    jogging in different modes

    Does anyone know why my axis moves in different directions when in different modes. An example would be when using cnc lite in the jog single axis mode with a joystick, when I push the joystick forward the Z axis goes up but when in incremental mode it goes down. This makes it awfully hard to do tool touch offs. It must be in my cbk file but where?
    Thanks

    We'd have to see your .cbk to know for sure. Most likely, there will be logic in your inputio.fil that looks at your mode selector switch and calls a macro in macro.fil. In that macro, I'd look for logic that checks for which mode. I'll further guess that the variable flag found in G90 and G91 would be used here. In a lot of .cbks its \774.

    You may also want to look at the input#s for the jog buttons in inputio.fil.

    Hope this helps.

    I believe you said the joystick (USB, Correct?). If this is a USB device then look at the JOYSTICK.FIL file or restore CamSofts default joy stick file if you have modified yours then the original will have the correct code to use.
