CNC Information | Learn CNC | CNC Programming G-Code

I realize this really isn't the right forum(should be in programming) but I only saw g codes and m codes(nothing for general programming questions).

Anyway, I'm in the process of teaching myself some programming and wanted to be able to add comments to my programs(so I know what I'm trying to do later on). Is there a way to add comments to a program that the interpreter will ignore?

I am using cncsimulator to learn on before I go to the real thing.

thanks in advance

Hi Dude

yes in fact you can write a long story as long as you use ( in the beginning and ) at the end.

example:

%
MPF1
n10 go g54 x0.0 y0,0 ( centre of the workpiece );
n20 g43 h02 z100.0 ( tool length compensation );
n25 ( you can even add a block with just writting like this );
n30 s600 mo3 ( spindle speed and direction );
n40 m30 ( end of program );
%

Excellent, that's exactly what I needed to know.

thanks very much!
