So, I went into Motor Home/SoftLimits and again reversed the settings between X and Y, went back out, jogged the machine away from the hard stops, hit reference all again, and it ran Y right into the hard stop again. Except when I hit reference all, the Y went in the right direction to return to home, but ran right into the hard stop and kept running until I hit reset. So I went into ports and pins again and saw that X had been set to active low while Y was active high, so I switched that around so Y was high and X was low, and now everything's kosher again and I can jog the machine as I'd like with no problems. I went into setup and saw that A was set to slave to X, so I changed it to slave to Y. I did some research and found some advice on this forum on how to switch my X and Y in Mach3 ports and pins, which I followed, only to find my A motor was working counter to my (newly configured) Y motor.
I suppose that would be fine, except my bed is four foot long and my gantry only two foot, so it's a pain in the neck. I've discovered that I set the X and Y up backwards on mine, so the G code I'm outputting thinks my gantry is my Y and my long bed rails are my X. Well, now's the time, I've set it up in my new home and I'm running some tests on it with Cut3D and I've also got access to a friend's setup with Aspire (awesome, except for the whole running over to his shop and then back to mine thing!). I built an FLA-200 2x4 cnc router about four years ago, and then life happened and it ended up in storage before I really got to learn to use it.
