General Mach Discussion / button to jog x and y

« on: October 19, 2011, 09:38:15 AM »

I want to make a button on my pendant that jogs both the x and y simultaneously.
Can I do this in vb script?
Maybe something like;
DoOEMButton(307)
DoOEMButton(309)

Can anyone tell me why the output in this section of a macro is deactivating before the motor moves up?

'Lift Spindle to safe height
   DoOEMButton(104)
   While IsMoving()
   Sleep(10)
   Wend
'MDF Frame Up
   DeActivateSignal(Output10)
   SetUserLED(1010,0)
   Sleep(2000)

Thanks, Bill

I have a machine that is jerking at move speeds

900 in/min x and y axis
2000 steps/in
kernel speed 65000
step pulse and direction pulse both set at 3
using tempest

It acts like the computer is not keeping up but I need help figuring it out.
