macro : long-job stop and continue next day.

Postby manufv » Sun Feb 23, 2020 8:18 pm

hi cnc gurus,
when I run long jobs, sometime I it the end-of-the-day.
then I need to shutdown computers, cnc, ... etc.
then, I
- wait to be on a move with 'z safe'
- stop the job,
- write down the current line in the gcode 'current_line'
- execute 'goto zero'
- write down the 'machine coords' XYZABC as 'logical zero'
shutdown all system
(time for familly)
next day, to restart, I do :
- start uccnc, perform homing
- execute G0 XYZABC 'logical zero'
- set the 'zero all'
- edit the gcode
- add the M3 at the 'current_line' (if needed)
- load the job
- jump to 'current_line'
- resume the job.
-----------------------

do you have any suggestions to optimize the sequence ?
some magic macro can help ?

thanks for any comment.
