Author Topic: M3+ Smooth stepper new install and have no feedrate override...  (Read 3271 times)

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.

I had a laptop meltdown a few days ago, I have moved everything over to my other laptop and did a fresh install of mach 3 and the smooth stepper driver and plugin.
everything appears to work except for I dont have feedrate override control.

The FRO control does work when running a program though.

I have gone through everything, reinstalled etc... I cant figure this one out.

I used to be able to jog with hotkeys and just use FRO to scale down my speed from my 75IPM rapids. Now I cant do any moves (outside of running code) that arent at 75IPM. makes setup a real bitch...

I hope someone can help, I am quite frustrated.

Best,
Nate.

You need to use the Slow Jog Rate % on the flyout screen for jogging.

Press the tab key on your keyboard. You could also adapt a screenset to have that DRO on the main page if you found that to be easier.
