General Mach Discussion / need hellp for the jog- step option please.

« on: September 05, 2014, 10:29:05 AM »

Hi All
a- I choose jogging mode
b-Step option at 0.1 per unit

Then when I press my arrow or jog  button briefly, it jogs 10 times(0.1mm x 10)  or a whole unit before it stops. (A whole unit which is 1mm in my case.)

My question is this:
Why cant I just jog 0.1 every time I push the button. ??..Is it normal for mach to go throug the whole unit every time?
please shed some light on this for me.

General Mach Discussion / does not recognize my Photo interrupt homeswitch on rotary a axis

« on: November 27, 2009, 04:38:06 PM »

Hi guys Please I  need help,I am stumped  on this one?
My home swith on X ,Y  and z works great, they are in series and on input pin 13.

I put my photo interrupt switch on my rotary axis on pin 11 .
I drilled a small slot in my gear to activate a photosensor and pull pin 11 low

When I physically block the switch with a piece of paper the green light comes on in
 Mach3's diagnostics screen (port1 pins current state on top), So I know mach3 recognize the input and it works.
I dont get a light in the input current state lights

I have set my home on pin 11 for  A -rotary axis

Here is the problem When I HOME all my axiz's to reset to zero  they all work except for A .It does not see it.

Did I miss something?
tnx
TJ.
