Title: blocked manual movement
Post by: Saumur on April 22, 2009, 10:33:04 AM

Guys,

in my machine the axis are moving automatically but if I try moving them manually using the arrows they are not working. Is there a function in mach3 settings that may block it?

Thanks

Well first of all, you cant jog the machine while it is running a gcode file, if thats what you are doing, then it wont work.

If you are not jogging while running a gcode two things might be happening,
1. you have clicked inside the MDI line or any DRO, which would block the arrow keys from jogging until you get out of them.
2. there is a button called Jog off, under the Tool information part in the main screen. you can toggle it with Ctrl-Alt-J

Hope that helps
Fernando

It was the option 2, thanks a lot for your help.

One more thing, you cant jog in a page without any jog button.
