no, it worked fine yesturday.  I just can't remember what has to be done with the setting's.  when i encountered this problem in the past, i sent the drive back to geko, bought a new motor, traded motors and drives.  in the end, all of the hardware was o'k'.  it was just a adjustment with mach.  i just can't remember what had to be done.

greetings.  i've been running mach for a number of years and it has been great.  just replaced my hard drive and installed everthing and can't get the x axis motor to work properly.  grins and jerks and i remember having this problem in the past and can not recall what I have to change, to get things working well.  z and y are working great. Gekos are the drives. I'm using steppers.  Thanks in advance form the help.
