MeatPack.NET

A .NET encoder and decoder for MeatPack, Scott Mudge's G-code packing scheme (BSD-3-Clause; see LICENSE.meatpack), used by Marlin hosts over serial and by Prusa's binary G-code container for its G-code blocks.

The scheme packs the fifteen most common G-code characters two to a byte through a 4-bit table; 0b1111 in a nibble announces a full-width character, 0xFF announces two, and a doubled 0xFF introduces a command byte toggling packing or the no-spaces table variant (in which E takes the space's slot).

The packing is deliberately lossy — writers strip spaces from G-command lines and pad odd-length lines with a newline — so the decoder also owes the reconstruction the reference implementations perform: a space re-inserted before each parameter letter on a G line, the padding after a newline dropped, and consecutive newlines collapsed. The output is equivalent G-code, not the packer's original bytes. This behaviour is pinned against real PrusaSlicer output in the libbgcode.NET repository this package is developed in.

There is no malformed MeatPack — unknown commands are ignored, every other byte is packed data or passthrough — so decoding never throws, and the output is bounded by a small constant multiple of the input.

Usage

using MeatPack.NET;

byte[] gcodeText = MeatPackDecoder.Unpack(packedBytes);

// And the other direction - the reference packer's line treatment exactly:
// comments kept or dropped, inline comments cut, G-lines space-stripped with
// serial checksums recomputed, the no-spaces table variant on by default.
byte[] packed = MeatPackEncoder.Pack("G1 X10 Y20\nM104 S210\n", keepComments: true);
