Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] mach3 question

Hi Chuck,

Are the keys the wrong way round? The right key should move the table
left. This seems wrong but it is correct. The jog keys should control
the cutter's position relative to the work. Imagine you are stood on the
table. Pressing the right key moves the table left so as you are moving
with the table the cutter moves to your right.

One issue we are having though is that when running the mill using Mach3 and the computer keyboard, the key directions seem to be reversed. Where did we mess up in setup? Is that in the configuration of pins setup?? This is all new to us and way cool to actually see something move, but then we realized XY and ?Z? were all moving opposite the direction of the arrow keys - took a little wind out of our sails. thanks, Chuck
