The problem with manual feeding

[wolmix123]

Versions

• Candle version: 2.1

When manually feeding any of the axes, the motor moves in micro jerks, but everything works fine in the automatic feed. Just yesterday, everything was working fine, but today this problem has appeared.

It says this in the console "$J=G21G91X-0.3333Y0Z0F2000 < ok" (this is written with manual feeding (on the arrows) at a constant speed of 2000 millimeters per minute.

This link takes you directly to the use of $J

But enlarge the window by scrolling with the mouse over the area I have marked in red and there you should have a box to enter the amount you want the axis to move. That way you don't need the $J anymore

But I sometimes need to use manual feeding, but because of this problem, I can't do it. For clarity, I took another version with the same issue.

I need a continuous feed, I know that I can move it by 0.01, 0.1, 1, 5 mm, and so on, but I need it to move continuously while I'm pressing and stop when I stop pressing. When I move it by 1, 5, 10, and so on, it moves smoothly.
