How to measure the current?

[ger21]

Are you sure they are wired the same? Are your setup settings the same? You have to have something different.

So you can jog them, but the g-code won't run? What about the MDI screen, can you run g-code from there?

Tell me where needs to be change.

[ger21]

Axis 1, LowIsPositive = False. Change to True to match the other 2 and they should then all go the right direction. If they are all going the wrong direction, change them all back to the opposite.

I believe on all the axis', "IsActiveLow = True" should be False.

Also, if you're running in 1/8 step mode, "Controller Microsteps" should be 8. And, you're using 1/4-20 leadscrews, right?

[starCNC]

i'll try that, i'm using 1/2-10 leadscrew runing at 1/2 step mode.

[starCNC]

now all motor runs same direction thanks ger21. Still trying to get it to run with g-code. I saved the g-code in .txt format, and open it using automtic machinging to run it. X and Y in motion, but nothing moves
