Thread: Mach 3 help. Probably Simple

    Mach 3 help. Probably Simple

    So when I push my left arrow the cnc moves right, and when I push the right arrow my cnc head moves left.

    Also my drawing come our reversed from left to right. So slipped horizontally? Any ideas?

    I just bought a 3040 cnc, and used the settings provided. The scaling was wrong, but I got the motors tunned right, just not sure why this is happening.

    Any help.

    Thanks!

    Config > Ports & Pins > Motor Outputs -- change the "Dir LowActive" flag on whichever motor(s) need to be reversed.
