When using G91 G00 X.001 there is no issue. Also, I have seen others complain about having to cycle through the jog step sizes once completely (repeatedly press the 'Incremental Jog Step' button) and only then will the correct jog step size work. I am having the same problem. Also, the 'Button Jog Mode' button does not give an indication of it's current state. Is there a way to know what state the jog feature is in?

Can you please help me with this? It seems Mach4 ships with the SW not fully configured so that users can customize it to their needs. I followed Mach's youtube video to customize the M6 macro. Is there a similar resource to follow to get the jog feature to work?

This issue is identical to the one posted by wgpeters:

To my knowledge this is not resolved yet. If you can please link me to a post I haven't been able to find that solves this I would greatly appreciate it.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4/Uc100 problem with jogging

I am having the same issue:

"System does not jog correctly when backlash setting is non-zero in Mach.  This affects all axis.

Backlash adjustment is applied after each jog even though direction has not changed.  Sometimes, the stepper goes the wrong direction, and often the jog amount is wrong.  For instance a .01 jog may go .01, or may go something less.  This happens whether the jog was done from the pc jog button, or the pendant, so I believe the pendant is not the problem.

Smaller jog increments result in more erratic behavior, especially when the jog amount is less than the backlash setting (which in my case is set to .003"."

I have submitted a post that links to a video showing my experience:

Any help about why a setting of any non-zero backlash amount causes spurious behavior when jogging would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm getting inconsistent responses when I press the Jog Y+ and Jog Y Off within the jogging tab. My screen set is based on wx4.set, I modified the m6 macro to have soft limits on by default based on Mach's YouTube channel, I also ran the MPEG4 pendant install from Arturo Duncan at CNC4PC.

I want to look at the script that is being executed when I press these buttons. This video shows that when selecting the current screen set in the Screen Tree Manager I can see the three dots (can edit) in the Events tab for the main scripts. However, when I select the Events tab for the left click action and left up action for Jog Y+ and Jog Y Off, the Events tab only has a drop down option (can't edit). The three dots to edit these scripts are missing. Is there a recommended way to view/edit these scripts?   

To be clear, I am posting in hope of receiving help.

When the Y+ jog button is selected spurious behavior is observed. In this capture I select the 'jog Y+' button three times and get inconsistent results. Profile attached.
