Hi,
output is to be used if you want to turn a light  or LED on or off to reflect the Jog Inc state.

To change its state using a remote button use a general purpose input say ISIG_INPUT10 and then
in Mach code it so ISIG_INPUT10 changes the JogInc state.

Craig

Do you know of any info or vids showing this or a similar function to do this an change mach code, sounds a little complicated

how do i get a external button to switch incremental Jog Step in mach4, i have pokeys but Jog inc is under outputs not inputs so i dont understand how to get it to trigger a inc step in mach 4 if inc step is under a output an not a input,...

NOT HAVING TROUBLE USING INPUTS... its just all i can seem to find inc step  under is the  out put signals ,...? so how do i hook up a external switch an make incr. step work by a external switch if its pin is under output signals an not input signals or am i thinking of this wrong?

Hi,
sorry, I thought you were using an electric touch probe.

Have you installed line filters on your spindle?
Have you shielded the input and output wires of your spindle?
Have you shielded the limit switch wires?
Have you introduced any filtering on the input signal lines, either programaticaly or an RC low pass filter?

Craig

no.... it doese this with out motor even powerd on so that tells me its not a spindle motor or speed controller problem
no

yes
tried an it made worse an crashed everytime if by filtering you mean through ess on inputs

Hi,
its possible that its bad but more likely you have a noisy setup affecting limits and your probe.

To what have you set the filtering on the different inputs?

Craig

probe..? im not using one that i know of unless your talking a bought something that idk, WHICH IS VERY POSSIBLE.... im using a wobbler if that is what you mean, im not using a touch probe..

 is that what you mean by probe A TOUCH PROBE..?

any fifgures was crashing my ess configurator,... it wouldnt let machine move, it would crash as soon as i tried to open a change to a diffrent setting in noise filters
