I'm hoping someone can help clear up some confusion for me?
I understand that G code is generated by the slicing software and that certain code can be added to the slicer, ie footer and headers, however, within my printer configuration files that I browse to via the Duet web interface (I'm using the Duet V0.8.5) there are M and G codes there.
Do the G codes belong there? (I originally copied and pasted the configuration a couple of years back now and it's worked reasonably well with a few "quirks") I have edited these settings a little to make improvements to my machine, but I'm now wondering if having these G codes written here as well as through the slicer is causing some confusion?
From what I can establish, the G code is generated by the slicer for the job in hand and the M code is information the printer needs to move?
Any enlightenment would be appreciated
