Note that $3=0 out of the list of things there.
Type $3=1
Then type $$
Note that now in your list $3=1, and when you jog the machine X now moves in the opposite direction. If
all axis move in the wrong direction you would type $3=7, for example.
One last thing to check is that the spindle turns the right direction. Type M3 S12000 in the serial port.
This should turn the spindle on at 12000 RPM. Type M5, the spindle stops. Looking down at the top of
the spindle, it should turn to the right.
The machine is set up and ready to be used! Play around with the $ settings. Set travel limits, set max
velocities and accelerations.
