General Mach Discussion / Re: problem with Z axis
« on: October 12, 2015, 10:57:08 AM »
Alot of times changing the DIR LowActive setting can have an impact on stepper drives. The best way I have found is going into the CONFIG>HOMING/LIMITS and changing the the setting in the reversed column for the axis that is going the wrong direction. This screen is also where you reverse the direction of the homing "HOME NEG' column if you have home switches setup and it is homing in the wrong direction.
I think that your problem may be in your gcode. it sounds to me like the Z up move is a clearance move. The z down move is a cut move. below the Z zero point. If you are running G code, can you copy and paste a section of it that has the Z moves?
