Hello, guys! I still would like to find out, how can I make my machine safer and at least disable jogging in joint mode, but I did not receive any answer. I would really appreciate, if anyone could share some insights on how to achieve that.
See below forwarded initial message for more details :) with best regards, Viesturs ---------- Forwarded message ---------- My machine has a gantry setup and there have been several situation, when I accidentaly start jogging it before I switch to world mode and last week I noticed that EMC sometimes swithces from world mode to joint mode, when I go from "manual control" to "MDI" tabs on the left side of the screen. So I wanted to ask: 1) is there a way to disable jogging, while in joint mode? what I actually would like to achieve is - start EMC, home all axis and automagically switch to world mode and do not allow switching back to joint mode. Is something like this possible? I think that situations, when machine is in a position, where separate joints have to be jogged, are special cases and I find totally acceptable to change some settings in ini/hal or any other files before doing it and then set it back. 2) what information should I try to get, if this unwanted world-to-joint mode switch will happen, when I will just switch from "manual control" to "MDI" and back? when this thing happened, I clicked several times to go from one tab to another and back and so on, but then it behaved as it should - remained in world mode. I noticed it, because I started to jog the machine and it started cracking as only one motor on the gantry was turning. It seems to me that it might be very easy to destroy the machine, but I do not know, how to reproduce this error.
