Thanks Will,
I’m using CM 513 and my GRBL version is 1.1f.
I hadn’t re-sent the configuration to the machine but I have now and that seems to have helped the situation. There’s just a couple problems. You can see in the video that my Z xis is the “SHAPEOKO 3 Slider” from cnc4newbie.com. The closest setting that matches for the Z-Axis Type field in the CM Settings window is Z-Plus. Once I send those settings, the jogging in any direction works but it’s not reliable. Most the time a single click of a jog button will move the machine by one increment. Many times a single click will result in movement of two increments. And a few times a single click will result in what appears to be a half increment or a stutter increment. It doesn’t seem to make a difference whether I use the onscreen buttons or the keyboard shortcuts. Also, another annoying behavior is, going from CM to GRBL-Panel doesn’t require re-sending the configuration to the machine, but just the mere fact of connecting to the machine with GRBL-Panel and not doing anything, only establishing a connection, requires CM to need to resend the configuration before it’ll work correctly. Very odd.
I still wanna continue down this path to see if I can use CM on a regular basis but at this moment I don’t know. GRBL-Panel just seems so much more intuitive and feature rich to me. I’m planning to get the bit-setter accessory soon and I’m not sure how to make it work in GRBL-Panel. I’m afraid any multi-tool job will force me to use CM to take advantage of the new accessory, so I need to re-train myself.
Thanks for the help.
