Hi all, I just updated a machine from EMC 2.3.0 (Ubuntu 8.04) to the current version 2.4.6 (Ubuntu 10.04). Most of it ported over pretty seamlessly. The one problem I have not figured out is why axis jogging is reversed from the prior configuration. Everything else regarding motion still seems to be working the same way. From the front of the table, X counts up from left to right, Y counts up from front to back, and Z counts up when moving up, just as in the prior system.
But if I hit the Jog X right button (towards max limit), it jogs left (towards min limit) and is similarly reversed for all other jog buttons. However, just to be clear, any programs run continue to run properly, none are mirrored around one or more of the axes. I have my own user interface which uses the socket interface emcrsh (http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/2.5/html/man/man1/emcrsh.1.html) and the command "set jog 0 1.0" (jog X in the positive direction). So entering the command over a telnet session demonstrates similarly reversed motion. If the velocity is positive, the axis jogs towards the min limit and vice-versa. I checked the change log from 2.4.6 back to 2.3.0 and did not see anything the stuck out as related. It is easy enough to just reverse the velocity parameter, but better if it works as intended. I am using a servo configuration based on the Hostmot 5i20 drivers, not that I expect that should have anything to do with it.
