Gentlemen, Newb here and and advice is required. I've recently wrapped up a retrofit of an EMCO PC 50 Mill with new steppers, Smoothstepper, Gecko and Mach3.
I've got Y & Z axis manually actuating and homing perfectly.
The X axis, under repeated manual actuation (left/left/left) will intermittently change direction. Likewise manually actuating in the right direction multiple times the stepper intermitently reverses direction. Changing around motor leads moves the problem around.
When Mach tries to Home in the X axis it sit's and growls....
Thoughts?
Cheers!
