Hi folks, quick background… using UCCNC couple of years on and off on cnc router here in Ireland. On V1.12113 now
Got a UCR201 pendant last year but just my getting around to setting it up now. Have it connected and speaking to PC but can’t for the life of me get it to jog any of the axis.
Buttons such as Estop, spindle start stop all work and match the actions on screen.
I’m sure I’m missing something obvious….is there something in UCCNC that I have to turn on to allow the part of the 201 functionality to work?
Maybe I have the settings for sensitivity turned down but I can’t find much info to help guide me in that front.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Karl

Maybe a silly question but have you pressed the mpg mode button to make to active to move the axis otherwise it won't?

Cheers Andrew, I did see that I’ll go through it again with a fine tooth comb.

Hey Mark, no such thing, I make dumb mistakes all the time
On the mpg mode, yeah I did and I can see the mpg mode changing on the screen to match what the pendant says but axis still not moving.
I’m sure it’s a setting or combination of settings or some function enabling that needs turning on.
I’ll keep trying, it’s something dumb that I’m missing.

Can you move the axis with the arrow keys on a keyboard?

Hi Micke, yes, arrow keys all work and jog in the correct directions. The machine is functioning and making parts with UCCNC fine, I just can’t get the new pendant to jog the axis. It’s a total head scratcher .
