Good day to all, As a user of UGS and now getting into the Gsender which I like better I am having some issues with creating macros as I could in UGS. Here is an example of one without the coordinates in it so please understand it is an example. G21; G90; $H; G0 X-258.73 Y-153.20 Z-9.08; G10 P0 L20 X0 Y0 Z0 I cannot get this to work in Gsender. If anyone could help me get this to work it would be great. I have a lot of repeatable starting points and would like to be able to use the macro function in Gsender. Thanks ---

Is each command on its own line? eg G21 G90 $H G0 X-258.73 Y… Z… If not, at each semi-colon put them on a separate line. Russ ---

Ok here is the other issue. I have to zero after homing then run the macro for it to go to the point I want it to. If you don’t the macro will over shoot the target location. Is there a fix for that? ---

The macro is working if it is line by line so thank you for that ---

Try in the macro after $H to set xy(z) zero then rest of commands G10 L20 P2 X0… Russ ---

Yea I tried that but it would not work at all. Just started writing macros so I am not that good at it yet ---

Thank you and I am sure you are right. There are people here with way more knowledge then me ---

Edit: This will work after you’ve run the homing cycle. G21 G90 G54 (sets workspace P1) G92 X0Y0Z0 (sets current/home position) G0 X15 Y15 Z2 (Rapid go to) Tapping Go XY0 will return to the G92 coordinates. If adding $H at start doesn’t work then suggest running homing cycle then above macro. Try & see. Russ OLD Note; Will look at it when I’ve finished current carve. I don’t have limit switches but within the macro you should be able to set zero, move & reset zero. Did you put G10 L20…X0 / Y0 on individual lines? That was how I got mine to work. ---
