2015-10-29 Thread Stuart Stevenson
Gentlemen, re: the cinci at MPM When they push the arrow key to move an axis the machine keeps moving. A couple weeks ago the X axis was the only one doing this but now other axes demonstrate this feature. They disconnect the keyboard, use the mouse to move the axes with using the +/- buttons

Ok, new information new ram installed new ppmc boards no change in machine motion on the Y axis - the other axes run fine (they might have been fine before and it may have been my misunderstanding). once y motion has been started the axis moves until - A. estop B. motion change by pressing the

My understanding of keyboard jogs is that a "key pressed" event for the up-arrow stops any active Y axis jog, and then starts a +Y jog. A "key released" event for the up-arrow stops any active Y axis jog. Likewise for the down-arrow. It sounds like LinuxCNC isn't seeing the "key released"
