General Mach Discussion / Re: MACH3 Jog Step Issue
« on: June 17, 2019, 02:58:33 PM »
I found out a couple of things.
The jog step issue is failing as the default feed rate was 6mm/min. The set feed rate command was missing from the initialisation string in general config. It remains a question as to why a slow feed rate doesn't work, but at least I have a practical workaround.
The odd behavior when X and/or Y axis are inhibited is a bug in mach3 for sure. It happens when executing a G2/ G3 draw arc incremental command. It would seem the inhibited axis causes mach3's calculation to go off the rails. The easy solution is just to unplug the cable(s) to the motor.
