    Axis setup problem

    Hello.. I'm using turbocnc to run the board running a lathe. When I first set it up the only way I could get the motors to run was, the z axis stepper wires were attatched to the TPY connectors. and the X asis was setup on the TPX ports as they should. I believe that the TPY chip is going bad because it intermittantly just stops working. (yes I have fans cooling the heatsinks). I've never had any problems out of the Z axis at all.

    My question is- Is it possible to put my X axis stepper wires on the TPZ connectors and have TURBOCNC be able to export the x axis commnads to the right pins on the LPT port??

    Yeas, just change the pins in TurboCNC for that axis.

    I found the settings and changed them as needed. Thank you!
