Hi, I have just set up a lathe and, for some reason, the up and down arrow keys won't jog the X axis in AXIS - everything else seems to work OK. Where would I look for the problem? I can't see anything in the documentation which even indicates a file to look in for this... Thanks Ian

Hi everybody, is it possible to connect an external input device to control the feed override factor during runtime? If so, what kind of signal could be evaluated? Would it be possible to uses the quadruple encoder of a hand pulsar as an input device? See you Florian -

The major issue I think would be that EMC has programming/macro ability in its version of G-Code. For simple g-code it would be moderately simple IF EMC read the entire program and interpreted it prior to execution, but it only makes a cursory pass looking for syntax issues mainly and not doing a c
