MDI Screen
« on: October 07, 2007, 07:51:39 PM »
Sometimes the MDI screen works for inputs & sometimes it doesnt. How do you activate it?    Also I'm showing +90.0000 but I only have 30" axis. How do I set this so it will show actual inches traveled?

What inputs? Can you give more detail? If it is the spindle, is it the dwell that makes it seem like it's not working?

You have to give it a G command. G0 for rapid or G1 for a feed. Feed moves also need an f value.

Try this,
G0 X6
G1 X0 F15

Oh yeah, look on the settings page to change from inches to mm. Can also be done with g code, and config, deafault units.

Lock DRO's locks them to your setup units.

Heres the problem. Just went to the machine,,,,, when I put in X1 - Y1 - Z1... I thought it would move 1", but it only moves 1/8". Have a suggestion?
