Jogging question

New number here and new to hobby CNC as well. My question involves jogging while using G Sender.

I have a generic CNC machine that I built myself using open loop stepper motors, and ball screws. When I try to jog any axis it produces a ramp up to full speed, then full speed for the distance desired, then a ramp down(like its coasting to a stop). I want the jog motion to start up quicker and stop quicker.

Is there something in the configuration that controls this?

@Dudeman555 Welcome to the group.

What controller are you using of your CNC?
Are you connected with grbl or grbl Hal?
Is the issue the same with any other code sender, such as UGS or iosender?

Hello, i’m using GRBL on Arduino.

@Dudeman555 Tks, but is the issue the same with another code sender???

Yes, I tried UGS and it’s the same.

UPDATE. I found a setting in GRBL that deals directly with this issue. You simply need to make an adjustment for the following three lines.

$120 for X axis, $121 for Y axis, and $122 for Z axis.

Thank you for responding.
