Hi James,

If you purchased your license from Artsoft then your license will be resent to the email address you used to purchase your license - check that your resend license is not in your email spam folder.

Hi Tony,

The Wiki was taken down about a year ago at the same time the forum went awry and as far as I am aware it has never been reinstated.

Finished Plugins for Download / Re: USB JoyPad and game device plugin - New Version 2.0

The keyboard jog keys have ASCII values of;

left 37, up 38, right 39, down 40, pageup 33, pagedown 34   if you add 1024 to these values that makes them the same as shift+key.

Can you re-configure your joypad with the revised values ?

Hi,

Is there a way to move rapidly (like when you press the shift key) by holding the SL and SR keys and just jog if only one of the latter safety keys is pressed? Same thing for the Z axis, obviously.

Thanks..

From the TAB key flyout increase the Slow Jog Rate to 100% (or a figure that you are happy with).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Constant velocity button

Why not just include it in your Gcode ?  The code G64 turns Constant Velocity ON and the code G61 turns it OFF.

You could add a screen button (using the screen editor) which could toggle the above codes or add two buttons, one for each code.

That's just it. It's not backing off at all. When it homes it stays against the switch

Then you have a problem with your Mach3 installation which could be...
Software, in which case re-install Mach.
Hardware, which could be electrical noise causing a false signal or a poor quality switch.

Try increasing the Debounce setting in Config / General Config and see if that makes a difference.
