    Hi Guy's I need some Help Please?

    I'm having a problem with my Z Axis motor tuning . The settings are listed below. It goes in both directions when I use either of the Z+ or Z- tabs. Have any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

    The wiring has been checked and double checked. I'm running the jog rate at 45% and it keeps going in one direction and then reverses the direction. If I run it at 100% it does nothing.



    I listed the settings below

    I'm using M542 drivers.
    Motors

    * Manufacturer Part Number: 23HS45-4204S
    * Motor Type: Bipolar Stepper
    * Step Angle: 1.8 deg.
    * Holding Torque: 3.0Nm(425oz.in)
    * Rated Current/phase: 4.2A
    * Phase Resistance: 0.9ohms
    * Inductance: 3.8mH+/-20%(1KHz)

    You don't say what the voltage of the power supply is that feeds the drives?

    It could be your Keyboard.!! . . . .Try another. I've had this type of thing happen before and it's been the keyboard related.

    If that doesn't work and your 100% sure your wiring is ok then Re-install Mach3. Also if this is a Dodgy copy of Mach3 that came with the BOB then dump it and download the latest Lockdown version from Artsoft site.

    So I was using a Logitech wireless keyboard and just switched it to a direct USB plug in keyboard and it works fine.

    Thanks for the help Guys.
