    I have obtained a small bench top router. Running Mach3 with a Smoothstepper. When I try to jog the axes the steppers only rotate in one direction when + or - is called on the keyboard or screen control. Thought I was past all this but swapping wires etc. has no effect. Just know I have something wrong that my brain is not focusing on. Please help!
