I have built a Joes Evo machine with some minor modifications, using Joes plates. In Mach 3 I have the Left side as the Y axis and the opposite side, as the A (slave) axis. If just the Y is engaged, it works fine, although not as stable as if the two were running in concert. In a similar vein, the z axis seems to be going up when it should be going down. (running the open sign path from vcarve) Everything that has been a major crisis initially so far has turned out to be a simple fix, I have read and re-read the Mach 3 manual and all of the other materials I have, and this one has me puzzled. I am sure I am missing something.

I have Mach 3, Joes Plates, velox 10:1 z slide with drop plate, CNCRP nema 23 kit, gecko 540. I haven't put alot of time into the ESS from Warp9, figured I would incorporate that later, as things seem to be progressing nicely without it.
Thanks, John

In Mach3, you setup your ports and pins. In your motor pins setup, reverse your directions on the slave motor and your z axis motor.

Motor Outputs and then Dir Low Active. click it green, then the rotation is reversed on the motor.
