Normal jogging speeds no longer set

[s-stoner]

I’m a new cnc user and am using the most recent gsender version on a long mill and slb. Not sure when it happened but after upgrading gsender and enabling the homing function I noticed that the normal default jog speeds are extremely slow, less than the even the precise settings. I can go into the settings and insert a value but it disappeared after I sent it home once.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could try renaming some configuration files/folders. It’s possible that one of them got corrupted somehow during the update. You will lose other settings as well so first I’d export settings with the hope that importing them later doesn’t result in the same problem.

The location of the configuration folder depends on the operating system used. On Windows there should be a gSender folder in ‘C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData’. It is a hidden folder so you’ll have to show hidden folders or enter the location in file explorer. It’s been awhile since I used Windows but %AppData% or %APPDATA% might take you there. Web search can help with that part.

I use Linux and the folder is ‘/home/USER_NAME/.config/gSender’. The specific file for those settings on my machine is ‘gsender-0.5.6.json’ if you want to take look in there. I searched that file for ‘jog’ and found this section.

        "jog": {
          "xyStep": 5,
          "zStep": 2,
          "aStep": 5,
          "feedrate": 3000,
          "keypad": false,
          "rapid": {
            "xyStep": 20,
            "zStep": 10,
            "aStep": 20,
            "xaStep": 20,
            "feedrate": 5000
          },
          "normal": {
            "xyStep": 5,
            "zStep": 2,
            "aStep": 5,
            "xaStep": 5,
            "feedrate": 3000
          },
          "precise": {
            "xyStep": 0.5,
            "zStep": 0.1,
            "aStep": 0.5,
            "xaStep": 0.5,
            "feedrate": 1000
          },
          "step": 12,
          "distances": [],
          "threshold": 250
        },

Anyway gSender will create the folder or files it needs if you rename them to something else. You could also move them to trash and restore them later if needed.

There is also a ‘.sender_rc’ file in your home directory if the gSender folder doesn’t do the trick.
