Allowed or disallowed characters in g-code comments was created by kentavv
Hi. I'm modifying a Fusion 360 post processor to add information to the comments in the generated g-code. I need to avoid characters not allowed by LinuxCNC. What characters are allowed or disallowed?
Are / and " OK? (They work currently, I didn't want to rely on them if there's contradictory documentation.)
Disallowed: ()#
More?

Thank you, Kent

AFAIK there are no character restrictions in comments, but it is easy to get a trail-and-error answer to this question.
There are lots of 'magic' comment phrases such as (debug,#1), but I don't know of an exhaustive list of them anywhere.
Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Chris, yes, that helps. I thought perhaps there was a grammar file, but I've been reading through the files in linuxcnc-master/src/emc/rs274ngc and looks like I need to stay under 256 characters and avoid a few magic comments phrases, and avoiding commas would eliminate all those.
Thank you, Kent
