For some reason today I cannot make any incremental steps, yes, the Mach MPG is showing the Yellow button for step. (the flyout one when you hit Tab)
I had configured a few of the number keyboard buttons for movement (#4 for X++, #6 for X-- , etc)
It worked fine for a few days, now nothing, only Continuous Jog works.
No external MPG hooked up until we have in our budget enough to purchase the Ajax MPG pendant.
With no external MPG, should all my MPG related Brains be turned off right now?
thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Yes, with no external mpg connected, you should not install the mpg Brains. If they have been installed, please disable them under Operator->Brain Control.
The same is true if you don't have a jog pendant installed.
One last thing, you need to be extremely careful when writing Brains or changing button configurations. It's very easy to add something that conflicts with a previous Brain or configuration setting.
I'd strongly suggest starting with a clean install to return to a known working configuration.
