Craig, You are the man! I just ran the code on my laptop and it appears to function like it should! so cool! Im going to go do the same thing on the machine now. I will post a video of it working. My end goal is to have this bit of code only happen when the ref all button is clicked. Report back shortly! Thank you Craig. Nick

Hi Craig, I have created the registers but I'm not clear on where i put the code? Also is it ok for me to put the code in the reference all sequence so it automatically happens when i reference the machine? Thanks - Nick

Also, is it correct is assuming that my x and y back of distances go after thex &y in the code...... X10 and Y-3?

 mc.mcCntlGcodeExecute(inst,"g53 g0 z"..Zcenter.."\n g53 g0 x"..Xcenter.."y"..Ycenter);

Craig this is good news! Sorry if this is a dumb question, the typos and then the code you posted, does it contain the typos that need to be corrected as well? Also is the code now going in the screen load? I never tried the first code being startled by what daz said... so now that the new code sound better i will run it tomorrow morning, just wanting to get the sequence of events down again! Thanks again!  - Nick

Craig, Im not sure i follow you... Does the code move the axis but the dro does not move with it? If this is the case then is the code ok to use? I'm determined to make my machine function properly so count me in for the long haul! lol. But i could see how people could get overwhelmed by all the info.. or lack of. Mach4 could actually be something if it only came with standard machine functions built in, no coding. Thanks Craig for answering all my silly questions. - Nick

The thought of that pains me! =)  ... So, Am i correct in thinking after the function code is in the  macros folder... then I will need something to link the button to the function? possibly  something like GoCenter() in the left up on a custom button?

Craig. I created a screen set with a custom name, it no longer says wx4 when i open and run mach. I read about about the importance of saving your profile right! I hope i did it the right way. I will copy the function code to the macros profiles and go from there!

I just went back a page and read the post i missed about registers! I will create the 3 registers like you show tomorrow and we can proceed with testing code. Thanks Craig.

WOW! thanks Craig! I super appreciate it. I will put the code in the macro folder.. in the mach4/hobby folder? I have yet to mess with or research anything about macros as of yet. Once the code is in the macro folder, is the next step tying the code to a button to test it out? This is getting exciting now! - Nick
