Fadal jog key skips

[dougputt]

Hi

Having a issue with Jog key. Not sure if it's a board problem or dirty contacts on keypad, hopefully someone has had some previous experience?

When doing certain functions, like setting tool or fixture offsets, in the middle of picking off the various axis touch offs or more correctly when machine prompts to 'hit jog key' which I press, the machine briefly shows the jog screen then goes to the 'enter next command' or jogs by the tool touch off screen and waits to get next tool.....

It is the keyboard i have a VMC15Xt that does that exact thing. I just learned to deal with it dont feel like changing the keyboard. The way i have gotten around it is to poke the Jog key real quick and it will stay in jog and not want to grab the next tool. If you need a keyboard $200 go to ELE-1784P - Calmotion ask for Glenn and tell them what its doing to make sure its the keyboard only

fyi its not the keyboard itself thats broken. its a software problem. i didn't used to have this issue before I went from sys 96 to sys 101 cpu software.

so u need a new 1090 - or like you say, just live with it.

I have to also mention that I have had axis' run away when spinning the jog wheel fast. I spun the sh*t outta my jog wheel last night to test it out and this new 1090 didn't run away.

seems like a nice fix.
