    Axis stopping and reversing

    Trying to finish a router build, and my y axis , when jogging, stops and reverses. It will advance +, then all of a sudden stop and reverse, and will travel negative no matter which button I push. I tried the mpg on the screen and it does it this way too. Any suggestions? This is my second four axis kit from Probotix , hoping I don't have the same quality issues I had with the first one.

    Thx.

    I'd suspect an intermittant open in the x axis dir pin, you would need to track it from the computer to the axis to find it.

    I appreciate the response, but not sure what you mean by 'intermittent open'.
