Title: Jogging off the stops
Post by: jimthefish on December 30, 2010, 03:20:02 AM

Hi, my Mach3 crashed last week, I reprogrammed in all the config and got it all back to normal. However when I hit the stops I can't get the axis to jog off the stop. I'm sure there was a tick box to allow you to jog off the stop but cant remember how I did it. Can anyone JOG my memory

Fine Jim :)
BTW you may want to look at setting soft limits also as it will prevent you from hitting the limits in the majority of cases.

OK will do. Just for reference the machine has run perfect since you helped out. I make Model Steam trains down in a small workshop down the garden. It got so cold over the past couple of weeks I think it froze the machine, had to put some heat into the machine castings via a blow heater. When I came to switching on the computer the Mach3 setting had dissapeared, frozen out?. Still all OK now, back to my chu chues. Jim
