Hello all,
I have a version 2.54 on one machine. Toshiba laptop. It runs version 1.83 just fine. I could step the motors using the keyboard, I could step the motors using the screen pendant.
When I opened version 2.54 this evening. I could not run the motor tuning program.  I played around a little still not luck, So I copied an older known working profile to the Mach 3 directory and restarted Mach3. Now I can get the motor tuning program to come up but the motors wont turn. I haven't exhausted all my options yet. But was looking more for some quick insight.
Also what is the latest and greatest stable version running?

Thanks guys
Neil

The latest Lockdown is 2.63 and the one I am using is the Development Ver 3.041

Please attach your xml  and maybe something wrong can be found.

Thank you for the quick reply,
I'll hook my laptop up to the internet later and upload the xml file.

Thanks
Neil

Here is my profile file finally, I haven't had the chance to look at in detail yet. So perhaps you can let me know what may be wrong.
Thank you
Neil

Just had a quick look and the first thing I see is you have the Jog Control button off, enable that and see if it helps, I will go have another look at your xml and post if I see anything else.

Also you have the Hotkeys set up for jogging to NonStandard keys, did you mean to do this?

I changed things to using the arrow keys.
Is the Jog control button the one with the  "Ctrl-Alt-J" option?

I haven't tried it yet.
But I did reinstall, and notice some ir-rational behavior coming from the laptop before the reinstall.
So this could have ben what causing my problem. I let you know.

Thank you for your quick replies.

Peace
Neil

Yes thats the Jog Control, it should have a green light surrounding it, if its off you wont be able to Jog with keyboard or even a MPG.
 The keys are not set up as the normal arrow keys on a standard keyboard in your xml but they may well be set up for the arrow keys on a Laptop, as long as you see the DROs moving when you press the keys you know they are set up right for your keyboard.

Thanks Hood,
Originally I had the keys set up for the A-D/W-X keys this was from traditional gaming set up that I was use to.
