General Mach Discussion / Re: HELP!!! stepper motor running rough in one direction only

just a thought, you do have the stepper motor bolted down rigid and not just sitting loose on the bench ?

Not good news but as you have thoroughly checked everything else, all that remains is a fault with your gecko g251x

Perhaps try replacing the stepper motor and/or check that the phase connections are correct (A,+A / B,+B) - check with multimeter rather than rely on wire colours.

Have you tried changing (and applying) the Step Low Active state for the axis in Config / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs  ?

As it happened 'out of the blue' so to speak it could well be a corrupt Mach3 profile. Mach3 keeps copies of earlier settings so try loading an earlier copy (from a time before the problem existed). Check Operator / Restore Settings then follow on-screen instructions.

Hope this helps.

Quite correct - all you have to do is turn it over

My neighbour has just ordered a new Ford Mustang. Apparently there is an 8 months waiting list here in the UK, something to do with shortage of computer chips. This morning I laser cut a couple of these logo’s for him - just to make him broody.

Excellent work.
Can the Python can be 'run online' to generate the Gcode file ?
