I would like to create 2 buttons on the Kmotion CNC Screen.
The first is click a button and the CNC performs a G01 X0Y0 F200 motion to my program's X0Y0.
The second button is the perform a G01 Z0 F200 motion down to the Z0 for the programs Z0.
These would save me having to manually jog the machine to my part origin after a tool change.
My guess is i have to assign a script Action to a button that points to a C program, but I'm not familiar with how to get the C code to act according to G code commands.

Re: Add Button to perform G Code Command
Hi Neil,
You can assign a GCode file to a button by specifying the Execute Prog Action with a file with an .ngc extension.
Remember to terminate the GCode with M30

Re: Add Button to perform G Code Command
How do i assign the G Code file to the button? Which of the subscript actions should i pick to specify the Execute Program action? I'm not having any luck getting this to work.TomKerekes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 12:13 amHi Neil,

I figured it out, i had to choose a Motion Button instead of a regular Button Style
