SmoothStepper USB / Re: Mach3 with Smoothstepper, table that don't stop jogging
« on: November 08, 2011, 08:38:07 AM »
Hello,
Just a small update :
I suspected the laptop keyboard at first but I was able to reproduce the problem by clicking on the arrow buttons on the jog control virtual pendant in Mach3 (when you hit tab). When the problem happen everything in mach3 seems to work fine as the DROs are updated correctly with the table movement. And when the weird behavior happen the table continue to move even if I click on other arrow on the virtual jog buttons in mach3. Just clicking on the Reset button in mach3 and the table stop.
One other thing I want to try is to define soft limits and try to reproduce the glitch while inside the soft limits. I could see if the machine will stop at the stop limits boundary even if the jog command stopped working.
