Jogging problem Z+ and Z- always goes UP
« on: April 02, 2012, 04:09:06 PM »
I had to make a fresh installing of MACH3. But with jogging axis Z keys UP and DOWN make Z go up.

hotkeys for Z are 33 and 34

Any help appreciated

Either you have a loose connection on the Z Dir wiring or you have the Z Dir assigned incorrectly.

Z dir is ok. I tried reinstalling Mach3 and it worked fine.

Thanks anyway.

im having a similar problem

im using a bunch of cnc4pc boards with all rj45 connections

X and Y were giving similar problems and i messed around with the cables and fixed them

i got z to go  + and - at some point but it wont do it consistently

i made 3 or 4 new cables and im still having the problem
