Title: Y moving in opposite direction
Post by: anthony.zulli on September 17, 2022, 03:39:33 AM

Hi Group, my Y is moving towards me rather than away - I must have touched something I think?  Any help to get it back to normal please !

 go to config/ports and under motor outputs  either check or uncheck the dir box for the y axis.

is this when you are jogging the machine? if so go to config/hotkeys and set Y  + and - keys.

Thankyou. Its when it is reading the code running a program....the code says Y15 , but it moves from Y -10 to more negative Y, rather than moving to positive.....

Then you have to set the y dir either active high or active low.
