Title: Table only goes in one direction
Post by: ffulmer on December 22, 2014, 04:04:32 PM

My machine acts stupid from time to time and the X table will only move in one direction. When I tell it to go to the right it goes to the right, when I tell it to move to the left it goes to the right! Then sometimes it will work fine and I load a program but after several passes it suddenly just moves to the right plowing through whatever is there. I swapped out my driver boards, but I sometimes think it is because I live in Florida and the computer does not like the humidity. Any ideas or comments anyone????

One possibility instantly comes to mind.
Make absolutely sure that you have good connections at every point of the DIRECTION conductor for the affected axis throughout your system. Continuity must be assured.
