Title: Why doesn't OEMCode 307 jog?
Post by: johnv on May 17, 2010, 03:23:17 PM
Hi All,
I want to add some switches to my control panel to jog X, Y, & Z axis similar to the lower buttons in the (tab) MPG Mode screen. Using OEMCode 307 for X+, when I push my X+ switch, the X stepper runs continuously and doesn't stop when I release the button. The Jog Mode in in Cont. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?.

What you want to do is assign the port and pin that you have the button connected to as Jog X++ which you will find down near the bottom of the list on Ports and Pins, Inputs.

Thanks again Hood! You've saved me 6 OEM Hotkeys. Thanks

LOL
If using the HotKey and OEM I think you need to press once to start jogging then press again to stop. Not very handy and I think that is why Art did it deeper in Mach and put the inputs direct rather than going through oems.
