Guys, I have an egg on my face. I did no work right when I was just staring out with 4th axis. I would specify speed and it would no work, it would go a full speed. This is no longer he case. It works great right now. Possibly it is so, because I am using more recent software, since I switched back

Hello EMC users, I was wondering if I could use HAL for jog plus and jog minus for any axis. This is like using the + and - buttons for the selected axis in the manual page. The idea is to use I/O through the parallel port for jog plus and jog minus. Thanks Farzin --
