    greetings
    i have been using the OB control software for more than 6 months and all was working fine till now... the stepper motors moves very slow when i try to jog the X Y and Z axis.. i have not changed anything till the last cut which was a few hours back..
    not sure how to go about and getting this rectified.. have a unfinished work in progress so did not want change any setting before i get to hear some advice here from the group..
    thanks

    Drag the Jog speed slider back to 100%

    thanks peter for the quick reply... the slider was at 100% already...
    switched off the machine and also the system for few minutes and restarted hoping it will work and it did. things are fine and back what it was earlier.. so not sure why this issue keeps coming up... has similar issue with the Y stepper (which did not turn) but on restarting the OB black box it works again...
    would it be possible to find why this happens ? or am i doing something wrong somewhere ?..

    Try docs.openbuilds.com > BlackBox > Current Adjustment page > fault indicators section about halfway down and have a read through it. Then keep an eye out for the fault indicator next time a motor doesn't turn at all.

    Jog speeds however can only be the sliders Otherwise if it was something like you set Max Rate too low it would always be slow, for everything. Even after restarts (settings persist, Override sliders are not persistent) Your initial post says it was just Jogging.
