Brand new to this

Hello,

I am a fanuc /haas trained programmer and just purchased a linuxcnc machine.No idea how these g an m codes relate to haas control. Any videos or quick all together posts I can get started with? Thank you

Do you have specific questions? linuxcnc is in general FANUC like.
Here is the gcode overview;

Here is the gcode reference:

While we are talking about differences...
Do you ever use FANUC's m98 m99 sub program feature?
Linuxcnc doesn't support it but there is pull request to add it - there is debate about whether it's worth the possible trouble.

Yes, On the very large machines that I ran, m98 was for picking up a tooling head at a location on the 30 foot table. m99 was dropping that head off. The only real reason you would want this feature would be if you wanted to leave your probe on the table, write a routing in which the probe is picked up. It is essentially like an automatic tool changer routine without a tool changer.

Thanks for the links. I have discovered that this operates pretty similar to haas and fanuc. I have learned and incredible amount about this versatile system. In 14 years of work, I have never ever heard of open source CNC. This stuff you guys do here is awesome. I took the easy way out and just bought two machines allready retrofitted. But fixing them and building my own will be very easy to do.
