Command G40 unsupported and ignored

[bar]

I’ve created pull request #453 to add G40 to the list of supported commands

@blurfl what is the advantage of issuing a warning for G40?

@blurfl

it (G40) is often part of a larger misunderstanding of configuring MakerCam, and a benign one as it doesn’t damage plywood or the machine. If it gets someone alerted to questioning their .nc file and asking the Community for help or advice, it is serving useful purpose.

@blurfl

The firmware is the source of the log entry. The cosole is echoing the log entry. The G40 is treated as a noop and the log entry is sent and echoed.

I agree that suppressing warnings is always a bad thing, but I think G40 can be fully implemented with the “do nothing” code so it can now be declared as supported with no warning needed. I agree that it could help someone to realize that there was something else wrong with a post processor option, but since the G40 warning is showing up when using MakerCAM correctly (which most folks are using) it’s a bit of a red herring
