Jog buttons reversed in 5.4.3?

Post by jpbarad7 » Fri Jul 03, 2026 7:32 pm

Tom,

Custom screen with Style:2 jog controls (fast/slow arrow pairs). Upgraded 5.4.0 → 5.4.3, config carried over identical. On X/Y the "Jog Fast" control now moves slower than the "Jog" control; Z/C ordering is correct but both slower than 5.4.0. m_JogSlowPercent=25, jog speeds 0.3/0.3/0.08/…/0.4. What changed in Style:2 jog-control / Slow% handling?

Thanks.

Jim

Hi Jim,

Yes you are correct. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Bug regarding Jog Button’s Speed introduced in Version 5.4.2. Speed is sent to KFLOP/Kogna as a decimal counts/sec. Last character of speed was clipped off. Depending on speed, resolution, and percent speed if the product was a whole number without decimal point or decimals the dropped character would result in a speed reduction of 10X. e.g. 1234 would send 123. However, for speeds with decimals the speed would be only slightly wrong. E.g. 1234.1234 would send 1234.123. Prior to 5.4.2 numbers were formatted always with 6 decimals so the existing error was not significant. 5.4.2 formats with only the necessary decimals or exponential notation if necessary.

Here is a patch for Version 5.4.3. Remove .txt suffix and copy to the \KMotion\Release folder.
KMotionCNC.exe

Please test and let us know if it resolves the problem if you have time.
