Title: The image gets flipped (mirror)
Post by: SirFinland on January 02, 2014, 06:17:07 AM
Hi,

I'm new at this...
I have a problem with a picture that should be pointed to the left but when the Mach3 has done it's job it is pointing to the right?

Why? Can you tell me exactly how I can make it work right?

Thanks!

Finland

Finland,
It sounds as though your X axis (left/right) may be operating reversed.  Try reversing the Dir LowActive setting in Ports and Pins.
Regards,
John Champlain

It's now on a number 1 should it be -1?

Thanx..

This is the area John was referring to.

Okay!

So Dir LowActive X and Y should be red and then it should work fine?
And i Have a CNC3040 so i need only the X Z Y so it will work fine?

Thanx alot man!

NO - that is not what John suggested - just change the existing state for your X axis.
