Title: Mach3 demo jog continious and jog step directions different
Post by: redd103 on June 05, 2023, 06:45:23 PM

I have just installed and set up Mach3 demo  mill on a XP platform.  Set up axis's and axis's directions correctly per jog continuous but when I change to single step they jog the wrong direction  ie the X+ button moves the axis X- direction when in single step.  When "all homing" the directions are fine.  Are there separate parameters for the step directions?

Thanks

Trevor in support helped a lot.   In the pin menu motor settings  there is a column heading "Step Dir A"  which I now take as "Step Direction Active".  I changed each axis to green check mark and that solved the problem.

Thanks again
