M4 disconnects while running gcode

Is there a way to command the sled to an absolute x,y? A go to from the command console? It would make it easy to get home in the same spot each time. I suppose I could define the job with home in the starting position (center) as well, but that would require more math.

Should be able to create macros that you can run from the FluidNC tab. I don’t know the exact process, but I’ve seen mention of it on the forum elsewhere. (Maslow started moving in 1 direction during cut - #49 by boxomatic)

I had experimented with G Code that just had a single travel command in it for this, as well. It worked fine, but the extra files taking up space in the list is somewhat annoying. Might be worth it to do for specific multi-part or batch jobs, though, so you can 1 click that if you have to re-hang. I wouldn’t necessarily trust it outright, even though I’ve had good results using the 0,0 home without manually homing and cutting jobs across power cycles/rehangs, and would probably want to still check the alignment before I tell it to update the saved home location.
