    Default G code automatic homing in the middle of a program

    I am loosing a few steps in very long g-code programs. Is the a way to automatically return home (referencing the home switches) and then continue on in the program?

    I'm not sure what you are asking, could you explain what you mean by "losing a few steps?" Do you want to remove a section of code and run the program without it, or do you want to start from the middle of the program? Or is it something else?

    A better option is to fix your machine so it doesn't lose steps, but if you really want to home it in the middle of the g-code, try using G28.
