    I have a Lead 1010 running Open Builds Control. I would like to setup a g28 command to set a xy zero position. Not sure where on the Control Panel I need to go to set it up.
    Thank You

    Either issue the command in the serial console or click on the small button left of the GOTOZERO button.

    do make sure your defined positions have Z as high as possible without triggering the limit switch.
    you do not want a rapid goto to dive Z down into your stuff on the table.

    Where would I go to change the coordinates for G28? I am new to this and am needing help.
    Thank You

    If you look closely at the screenshot @sharmstr posted above, you will see that one of the options on the drop down list was to set a new predefined position (G28. 1).

    Thank You. I saw the Command. My question is where do I go to Edit the command.

    You don't (from the UI)
    You jog to where you want Predefined Position G28 to be. Click Set Predefined position to set it. Use Goto G28 later on
