Hi guys, I'm a total newb so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.
So I recently bought one of those cheap CNC routers from eBay, and I have a slight issue. I've got it all setup in Mach3, but when I jog the X axis (from the Mach3 interface), it sometimes goes in the right direction, and sometimes the wrong direction. So when I click the "X+" button, it sometimes goes left, instead of going right, and vice-versa.
Also, when it's going in the wrong direction, and the machine reaches its limit, it will then start going in the right direction.
This is a big problem as it happens when I'm actually routing, causing the end result to be totally wrong.
Any ideas on whats going on here, and how to fix it?
