General Mach Discussion / Manual Z up/down while code running on my gantry torch.
« on: July 30, 2011, 03:47:11 PM »
I have set the configuration to allow THC up/down even if not in THC mode, I have enabled input signals for THC up and down, have enable emulation for both and have assigned hotkeys for both....others here have said in the past that this will allow keyboard jog of my Z axis while a program is running. I just can not make it work. Help please!
I just recently started using the wireless xbox360 to control my gantry torch and it would be great if I were able to raise and lower the torch while cutting using the remote. I am set up using Galil (plugin with 1840 card); I have a handwheel that works through a Galil aux encoder input for the Z on the main panel that works well, but really want to be able to Move Z from the Xbox360 while code running. I am at a dead end after hours and hours. Any input would be appreciated.
