Hi,
Ok, we've got our Larken conversion to USB CNC setup and running, cut some letters the other day perfectly using vcarve pro, now where having some issues with Z that wasn't displaying the other day.
Z upon either up or down action seems to randomly pick it's direction. Repeated manual jog will cause the motor to switch directions it seems.
Is this a reason to replace the stepper or should I be looking at another issue? If another issue, some pointers would be greatly helpful.
