Reverse stepper motor direction on driver/motor winding
« on: August 03, 2024, 12:14:08 PM »
Ho got a motor that runs on the Z axis the wrong way. I cannot find a setting in pokeys57cnc to reverse it. Well I think I did but it does not work.

Howewer I found in the driver instructions for the CW8060 (cnc4you.co.uk) that the motor interface can be rewired to reverse the direction.

The documentation reads:
"A+ and A- is connected to a phase winding of motor.
B+ and B- is connected to another phase winding of motor.

If you need to reversed' one of the phase windings can be reversed" (or it can be reversed in software).

I have attached a picture of the wiring, but do not understand exactly what the above statement means regarding the "one of the winding can be reversed". Does it mean simply swap A+ with A- ? Or would i have to swap A+ -> A- and B+ -> B-???

Or have just got that completely wrong???

Any help appreciated.

thanks

Swap over either the A+A- OR the B+B- but not both.
