Input drivers

I had my 2007 controller box serviced over christmas. and with the great customer service, i finally got my shopbot to work.

i went to cut my first project and the output was upside down. facing the shopbot, i normally position the 0X and 0Y on the right corner. see photo.

tech support suggested switching the X & Y channels. but this did not work.

any suggestions

thanks

Sorry the picture is upside down

Are you saying that the sign cut in the orientation that is shown in the picture? (once I turned it right side up)

When you open the Keypad ("K") and press the right arrow, which way does the machine travel?
Same question for the Up arrow?

Cool, your machine carves upside down. ;)

i wish i was from australia and i will not have a problem with my upside down machine.

now for the duh moment! gary your question as to which way the gantry moves when i press the right or up arrow, made me think that the manual gantry movement should correspond with the arrows. duh! so i had to try it and the left and right arrow move the x and up and down move the y.

just to be sure, i have a 48x96 bed and the 96 is the x axis and 48 is the y axis. or do i have it backward?

so for 10 years have my settings been wrong?

Yes, the 96 is considered the x axis and the 48 is considered the y axis.
