Starting Gcode, Jackpot without probe

I have a Lowrider3 with a Jackpot board, I am not using a probe just yet, I want to be able to home my machine, then move the core to the x, y coordinates.

Then I want to move the z-axis down to the surface and then start the job. Just like the pre-made Crown Gcode file.

The gcode below is from the docs.

G21
G90
G94
G92 X0 Y0
M0 (MSG Attach probe)
G38.2 Z-110 F200 P0.5 (probe down set thickness )
G1 Z10 F900
M0 (MSG Remove probe)
M62 P1 (If used start spindle pin27 )

I use this Gcode for my plotter MPCNC:

(Project )
(Created with Estlcam )
(Machining time about hours)

(Required tools:)

G21
G90
G94
G92 X0 Y0 Z0

It basically says the CNC to treat the point where the endmill currently is as 0/0/0, so you jog it, make sure Z is correct with a piece of paper and hit start. Works well for me.

Ok. Thanks. Do you use any specific “End Gcode”?

This is from the docs.

M63 P1 (stop spindle pin27)
$HZ
M30

I think I never touched the end code in Estlcam. :smiley:
