OK the Gcode is correct that only leaves the machine. IF you command a move in X or Y of say 5 inches does it move 5 inches ?

All you have to do is command a move from the MDI say G1 X5.000. The machine should move  X 5.000 +/- inches.

OK that means the step per unit setting is wrong in the axis tuning section by x2. Cut the value in half and try again.

Axis tuning section??   where would I find that?   I just put a new driver on it but have double checked and the dip switches are set where they are supposed to be.  But yes I have a good idea you are correct, now to figure out how to find the axis tuning.   lol.

Go to Config then motor tuning look at the steps per settings.  You need to set each axis seperately AND don't forget to SAVE each axis as you go.
