Hi Hood
changed pin outs for x and y axis so what should be y axis is moving as x axis now
 but x axis which is now the y axis is not moving but shows as moving in Dro.

SmoothStepper USB / smoothstepper and x axis

« on: November 24, 2012, 11:04:28 AM »

I have finally got  round to installing my Usb smooth stepper which I have had for a few years now
I Have  PMDX 126 Board and a PMDX 107 Im running mach 3 .034.066 using machstdmill  screen set
The problem that I have is that everything works  great except that my X axis will not move at all
it works perfectly with the Parallel port but not with the smooth stepper.
Any help would be much appreciated as Im  getting very dispondant with this,
