I am very interested in running G sender on my 5 pro 2x4 machine. I have found carbide motion to be very frustrating now that I have used it for the last two years. I especially do not like how it goes all the way back to the top right corner after every job. Is there a way to over ride this. if so how? also If i did want to go to G sender do i still need to make code changes? if i do what would i need to do? Any help is much appreciated.

The movement back to the back right corner is handled by how Carbide Motion interprets the command:
M02
If that command is replaced w/ G-code which effects the desired movement, then the machine should do as directed by the G-code.
If you have a Carbide Create Pro license, then this change is easily effected by editing a post-processor:
https://carbide3d.com/hub/faq/create-pro-custom-post-processor/
Using G-sender (or any other communication/control program) will require:
- having Carbide Create Pro to write out G-code (or using Carbide Motion to extract G-code)
- configuring the communication/control program to not send comments (the current version of Grbl on the SO5 Pro has difficulty with these as previously discussed)
- configuring the program so that it does what is wanted on seeing an M02 command (or editing the post-processor for the desired behaviour as noted above)
I am currently using aspire for my drawing software and cam software would that do the same thing as carbide create pro?
Yes, for Aspire, it should work to just edit the post-processor, or find one which has the desired behaviour.

and check w/ Vectric tech support.
