I'm using master that I down loaded about 10 days ago with Gmoccapy
that came with it. I was controlling my mill just using the jog buttons
and chose not to send commands using MDI mode. This machining work
required the jog button to be pushed for minutes at a time and then
released when the desired axis travel was completed.
On a number of occasions I had to push the machines emergency stop
button to stop the jog since releasing the jog button did absolutely
nothing. Most of my movements were slow less that 3 inches per minute in
the X axis with a travel range of about 11 inches so this took a
considerable amount of time. Most of the time jog stopped as expected
but not all the time and came close to breaking to installed cutting tool.
I'm thinking that this may be related to status not seeing that jog
button was released or that status for that particular button froze in
some way, perhaps even by some sort of time out. I failed to see if the
button in Gmoccapy changed color from yellow to white or not when the
button was released. I think the code used for manual jogging and its
related status info may need a review to see if there is something being
overlooked that could be time related.
I do not have any time to look into this further now but this occurred
perhaps 8 times in the last several days using this particular manual
jogging machining method.
If using a wireless keyboard, check the batteries with a voltmeter. Looooong
keydowns may cause a fadeout that does not register as a keyup event.
So when it comes time to send the keyup, the batteries are too low. Any
battery that's below 1.4 volts probably need to see if you can hit the
trash can with it from where ever you are. The one time that hit me,
taught me to use the mdi.
