I would like to be able to set up the machine so at the end of a job it will go to the park position. How do we do this? I’m pretty damn sure this is really simple but today I don’t want to use my brain.

@mborgardt That would be a function of your CAM software and most likely would need to be done by editing your post-processor. If you state which CAM software you use, I’m sure someone will be able to help. With vCarve, it’s fairly simple to edit the post-processor. I’d have to figure out the syntax of the command to use but I’m sure someone else here would know what to use.

I don’t think there’s a native way of doing this in gSender, other than by creating a macro and running it manually. Would be nice if you could configure gSender to run a macro at the end of a job.

@mborgardt I stand corrected. I did a quick search of the forum and @_Michael showed how to do it here: Macros within NC code - gSender / :red_question_mark: Question - Sienci Community Forum

You’d just type in the same commands that you would put in the macro.

@mborgardt If you click the park button, you will see the commands to use in the Console. Best to clear the console first.

Thanks I will give it a try to break things….

@mborgardt It should be just three lines

My park is X80, Y-280, Z0. I also use metric (G21)

And my gcode to go to park is

G53 G21 G0 Z-1
G53 G21 G0 X80 Y-280
G53 G21 G0 Z0

G53 uses the machine coordinates (this will require a properly homed machine)
G21 for mm; G20 for in
G0 for rapid move
XYZ are self explanatory

Those three lines will move the spindle up to Z-1, then move to the park coordinates (X80,Y-280,Z0)
