Hey guys,
I'm going through setting up the preset codes for X,Y,Z calibration and I was wondering what "G0" and "F3500" means. I'm guessing the the meaning to these callouts are embedded in the Arduino code.

I guess while I'm at it, any handy preset codes you guys like to use?

G0 is the g-code command for an un-coordinated move to specific coordinates, and fxxxx is telling the machine what speed in mm/min to travel to those coordinates.

G1 is the g-code command for a coordinated move. This means that the arms will move in a fashion that keeps the effector close to where it should be, while g0 just heads straight for the new coordinates without giving a crap about how the arms move.
