Xaxis JOG not working

MillMage Software Questions OS Specific

While testing for Zaxis control using the keyboard, I discovered an issue with one of my Laptops.

CNC = Genmitsu 3018 Pro

i5 Acer Aspire 5, HD (old machine)
Win10 upgraded to Win11 Home

Lightburn Move window arrow keys work in both incremental and jog modes for X, Y, & Z.

i3 Lenovo, SSD (new machine)
OEM Win11 Home

>> Lightburn Move window arrow keys work in incremental mode for X, Y, & Z axis.
<< Jog mode controls Y and Z, but X throws an Alarm 15 in one direction (up arrow) and no error but a status message (Idle|MPos…) for the other direction (dn arrow).

I bought this Lenovo just for working with the CNC and MillMage.

Is there anything I can do with the Lenovo to get the Xaxis Jog working?

This sounds like you may have an incorrectly set-up machine - can you provide us with a copy of your bundle so we can take a look?

If you error out in one direction but crash in the other, your X axis corner is probably the opposite of what you have defined in Device Settings.

Yeah, I figured that out! If I increment X a few times, I can Jog back but still not increment forward. The convincer came when I could not dry run a file (Alarm 2) I had previously made a part with. I did copy a Bundle from one machine to the wonky one, which did not fix it, but I am still testing. I need to test the machine that did Jog okay.

UPDATE: Neither PC will run the part without error. Switching to Mikey Beginner Mode to figure this out. Thanks!!!
