    Angry X-Axis will only move if jogged

    So yeah, my X-axis will only move in the positive direction if i jog it. It will move negative just fine while running a program but never positive.
    Since i can jog either direction just fine, i know its not my machine with the problem. Its got to be something with Mach3, but i dont know what.

    Eg.
    G0 X50 (machine wont move)
    G0 X-50 (machine will move)

    Anybody got an idea why?

    might be a weak parallel port.

    When you try to move in the positive direction, do the DRO's change?
