    Problem with pendant and keyboard control

    Hi. I purchased a second hand CNC Mill and XYCom PC running Mach3 recently. Mill works fine but I am having issues with control. The XYZ4, X1, X10, X100 and STOP buttons work on the pendant (Handy Pulser) but the jogging dial doesn't.

    Initially I could control the jogging using the arrow and Pg keys. However, in trying to sort out the pendant I messed around with the enable tick on the list of Brains and now I can't even use the keyboard controls! (like an idiot, I failed to make a note of the Brain settings before changing them).

    Also, I can't change the Cont, Step, MPG Jog mode on the pendant and the XYZ4 axis has also stopped working! What a plonker!

    Anyone out there able to help me?

    Update. Just found that I had toggled the JOG on/off button to the off position - what a wally! So, back to my original problem of getting the pendant jogging dial to work - any ideas folks?
