How to change the keys in Jog Mode

[ata]

Hi,
By me are the keys in Jog Mode not correct. Left/Right jogs axis is:Z and Up/Down jogs axis is:X...etc.
Anyone know how to change the keys to:
Left/Right jogs axis is:X,
Up/Down jogs axis is:Y...etc.

Thanks.

ata,
It sounds like your are either not using a standard "usa" type keyboard, or you have setup your axis in a different configuration that normal.

Anyhow, If you will go to about page 43 in the Turbocnc.doc file, there is a section to "map" the keys to a different configuration than you have. This involves making a new section in your ini file with the appropriate commands as noted in this section.

Good luck.

Bubba,
I use standard usa keyboard. The axis is in a different configuration if a new from internet downloaded profile for SX3 is loaded (Menu:Configure|Load new Configuration...).

ata,
Under the setup menu verify that Axis 1 is X, Axis 2 is Y, and Axis 3 is Z. If your setup is not per the above (recommended in documentation) one will have a situation that you have described.

One planning to use Turbocnc should read the documentation before attempting to run their system. Otherwise, one will have some problems.

NO TYPE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE CHOICE. PER THE MANUAL THE CHOICES ARE BELOW:

Machine Type: Allows be specification of the general type of CNC machine being controlled. This setting affects how TurboCNC interprets RS-274 D Code as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------


· Radius Lathe: The X axis (cross feed) is used as specified when processing a move. This default plane is set to G18 at startup.

· Diameter lathe: The X axis (cross feed) is halved internally before processing a move. Earlier versions of TurboCNC had a cryptic way of setting this via an AxisPreScale parameter in the ini file. This default plane is set to G18 at startup.

· Mill / Drill: This default plane is set to G17 at startup.

· Custom: Has been defined for customers wishing to incorporate special setup procedures for their systems.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Machine type setting will definately make a difference in the operation of the Jog functions, as I have experienced the same problem.

For a regular CNC machine make the setting:
Machine Type = Mill / Drill
