I currently have a problem with my mach 3.  I must have got the system out of config when I was trying to program three new stepper motors for a future project. I went back in to ports/pins and set it by basic set up as in the tutorial. I've tried about everything I can think of and can't get movement with the keyboard, I'm running a Stepperworld  FET 3 board. I'm thinking the pin config must be right because If I input a g-code and hit start the 3 axis run thru the program fine. It's just the issue I have no manual controls for jogging or setting z. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did you set the Hotkeys up in the Sytem Hotkeys Setup?

RICH

yes..  as follows x++ = 39 x-- =37  y++=38 Y--40  z++=33  z-- = 34

Have you got the Jog On/Off button active?

 :)Thanks, that was the issue. Now I feel like an idiot, but I'll get over it. Don't have any idea how that got switched off and I never even imagined something so simple as that being the issue. Countless hrs trying to figure out what the problem was. The good thing that came from this is that I discovered this forum and the efforts that some will go to assist others. I will be posting some of my G codes to share with the group as I found there is a section for that.  Thanks Again Hood and Rich for your responses.

It happens to most people at some time so dont worry about it
