Title: Arrow Keys Failed to Jog- No problem with Keyboard keys in Other Applications
Post by: khalid on June 04, 2010, 10:02:50 AM

I am having a strange problem today.. My Keyboard Arrow Keys failed to Jog the Motors...even the 'Page Up' and Page Down' keys didn't moved my Z-axis motor...I have done following more test:

a) I checked the System Hotkeys Setting in Mach3 and they were defined correctly for all Axes.
b) I open a Notepad and wrote some paragraph and Scrolled each Alphabets with Keyboard Arrow keys and they worked perfectly.
c) I have made a quick test to see if all axis are working is to issue some G0 commands on the MDI page of Mach3.  I typed G00 X2 Y4 Z6 and entered and all motors moved to its locations.

From a decade i am using the same Keyboard and the Arrow keys working perfectly in other applications but why it failed today?..Any idea or suggestions?
