 - IR

3 - Proximity sensor

A Z probe may be a switch (the default) an IR proximity sensor, or some other

device. This selects which to use. P0 gives a switch. P1 gives an unmodulated

IR probe, or any other probe type that emulates an unmodulated IR probe (probe

output is an analog signal that rises with decreasing nozzle height above

the bed). If there is a control signal to the probe, it is driven high when

the probe type is P1. P2 specifies a modulated IR probe, where the modulation

is commanded directly by the main board firmware using the control signal to

the probe. P3 selects an alternative Z probe by driving the control signal to

the probe low. See also G31 and G32.

Show, update or reset bed level matrix to identity

This cancels any bed-plane fitting as the result of probing (or anything else) and returns the machine to moving in the user's coordinate system.

Add 'S' to show the marix instead of resetting it.

Add 'U' to update the current matrix based on probe data

Reset temperature fault.

Reset a temperature fault on heater/sensor If the priner has switched off and locked a heater because it has detected a fault, this will reset the fault condition and allow you to use the heater again. Obviously to be used with caution. If the fault persists it will lock out again after you have issued this command. P0 is the bed; P1 the first extruder, and so on.

Set or get stepper direction

Set the direction for each axis. Use for each of the axes you want.Axis is one of X, Y, Z, E, H, A, B, C and direction is 1 or -1Note: This will store the result in the local config and restart the path planner. If no tokens are given, return the current config.

Set or get end stop config

If no tokens are given, return the current end stop config. To set the end stop config:

This G-code takes one end stop, and one configuration where the configuration is which stepper motors to stop and the direction in which to stop it.

Example:

M574 X1 x_ccw

(The single space separators are required.)

This will cause the X axis to stop moving in the counter clock wise direction.

Note that this recompiles and restarts the firmware.

Set stepper slave mode

Set stepper slave mode, making one stepper follow the other.

If no tokens are given, return the current setup

For each token, set the second argument as slave to the first

So M608 XY will set Y as a slave to X

If only the axis is given, no slave is set.

Set delta arm calibration values

L sets the length of the arm. If the objects printed are too small, try increasing(?) the length of the arm

R sets the radius of the towers. If the measured points are too convex, try increasing the radius

Set or get axis offset values

Set or get axis offset values. If no tokens are given, reuturn the current offset values.If tokens are given, set the offset value to each of the tokens given in mm.

Format: M666 offset2>

Example: 'M666 X200' sets the X-axis to have offset 200 mm.

This M-code is to set the offset, to adjust the offset, use M206

Adjust backlash compensation for each named axis

Adjust backlash compensation for each named axis

Set stepper current in mA

Set the stepper current. Unit is mA. Typical use is 'M906 X400'.This sets the current to 0.4A on the X stepper motor driver.Can be set for multiple stepper motor drivers at once.

Set stepper current in A

Set stepper current in A

Set microstepping value

Example: M909 X3 Y5 Z2 E3

Set the microstepping value for each of the steppers. In Redeem this is implemented as 2^value, so M909 X2 sets microstepping to 2^2 = 4, M909 Y3 sets microstepping to 2^3 = 8 etc.

Set stepper controller decay mode

Example: M910 X3 Y5 Z2 E3Set the decay mode foreach of the steppers. In Redeem this is implementedfor Replicape rev B as a combination of CFG0, CFG4, CFG5.A value between 0 and 7 is allowed, setting the three registers to the binary value represented by CFG0, CFG4, CFG5.

CFG0 is chopper off time, the duration of slow decay phase.

CFG4 is chopper hysteresis, the tuning of zero crossing precision.

CFG5 is the chopper blank time, the dureation of banking of switching spike.

Please refer to the data sheet for further details on the configs.
