Greeting All,
I have a Smithy 622 CNC mill that is run by Linux. I haven't run the machine in a while and went out to my shop to do a project. Everything boots up and I can home the machine out, but I cannot jog or run a program. When I use the jog buttons you can see the radio buttons on the screen change to which ever axis I try to jog. I've even tried using the pressing +/- button with the mouse and still nothing. Looking for help on where to start looking to troubleshoot this.

Thanks,
Doug

Are the jog-speed or speed-override sliders all the way at zero?

No, that was the first thing I checked. My spindle won't come on either. I'm going to call Smithy tomorrow to see if they can help.

OK, that was the problem last time this happened to somebody, so it was worth a try.

It does sound like a feed-override problem of some sort.

If you go to the "Machine" menu and look at "Show HAL configuration" then it might be worth looking at "pins" in the "motion" and "halui" section for anything odd like feed-hold. being set.

Also try MDI
M50 P0
M51 P0
M52 P0

Ok, so I checked the feed hold pin in the show HAL configuration. There is no feed hold button on this machine, everything is through the keyboard, but here is what was there. "motion feed hold <== SOFF".

When I was probing around I wiggled the flash drive for the machine and the computer froze. The flash drive was not all the way in, is there a possibility something is corrupt?

My machine is running ver 4.2.3.

I have a call into Smithy, so hopefully they call back soon.

I also tried the m50, m51 and m52... no luck

That sounds suspicious. Can you attach your HAL file?
