General Mach Discussion / Jogging & feedrate troubles
« on: July 26, 2011, 12:04:07 PM »
    I've got my motors running, but I'm having problems with jogging & speeds. Yesterday the arrow keys on the keyboard jogged my axes fine, today they don't have any effect, I can use the buttons on the Mach3 screen, just not the arrow keys on the keyboard. Also yesterday I changed my jog mode to 0.1 step, to check that my steps per inch were correct & everything worked fine, but today I can't change the jog mode, in fact it is moving 0.1" every time I press the screen jog button, but the step LED is not lit for Cont Step or MPG.
    Also, I'm having feedrate trouble. In MDI mode I write the line G20G91G1X-10.0F50.0, but while the machine moves in the proper direction for the proper distance, it only moves at 6.01" per minute. The FeedRate displays 20.0 but the Units/Min displays 6.01.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for troubleshooting these issues?

General Mach Discussion / Re: output pin assignments

    I don't need spindle, flood or mist, so that option will work for me. So do I set spindle CW to output #1, CCW to output #4, Flood coolant to output #2 & Mist cool to output #3?

General Mach Discussion / output pin assignments
« on: July 25, 2011, 01:58:11 PM »
    I'm setting up my 1st machine & have questions about outputs. I Have 3 SSRs that operate solenoids, I've got the control circuits routed thru pins 1,14, & 16. I want to be able to activate the SSRs with key assignments, preferably F9,F10 & F11 respectively.
    I have set output #1 to port 1 pin 1, output #2 to port 1 pin 14 & output #3 to port 1 pin 16, in the output signals page. How do I make the key assignments?
