Title: GREX and Wierdness
Post by: mhdale on April 23, 2007, 06:01:03 PM

Hello all, my system has been acting kinda strange and I am NOT sure where or what the problem is. I have a Grex and It is hooked up to this machine that I am building, this machine is pretty bizarre and basically NOT what Mach was built for but Hey Its motion control right!?  Anyways, I have a Blank screen setup because this control is pretty wierd and I have OEM Buttons to Job My Axis (Specifically A) and they work just fine, but my hotkeys for the a axis dont work, and when I send GCODES like G00 A0.0 The motor will run to the point of startup and then stop, but then it will not respond to any further g codes.... it just ignores them..... any suggestions/pointers?

Mike

Ok, I have discovered that it has something to do with the A Axis, because the Z Axis works just fine as far as following G code.... I have turned off the angular motion on the a axis is there something else I need to do to get the A Axis to behave just like x y or z?
