    Question C11G , Geckos ,Mach3 problem

    I am attempting to install a C11G Bob to run 2 Gecko 320 and 1 Gecko 201
    The 201 runs the Z Stepper.
    The Stepper will only run in one direction . Anyone explain what the problem may be.
    I use Mach3.

    Sounds like for some reason the direction signal is not getting to the drive.

    Maybe it is not being sent from Mach because of a wrong pin setting. Verify that first.

    Then check with a meter at the drive that the direction signal is getting there and is changing state with direction change.. Will be a 5v signal.

    Chase it down logically and you should get a good sense of where it is getting lost.
