public class GCodeParser extends Thread

A gcode parser which accepts either a BufferedReader of lines or may simply execute a series of arbitrary gcodes.

IMPORTANT: this parser will completely ignore M110 (goto gcode line) commands, treating them as another generic command, which could potentially cause big problems.

public Command parseLine(String line)

Parses a single line of gcode using the current state of the parser. It will manipulate the state of the parser; beware that this is absolutely not a pure function.

• Parameters: line — a single line of gcode
• Returns: a Command object representing the command, or null if the line was empty, a comment, or invalid. Some invalid lines may be treated as valid but irrelevant gcode.

public float getFloatFromGCode(String gcode)

Gets the float from a string like "X89.5" or "G92"

• Parameters: gcode — the string
• Returns: the float

public float[] getVecFromGCode(String[] codes, int beginIndex)

Convenience method which assumes that no NaNs are to be added.

• See also: GCodeParser#getVecFromGCode(String[], int, boolean)

public float[] getVecFromGCode(String[] codes, int beginIndex, boolean NaNsForMissing)

Gets a x-y-z-e vector from a gcode formatted command (split by spaces), ignoring non-xyze values. Uses the parser's settings for units; not a pure function.

• Parameters:
• codes — a gcode command's arguments, split by spaces
• beginIndex — the index to begin looking from
• NaNsForMissing — If true, put a NaN into the array if there is no declaration of the value
• Returns: a length 4 float[], each value representing x, y, z,and e respectively. Any values not in the GCode are assumed to be zero. Inches will be converted to mm based on GCodeParser.useImperial
