What once was a free country
At the end of the program it sends X and Y home via
G28 G91 X0. Y0.;

This is a pain because then the work is usually not in front of the door. I would like it to just send Y home and omit X

My post is as follows. I'm not sure quite sure what to change and figured I'd ask before I go playing around with it. Thanks in advance

Five lines up from the bottom:

writeRetract(X,Y); to writeRetract(X);

should get you what you want as long as it's the right one. Might need to pop that post into some application that has a search function and search for all "writeRetract" calls. I had a quick look and only saw that one for X,Y but I might've missed something.

Thank you a bunch! I suspected it had something to do with that line but I don't have a clue what I'm doing when it comes to coding. After running a quick ctrl+f it would appear you are correct about that being the only line that needs changed. I will report back a little later today when I post a program.

Thanks again
