    Question Axis is Mirrored

    I have a Homebuilt CNC machine, running HobbyCNC motor package, I have EMC2 on Ubuntu 8.04 installed on my PC and everything seems to run well, except for one problem: My X-axis is inverted. Everything looks like it's coming out mirrored (text read right to left, etc).

    Can anyone help me fix this?

    I'm pretty new to CNC machines and to EMC2, but not electronics an Linux.

    Thanks.

    You can swap the A and /A leads on your X drive or you can
    go into you ".ini" file and put a "-" sign in front of the X-axis scale value.

    Yeah, I figured I could switch the wires, but was curious of any software adjustment.

    thanks

    So, did you get it fixed then? Which did you use?
