Double shaft motors would help. :-} When a (software) limit has been triggered, you are supposed see a checkbox on screen (using axis) that will let you jog off the limit. IIRC It has to be rechecked after the machine is re-enabled each time. One time deal, box and all disappears at the end of that one jog unless the triggering condition still exists. Are you not getting that checkbox? I'm not using an MPG, but I see no reason why it should not work like the keyb...., ah, yes I do, the MPG may be outputting single step moves, different from the keyboards keydown/keyup status. And a single step is quite likely an insufficient move to get off the limit, particularly if its a hardware switch. OTOH, I have only a home switch, and limits are set from that in the .ini file. Life is simpler that way (I think). > Of course, when the machine is properly set up, this should never > happen. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
