    I am trying to get the 24 volt power supply and the Blackbox 32 setup. The problem is when I jog the x-axis and the Z axis they both move correct. However, the Y-axis, the gantry on one side goes forward and the other end goes backwards. According to the multi-meter the wires show I have all three axis in correctly in the Blackbox. When probed they all show continuity. One thing I noticed was the Documentation only shows the X 4 but not the X 32. Do not know if that might be the problem.

    Thanks in advance,
    Duane

    You, Sir, are my best new friend!! That was it. And I thought I had gone through every page in the manual. Now I need to find the pages on calibrating the axis's. At the present I set a 1/2" jog distance but the router moved 3"! o_O:)
