CNC wont respond to movement keys on pc

Postby Steve1965 » Wed Nov 08, 2023 8:14 am

Hi looking for some help here.
I have a custom built cnc that has been running perfect for over 2 years. Yesterday for some strange reason i can not move the cnc with the pc controls. It still moves with the wireless pendant but no longer with the pc, as far as i know i haven't changed anything in uccnc as I don't mess about with the settings. they have been set the same since i had the machine. Anyone has an idea what could be wrong?

Check the jog % speed on the flyout screen.

the picture you uploaded is too small to see.
on the flyout jog screen.

it must be set to continuous for keyboard to be effective.
