G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: 4 th Axis problem
« on: March 21, 2014, 10:53:29 PM »............... changed my ports and pins for the "C" axis to the "A" and changed it in the general config but it wouldn't jog from the screen buttons.
Does this mean I will have to do a screen MOD which I haven't done before. Is there any way to switch it in the .XML file?
Are you using the standard screen for Mach3?
If so the jog buttons on the fly out screen (press tab), operate X Y Z and A.
If this is not the case on yours, then someone must have edited it for the 4+ and 4- to jog C axis rather than A.
It is a trivial matter to change the behaviour of these buttons with a screen editor. I recommend MachScreen.
On the other hand if you meant that the keyboard hot keys are what you are using, then these can be altered with menu "System Hotkeys"
