Hi everyone,

I am creating this thread to get some advice from experts in this forum to improve my prototype.
The code that has been created allows to execute a sequence of steps that can be stopped in each moment if needed just clicking on the "Stop" button (in case something wrong happen during the sequence). When the machine is stopped it is possible to fix the problem and then continue. But in this case when clicking the "Start" button to run the program, it starts from the beginning (repeating already the steps that have been already performed). Is there a way in order to restart the program from a specific line of the code without starting from the beginning?

Thanks in advance for the support,
Libera

Hi,
depending on the controller yes that can be done.

Gcode is modal, so that if you start in the middle of a program the machine will not know what mode it is in. You in effect need to run the program from the start, but without movement,
so that the controller knows what modes are active at the section of code that you want to start from.

In Mach it is called the 'Run From Here' feature. You need to practice with it or you will crash. There is a procedure to follow.
