Press the Tab key and make sure your slow Jog rates is NOT set to 0%

The tab key is for Mach 3, not 2, tab does nothing in mach 2.

Ah sorry, never even noticed MACH2 in the title, not used to seeing it so my brain (what little there is) tends to blank it. Cant remember where or if the slow jog rate is in Mach2 but I will install it and see if I can remember.

Thanks

THAT WORKS!! WT$%&^&

I noticed that if I hold the arrow key down for a few seconds, which I had not done the motor is moving V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y.  What did I do and how do I fix it?

Thank you.

hmmm ... Sounds to me like you have the slow fog rate set very slow...


Set the slow jograte to 100 and see if that helps

Thanks
