I would like to if possible have it restart in the already homed state at the POSITION.txt location, so what should I put in the individual axis sections to accomplish this? And an additional accuracy enhancer would be a 2nd field added to each axis's entry in the POSITION.txt file to tell linuxcnc which side of the backlash setting the motor was up against when that file was saved at shutdown. That would be the final link to be able to continue an interrupted job without the hassle of re-homing the whole machine. For that, a simple + or - after the value should suffice for that. Hint, hint :) That would scratch a very persistent itch for me. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
