Title: Z axis direction
Post by: golash on September 04, 2007, 09:28:08 AM

Hi all

I was having trouble with the z homing into the table. I reversed the motor and
that was sucessful. Now when I use the MPG Mode my z- and z+ are reversed.
I forgot where to change that setting. X- is down toward the table....is that correct.
Thanks Barry

If you mean Z- down towards the table then yes thats correct. To reverse the  travel you can change the active low setting for the direction pin. This seemingly can cause problems with some drives so you could also use the reverse function on the homing and limits page.
