Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up a hot key in UCCNC so that pressing the letter “G” runs a macro to execute a G-code that makes a square. Here’s what I’ve done so far

Created a text file named M21000 with the G-code
Placed the file in UCCNC > Profiles > Macros_Default. However when I load the software, I get a pop to select the motion controller device. If I delete the text, the software loads normally.

My Questions are:
Where should I place the M21000 text file so that UCCNC recognizes it and runs the macro when I press “G”?
How can I set the function to 21000 associated with the “G” hotkey, as it doesn’t show 21000 in the function code window?
Where is the DRO & Screen editor located in UCCNC?

read about the codelist function in macro programmer manual. (how to run a list of code)

create a correct macro using this and save as m2100.

dro and screen editor is in settings. edit screen button.

I'm trying something similar, but this answer is missing the OP's question.
To bind a hotkey to a macro it appears you create the new macro with the name nnnnn.txt, where n < 21000, then type that number as the Function number in the key binding.
