Have not found machine out of position yet, but it is better to be safe than sorry. As machine is not industrial, but homemade, i would rather recheck position each time.

Hello. Sorry, been bit busy this week. As we are doing three different parts on the same machine bed, i would like to add ref all home to g-code, just to be sure no steps been skipped, and then offset to be added by G92. As machining should be quite tolerant and no money yet for closed loop steppers.

Yes, i know that G28 does that. But i want to do "Ref-all-home" in the Gcode.

Hello. I was looking on Google how G28.1 works, tried on my side, it does not work. Unknown G code used, it says. Basically i am trying now as MDI, but would like to put that inside gcode. Thank you.

Good morning. Yesterday was tough day. Sorted out buttons, but while i was doing that, had a lots of different problems. Mach4 itself was crashing a lot of times. Today, turned machine on, and it works first time. So my guess is, Mach4 is using some of the laptops resources, and when insufficient does a crash. Will see how it goes today, as we planning couple of dry runs. Still, thank you for button solution.

So i made up some toggle buttons with visual display, witch one is pressed. Each button loads a gcode at on stage, closes gcode at off stage. Is there a way to turn off other buttons while one is at on stage?
