hello

i have been trying to reverse the direction of my x axis which has two slaved motors both go the same direction but i need to reverse it and i tried doing that through the galil plugin control and the motor tab in control but nothing seems to change like i tried the other axis and nothing.

thanks for you help

Well...  the dog ate my homework.  And so on and so forth.    You will need to get the latest Galil plugin to make the motor reverse check box in the motor tuning tab to affect the motor direction.

Ok I'll reinstall the plugin then see if that makes a difference

hi so i tried your plugin, i first uninstalled mach 4 and then reinstalled it, then installed your plugin which turns out is a different version to the one on the galil plugin page that i was currently using but it then it wouldn't pick up my controller so i rolled it back to the website version and then was able to pick up the controller (galil dmc 4080) so i tried reinstalling your plugin again and still wouldn't pick up the controller so not sure why that is, also i did buy the plugin as like i said on my first post it did work but the  the x axis was in reverse. 


and btw the dog never ate my home work i just never did it 

Yes, the new plugin is a different version.  It is newer. 

You will probably have to install the latest GDK from Galil.  It will install the GCAPS service.  You must be running a 64 bit version of windows to use the latest Galil drivers in the GDK.

You do not need to reinstall Mach.  We are just dealing with the plugin at the moment.
