Our computer broke so we had to reinstall Mach.
We used the same settings for ports and pins etc. we had on the old installation.
But now when I move the X-axis it often runs the same direction while pushing X- or X+.
(when I swapped the X and Y pins in the settings then the Y had the same problem)
Maybe someone here has encountered the same problem and there is a easy fix.
Stick a meter on the direction pin for the X axis. It should change from close to 5V to near 0V, or vice versa. The direction pin is what causes the motor to change directions.
