Hello again, i have a slight ( actually big ) problem with the jog controls after updating to latest ver.of mach. When trying to jog in any axis either with the touch screen or using the keyboard once the key has been depressed the axis will not stop moving even after the key is released. the carraige goes sailing along until it hits the limit switches. Most disconcerting. I have experienced a similar problem with earlier versions of mach depending upon which USB port on the motherboard i plugged the smoothstepper into. It still occasionally does funny things in jog mode using the older ver. For instance, sometimes in step mode the stepper drive turns incredibly slowly. It will still stop at the requested increment say one millimetre but it takes forever to get there. Not sure if its a smoothstepper problem or mach problem. Any tweaks or advise greatly appreciated as its starting to get to a no confidence situation especially when jogging in Z with a tool in the collet. Using a desktop pc by the way not a laptop. Thinking of adding an MPG for jogging but will this cure it or will i still have the same problems?.
Many thanks
