Title: Mach3 and Keyboard
Post by: Peter J on February 08, 2013, 11:07:47 AM

I had shut my homebrew CNCrouter down for about a yearand recently fired it up again. Using the same PC, mouse, keyboard, programs etc. However I cn no longer use my up and down keys to move the around the table. I am sure I am missing something, but can find no instructions on the computer or in Mach3 that references the UP/Down arrows (buttons) or configurations.
Any ideas will help and be appreciated.
Thanks PeterJ

Check to make sure the jog on/off control is set to "on" the screen you have showing.

Don't forget, if the jog on/off control is not on a screen, the keyboard will not work for that.

I will check on both of your ideas. It is something obvious that I am overlooking  and your ideas give me a starting point. Thnks to both of you.
