    Re: mach3 x and y axis only moe in one direction

    This is a very simple interface with a power supply for motor drivers. Do you have a logic probe to see if you are seeing pulses on the PU pin? Most people do not have a scope to check the signals. Do you know that Bob is good? This should move with no issues

    See my latest post.
    Maybe these aren't enabled by default and need the enable signal.
    Maybe they prefer common cathode/anode wiring.
    Info and manual are in my post.
