z and y axis invert issues
-
I'm new here and to this world so please be gentle. In universal g code sender when reversing z-axis $3=4, Z axis operates correctly, however Y axis is now reversed, When I reverse Y axis $3=2, Z axis reverts back to reverse operation.
The definition aof insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result, I'm close
Please help,

@Wayne-K This would be so much easier using T2Laser software, you just select from the menu to reverse the axis but since you want to do it the hard way
.If you set $3=0 all the axis will be "normal", so now, say you need to reverse the Y and Z (I think that's what you're saying) then that requires the 2nd and 3rd bits to be set (the first bit is the X axis).
So you want binary 00000110 or 6 in decimal. Command is $3=6.
If you only need to reverse the Z then you were correct in $3=4 because that would require only the 3rd bit set 00000100.

Thanks for the reply, I will try when I get home later this PM. Does T2 laser support engraving 3 axis?
-
@Wayne-K Yes, it supports 3-axis and rotary engraving. The trial is free to try and you can find all the details on my website http://t2laser.org

@Zax
$3=0 then $3=6 Fixed it. Thanks for your help. T2 seems to be a viable alternative but that 30 minute trial makes it tough to get a handle o n things. IMHO

@Wayne-K You can restart it over and over, no limit. If I didn't have a restriction in some way no one would register and I would quickly stop development as the costs each month are too high for me to personally bear without support from users.

@Zax I understand completely , but a 30 day limit would be a much better trial.
