I went into setup and saw that A was set to slave to X, so I changed it to slave to Y. I did some research and found some advice on this forum on how to switch my X and Y in Mach3 ports and pins, which I followed, only to find my A motor was working counter to my (newly configured) Y motor. I suppose that would be fine, except my bed is four foot long and my gantry only two foot, so it's a pain in the neck. I've discovered that I set the X and Y up backwards on mine, so the G code I'm outputting thinks my gantry is my Y and my long bed rails are my X. Well, now's the time, I've set it up in my new home and I'm running some tests on it with Cut3D and I've also got access to a friend's setup with Aspire (awesome, except for the whole running over to his shop and then back to mine thing!). I built an FLA-200 2x4 cnc router about four years ago, and then life happened and it ended up in storage before I really got to learn to use it.
