Thanks, Brian.  That seemes the fix the problem, but why?  Can't the jog feature be used in small increments?

General Mach Discussion / Craxy X Axis
« on: July 12, 2006, 10:10:26 PM »
Just as I started to get comfortable with Mach,  my  X axis went goofy.  When i jog it with the keypad or the jog menu, the DRO does not keep pace with the entered jog increment.  Example- with the jog increment set to .0010, the first tap of X+ Jog is .0011, next.0022, then .0028, then.0039, .0050.  With the increment of .0020 selected, the pattern is .0022, .0039, .0061, .0078, .0100.  Same with X-.  It seems to catch up in multiples of 5.  My computer is not hooked up to my mill yet.  Also, I can't get the individual "axes zero" buttons to work, but the "Ref All Home" button zeros everything.  Help me, help me, please!

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 won't jog
« on: July 09, 2006, 08:01:03 PM »
My name is Mark, and I am new to CNC.  I have been playing with Mach3 for a few days now, and I'm having some trouble with it.  The Mach3 program recognizes the licence and the software that came with my machine(TL 501 BDN).  I have not yet hooked up the machine to the computer.  My first (of many) problem is that even after watching the "install video" several times, I still cannot jog the axes.  When I press the arrow keys, the DRO's do not move.  The numlock is off.  Also, in diagnostics, I have six red LED's lit up(underneath the button for 'Settings Alt6') and I do not understand what they refer to.  Can anyone help get me started?
