Starturn 5 led's

[Garvock]

Hi
I have a Starturn 5 lathe with comms problem. When I run Fanucsld the software hangs. The LCB3 board powers up OK and the led's marked LED1,LED2,RLED3 light up, is this normal indication?

Have solved the problem. The "fanucsld.go" file was set up for a keypad, edited file to use keyboard. Thought I would post this for info.

Thanks for the info - can you tell us what the LED status is now it is working ?

Cheers

LED status is the same as original post, it was only the .GO file that needed editing. I do not have the Desktop Tutor Keypad and am slowly working out the key mapping for QWERTY, has anyone worked this out already?

The dos offline programming manual has some reference to QWERTY keyboard functions:
Think this is the manual here:
viewtopic.php?t=1636

When editing a CNC File using the qwerty keyboard,
the following keys are used:
{keyboard arrows} keys.
Moves the cursor up, down, left and right.
{Delete} key.
Deletes the one character highlighted by the cursor.
{Back arrow} key.
Deletes one character to the left of the cursor.
{Insert} key.
Toggles between the two settings 'insert' and
'overwrite'.
{Home} key.
Moves the cursor to the start of the current line.
{End} key.
Moves the cursor to the end of the current line.
{Page up} key.
Moves up a page.
{Page down} key.
Moves down a page.
{Ctrl-Page up} keys.
Moves to first program line.
{Ctrl-Page down} keys.
Moves to last program line.
{Ctrl-Y} keys.
Deletes all of the current line.
{Ctrl-N} keys.
Inserts a new blank line.
{Ctrl-R} keys.
Restores an edited line (only possible if you do not
move off the line).
These keys relate to marking in Anchor Mode:
{F7} key.
Sets start of marked area.
{F8} key.
Sets end of marked area.
These keys relate to marking in Drag Mode:
{F7} key.
Starts making (use {keyboard arrows} to drag out the
marked area).
{F8} key.
Stops marking. If pressed again cancels marked area.
These keys relate to program line group editing:
{Alt-D} keys.
Deletes marked area.
{Alt-M} keys.
Moves marked area to current cursor position.
{Alt-C} keys.
Copies marked area to current cursor position.

OK, Thanks for that, have downloaded manual, will have a read. Meanwhile I have worked out most keypresses but I cannot find the spindle start key? Any ideas, perhaps a combination of keys.

Thanks again
