When the Y+ jog button is selected spurious behavior is observed. In this capture I select the 'jog Y+' button three times and get inconsistent results. Profile attached.

Hello, I'm getting inconsistent responses when I press the Jog Y+ and Jog Y Off within the jogging tab. My screen set is based on wx4.set, I modified the m6 macro to have soft limits on by default based on Mach's YouTube channel, I also ran the MPEG4 pendant install from Arturo Duncan at CNC4PC.

I want to look at the script that is being executed when I press these buttons. This video shows that when selecting the current screen set in the Screen Tree Manager I can see the three dots (can edit) in the Events tab for the main scripts. However, when I select the Events tab for the left click action and left up action for Jog Y+ and Jog Y Off, the Events tab only has a drop down option (can't edit). The three dots to edit these scripts are missing. Is there a recommended way to view/edit these scripts?   

To be clear, I am posting in hope of receiving help.   

The Y+ button has an 'Action' attached not a 'Script'.  The action is programmed action in Mach4 where a script is a editable Lua 'program'.  You can write your own script for the button and remove the action assignement.  Not recommended.  If your having odd occurrences  it is most likely mechanical/electrical.

To my knowledge this is not resolved yet. If you can please link me to a post I haven't been able to find that solves this I would greatly appreciate it.

When using G91 G00 X.001 there is no issue. Also, I have seen others complain about having to cycle through the jog step sizes once completely (repeatedly press the 'Incremental Jog Step' button) and only then will the correct jog step size work. I am having the same problem. Also, the 'Button Jog Mode' button does not give an indication of it's current state. Is there a way to know what state the jog feature is in?

Can you please help me with this? It seems Mach4 ships with the SW not fully configured so that users can customize it to their needs. I followed Mach's youtube video to customize the M6 macro. Is there a similar resource to follow to get the jog feature to work?

I've got the same problem on all 3 axis.  There is often a backlash command sent from Mach4 to my ESS at the end of a jog move. See the attached log file. I have added some CAPITALISED notes on the right hand side of the logged text.
If anyone knows how to programmatically turn Backlash compensation on and off then a work around might be possible.
