One motor goes wrong way - How to reverse its direction

Hello Gerald, Hello Guys,

Todays was the first steps (moves not cuts) of my mechmate !!.
Z moves ok, Y too. But on XX' the two motors went on opposite way !! so the mechmate went out of his rails !!. Wiring problems i suppose ?. I will have an answer from Laurent from Techlf during the week.
The interface of the new version of Isa4d (V2.1) is very cool.... Have a look.
Photos and videos during the weeks ...

Bye,

Pierre.

Great news!
you should be able to reverse the direction of the x motors in your software and not have to rewire. I know this is the case with Mach. Congratulations on your first move!

To change the direction of a motor, the easiest is to reverse ONE coil. (Do not reverse both coils). For your drive, you can swop EITHER the red & blue (terminals 1 and 2), OR you can swop the black & green (terminals 3 and 4).


I prefer to change it in the hard-wiring. Sometimes a software upgrade does not catch all the old settings.
