MDI screen
« on: February 09, 2015, 05:56:34 AM »
Hello Everyone,

           I have my cnc router setup and I can jog the axis everything is working. I do not have the home/limit switches configured yet. So I go the the MDI screen if I enter G0 x23 lets say I would think I should get some movement. however I do not. Is there something I have to setup? Thanks

regards Charlie

Assuming you can jog then you should get movement from MDI, only thing I can think of is you have the option in General Config set to stop programmed moves on Input 1.

Hi Hood,

            Can you tell me where exactly that setting is? Is in at Program safety?

Yes, lower left General Config page. It should not be chosen unless of course you are wishing to use it.

 Hi Hood,

    Its not checked. Does it matter that I am suing the demo version?

No, demo works fine with only a few limitations such as Run From Here doesnt work, 500 line limit in Mill (50 in lathe?) Threading in Lathe and THC in plasma I think.

If you attach your xml I will take a look.
One thing, when you command the move via MDI, do the DROs count as if the axis is moving?

Hi Hood,

       no the Dros do not move. When I type in G0 X45 lets say, nothing happens and the history window pops up with nothing in it. I will post my xml later today. Thanks.

Are you pressing Enter on the keyboard after typing the G0X45?
