    Motor moves one direction using mach 3

    No matter which direction button is pushed motor moves only one way to the right.

    If so you are missing your direction signal.

    I recently had the same problem when testing my controller. One of the wires running from the BOB to the driver didn't have the 5+vdc current running through it it was suppose to. I replaced it & the problem went a way. I found it with my multi-meter.
