    I'm trying to setup the parking feature on my X32 and have run into an error. I changed $42 to "4" for Z axis park and I get an "error 52 - undefined [ $42 = 4 ]" when trying to save to firmware. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Also, can someone explain what $34 does exactly?

    Additional or extended settings

    Most of these, defaults are just fine.

    Only time we ever change $34 is when you use a RC Servo as a Toolhead: see footnote (13) below the table on GitHub - grblHAL/drivers: Driver overview

    Just means CONTROL doesn't know what Error 52 means. Error 52 - grblHAL core: errors.h File Reference - Settings Value Out of Range - so you are setting an incorrect value.

    Should be $42=2 if i read the docs correctly

    I’ll go back to $42-2 and see what happens.

    Do you know if there is a setting that can be changed to have Z axis movement be last instead of first when starting a job? I don’t particularly like my end mills running all the way across the workspace at Z work height.

    When starting the job, your Job tells the machine what to do. Check you CAM setup

    Found it in the Fusion 360 post process, thanks.
    What about when hitting “go to zero” in Openbuilds Control? Can I change the order of operation in which each axis moves?

    Use the Dropdown to go via Z Machine Coordinates if you prefer

    I hope you didn't edit our Post? If you did CONTROL's Z moves won't work right either. If you did, then either your machines setup is wrong, or you aren't homing.

    I have NOT edited anything outside of the provided GRBL settings tab. Currently I use the dropdown and select "gotozero (work coord)". With this selection it moves G0 Z5 first, then G0 X,Y. Is there a way to either change the G0 Z5 to something like G0 Z40 or even better, move the G0 Z5 command to the last movement?

    Sounded like you modified the post.

    Good then, if you home properly the post and CONTROL will work.

    Theres another option on the dropdown, thats the one you want

    Z40 would crash on some machines, so either 5mm above surface (fine for most as it would lift bit up and out of cut) or to G53Zx which is up and away, but short of a crash (ie the right way on machines that are homed. Can't make it default as lots of folks still refuse to Home)
