The problem I had was that the stepper drivers failed (2 of them) for direction. They never changed direction. I isolated it to a resistor on the input opto isolator for direction (open resistor). I sub'd a replacement resistor in and everything worked. I suspect I somehow put to much voltage on the...

I double checked all wiring - no issues. I checked the dir signal to both drivers and everything checks out. It also matches the other driver dir levels. I decided to swap the driver with the 4th axis driver (currently unused) to see if it is the driver. The 4th axis driver worked fine running as th...

I started the system up and did a home step and the X-axis only would move in the positive direction. After some playing aro...
