    Z movement is reversed

    Im trying to make my first 3 axis cut on my taig/gecko setup and everything is working perfect ....except the movement of the z axis.

    While all the movements are occuring, they are backwards, so plunging into my stock actually rises the axis up away from it. Everything else looks fine.. even in table/toolpath view in the upper right it appears as it should but the machine is doing the opposite.

    Any ideas? Its got to be some simple stupid setting somewhere. Thanks!

    (off the top of my head)

    its in the ports & pins settings page. There is a column called direction low active.

    click this, and it should make it run the other way

    Mach3 Config Homing/Limits screen allows you to reverse any axis.

    Awesome. The ports and pins setting was the one i was missing. that or a combination of the two. I've got one last snag and i'll be golden! (coordinates mistake) thanks guys!
