I use the keyboard to jog the table. Usually when I am in step mode and finding an edge. I will accidentally hit a couple keys around the arrow keys or page up/down, and the table will take off.
I do not recall if the Home key performs homing, but I do not think that is the key because Z does not move, usually just one axis. The space bar does not stop the machine from whatever it's doing.
Is it possible to disable all of these automated routines via software, or do I need to break keys on my keyboard to stop this from happening again? Is it possibly a bug in this screen set? I originally loaded it when I thought I would use a probe, but I have not figured out how to use a probe effectively since I have very few tool holders and I have to reset then manually anyway (plus this problem wrecked my probe).
Secondary, is there a software only solution that I could replace Mach3 (I just read a post from a member here that said Mach3 is far behind any of it's current competition and has not been supported in about 5 years)? I am using parallel to a C10 BoB and Gecko drives, which in itself has been working fine for me. I did not think Mach had any reasonable competition (maybe LinuxCNC).
Thanks
