Whats typically the cause when the jog control is used clicking any direction it doesnt move the router, xyz coordinates dont change, and visualizer doesnt change?
Happens when vac and router are off. I have a feeling it’s a computer or usb issue.
Hi Greg,
Depending on your interface, there can be many issues causing problems with jogging.
One of the issues might be that things get stacked. Take for example a simple keyboard. In the old days, they got wired to a dedicated plug. No issues but dust and crums accumulation preventing you from being able to press a button after years and years of use.
These days however, keyboards are wireless, connecting with an usb dongle. There is a chain of things that can go wrong. From windows putting usb to sleep because power savings settings, to bad connection between the usb port and the -mostly- cheap ass chinese dongle via interference from other blue tooth or heavy machinery upto low battery in the device. The chain is long and failiures become more common.
For that reason I use an old school wired keyboard at my machine. Short chain, easy fail anaylizing.
This is, if you use a keybkard as your interface. You didn’t specify that part though.
Thanks. I am using an HP laptop. No wirelesss keyboard. I am using a wireless mouse but using keyboard too. I also changed the power setting to not put anything to sleep.
Ha! didn’t think of that. I take it won’t jog with keystrokes nor mouseclicks.
Is your Jog control section blue..
Or grayed out?
Blue. And using the laptop mouse pad to click doesnt do anything.
