Hi Everyone, first post here on the forum.I'm very new to Linuxcnc, and am building a 4 axis machine. I have Linuxcnc 2.9.3 installed and literally just a few days ago started playing around with jogging in increments within Qtdragon_hd. (love the interface)Sadly the only increments that actually work are 0.1mm or smaller. Everything else produces random results.After some reading it was suggested that I update the qtdragon_hd handler.py which seemed logical, and after downloading from the github a new .py file (95.5kb) I eventually figured out how to replace the original.Unfortunately now I cant launch the program and just get an error - hopefully attached is the report. If I revert to the original handler.py the program launches but I still have the unreliable increments.Have I missed a link somehow with respect to the new handler looking for a reference to my HAL and ini files?Would love to get some input for a solution.Many thanks

I checked 2.9.7 and 2.9.3. I see no jogging with screen buttons issue.
I'm assuming you mean the screen buttons.
It could be a key repeat issue.

I would suggest updating your whole system to 2.9.7 before I'd suggest updating the handlerfile, but we should see if it's a system problem first.

Thanks for the reply.

To be perfectly honest I wasn't using the on screen buttons, just the arrow keys on my keyboard which I assumed would do the same thing once keyboard shortcuts were enabled 

Having tried the on screen buttons they actually work fine in jogging increments. So the issue appears to be with my keyboard?

I tried updating to 2.9.7 but I am getting all sorts of errors downloading from the repository. Perhaps I should start another thread in a different section for that.
