My computer crashed so I bought a new one. everything works great but for some reason it does not respond to f codes. I have to set the speed by using override on the main screen. I has to be something simple but I cant figure it out.
i.e. if the program says f20 it runs wide open. if the code is f3 it runs wide open. I can only control the overall speed on the main screen override.
Thanks

Attach your xml and I will see if I can find the problem.

Does your code use G0's, or G1's?
-
G00. Followed after position ing f codes
-
G00 are rapid moves, and are not affected by F words.
You need to program using G1 for the F words to control the speed.
-
G0 (G00) is a move at rapid speed the F word will not have any effect on it, you need a G1 (G01) if you want a linear feed at the specified feedrate.
