Z direction wrong

Post by grandawoo » Sun Aug 02, 2020 12:13 am

Okay folks so I have managed to update my firmware after finding a hex version on the geetech website and using cura to update.

My problem is the z axis is moving in the wrong direction and I cannot use arduino/marlin to change the direction (1.0.1) does not work on 64 bit mac osx.

Does anyone know of any solution to this???

TIA

Hi!
You can try to swap the Z-axis driver with the Y or X-axis driver, and test it again. It may be a driver failure, you can replace the driver. :D

Hi, you can try these methods:
1)Check the wires of the endstop.
2)You need to check the endstop work or not

3)Swap the a4988 driver.This might work
