    Does anyone know how I invert the axis in linuxcnc? Using the beta dual ballscrew on the Y so need to edit the hal or .ini to do it as the wizard doesn't support dual motors.

    For twin screws you need Linuxcnc V 2.8 master if you want independent homing. I you want to reverse on of the motors then you can just swap the phases around on the motor.

    What version are you using?

    It's not Dave it's me ;) I'm using the beta I've enabled the master repositories so should be bang up to date, it's does read 2.8 something on boot.

    I was hoping it was just an option in the ini to invert them you can do it from the stepconf but that's no good for setting up dual ballscrews.

    I guess swap the wires around will be the easiest solution.

    My brother asked me what I want for Xmas was going to ask for a 3nm nema 23 which I'll fit to the gantry and swap the 2nm from the gantry to the Z.

    Sorry Me Can you post your ini and hal files and I will take a look, you can invert them in hal. I am In Spain again but back on Tuesday but I might be able to do it from here.
