Pathpilot 2.14 - Z goes opposite was created by racedirector
Just upgraded to PP 2.14, all went well after copying all my files to the new dir.... that is until I fired up the machine.
X & Y respond to my direction keys as normal however now Z goes down with Pg-Up and up with Pg-Down. Nothing has changed in any of the files.
I am trying to figure out why and have both 2.0 and 2.14 files to compare, will report what I find.
Just a warning to anyone else who tries this, it may not work as you think...
Cheers

So I spent time comparing the files in 2.14 with 2.0 to no avail. Thought it was the keyboard so tried another one and no change. Rebooted my machine into LCNC with Gmoccapy and the PgUp & PgDn keys work as expected.
I am going to look for anything outside PP that may have caused this, I am suspecting it has something to do with executing ADMIN TOUCHSCREEN on 2.0 that is no affecting 2.14.
Failing finding the cause I might just go back to standard LCNC with GMoccapy until that new GUI comes out, I really don;t have the time to fully get to the bottom of this if it is not simple.

Is the problem _only_ with the jog keys? Does the Z axis move as-expected with MDI and homing?
Tormach machines are moving-spindle, is your machine moving table?

Yes and yes
Problem is with PgUp and PgDn only.
3 axis gantry router, 2 X, 1 Y, 1 Z.
Everything worked with 2.0, crapped out with 2.14

Sounds like a Pathpilot setting then.
Are you sure it is wrong? PgDn should make the Z numbers smaller. (regardless of machine layout)

Definitely something in PP
PgDn has always lowered the Z towards the table, PgUp has always raised the Z. My Z home is at the top so all downward movement is negative.

That's really strange. Even for a Tormach machine the current behaviour you report is wrong.
You might be able to fix it in keymapping...

(Though this is just an idea, it might be a daft one)

The jogging code hasnt changed recently. If you want to try this, you can switch the direction in code. Check out lines 3748 to 3753 in tormach_mill_ui.py
elif kv == gtk.keysyms.Up:
jog_axis = 1
jog_direction = 1
elif kv == gtk.keysyms.Up:
jog_axis = 1
jog_direction = -1Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.
