Is there a way to set up WMPG macro to 10% rapids and 100% feedoverride?

I want to hit a button to go to 10% speed for risky moves, and a button to jump back to 100% feeds

the feed dial on WMPG is fine and all, but I have to take my eyes of the prize to dial it back in to 100% feeds watching the control panel. no bueno

thanks

You can edit your PLC program to set the desired values in "KbOverride_W" in response to whatever keypresses you want to use.

For example, in the Feedrate Override section: You will want to make sure you do not have CNC macro files set up for whichever keys you choose to use. You might want to comment out the lines that set SV_SYS_MACRO in response to those keys.

There is only one override, and it will apply either to both rapids and feedrate moves; or to feedrate moves only. There is no way to have an override value that slows down rapids without slowing down feedrate moves.
