General Mach Discussion / Re: keyboard jogging from touchscreen

DWeis,

Another issue that may have an impact on this is that apparently some touch screens have a timer for how long you can press one button for.

My waterjet only lets me jog down for about 3 seconds before it stops.

I then have to release it and press again.

There may be software controls to adjust this.

Another thumbs up for the MB02 breakout board from Homman Designs in Australia.

It was an easy decision as I'm in the same country.

I had a couple of knuckle head enquiries for Peter about the board.

His response to email enquiries was same day or next morning.

Hood,

From memory (I usually hit the E stop to try and save the part) the tool path display shows what the tool is doing ie: it shows it going of course
not following the program.

At the risk of stepping on aconstruction's post.

I have a very similar problem.

Mach 3 while running a profile pass on a part has done two passes at different depths.

Then on the third pass which is exactly the same other than depth decides to change direction and cut into the part.

This always seems to happen on a radius.
