I must tap a keyboard arrow key, before the jogwheel can move an axis, any axis. (at least on a lathe)
But like you said, I need to go and double check to see if its that axis's arrow key, or any axis arrow key that enables it.. I'll try and do that yet today, but I have a bigger problem. TLM's configuration is all fouled up. Discovered when I chucked up that pulley to carve the taper for the taperlock hub. I hadn't run it for anything since the axis/joint merge, and my files look all confused, and still are after I've spent about 3 hours trying to sort that out. And I just did, having fixed my lady some late lunch, I went out, ran it, enabled it, touched the Z button, ran it up to 5 thou per click, but no motion when I released the button, which leaves it live for 30 seconds, hit the in button on the keyboard, it ran X in for .5000" and the z dial worked until it timed out 8 or 9 seconds later. So its any motion, and its possible the homing when active would qualify to raise the crossbar & let it move. I am inclined to call it a bug, but what do I know? Maybe someone thought it was a good safety feature. Thanks Jon. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
