FAQs / cant find "config"logic"

« on: May 31, 2011, 08:14:20 AM »

Hello all
I am working through the "using mach3turn" literature.

Under the heading "A configuration strategy" ( on page 5-1)
it suggests that we reach the config-logic dialog box to configure
the logic

On the screen that I have there is no subheading called "logic"
in the dialog box called config?

Please tell me if i am missing something or if I maybe have
outdated version??

please help

regards fred evans

sorry- please excuse a real dodo

Found the hot keys

am I doing this correctly because it still made no difference

select manual
make sure reset is not blinking
make sure that jog is on
select config
select hot keys

Now i select an axis on the dro on the right - say i select X axis

now the jog should surely have a forward and a backward direction
how do i select this on the hotkeys menu?

I have bought a new keyboard so i know that iot is not a keyboard error

regards fred

Hello all - I am a newbie and have just connected 3 stepper motors to the driver prior to putting the steppers
on to a desktop lathe.

I an working thru the manual called using mack3turn and on page 3-6 it explains how to
jog in manual mode
i select jog on and the led lights
On selection of the up/down buttons or the left/right button on the keyboard i expect to see the
the DRO's changing value -- but nothing is happening

All suggestions will be gratefully appreciated

Best regards
fred evans
