Carving comes out mirrored
Hi, I have saved a text carving out of Maker in both G-Code Arcs mm and UGS GRBL mm but when I go to carve in UGS the text comes out back to front (mirrored). The text shows up correctly in UGS screen but carves incorrectly. All settings are correct as far as Maker goes and UGS operates correctly with the jogging etc.

Hi Carey Silk,
In which axis is your machined text mirrored? Please attach an image showing your unexpected machining results.
Thanks for your time and cooperation.
In the left to Right direction or X axis all lettering is mirrored. The three peices of text are correct in the Y axis and Z axis
Happy

Hi Carey Silk,
Based on the information you've provided, $3 is the command for fixing your reported issue; see here and review this document.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
I think I have fixed the problem to a certain degree by changing $3 value to 5, just have to remember to jog the z axis back to front. Have tried all other values
thanks anyway
Hi Carey Silk,
Out of interest, please confirm the manufacturer and model of your CNC machine.
Thanks again for your time and consideration.
Hi what does $2- actually do I don't understand what a step pulse event is and changing from low to high. Is there a number in the list in the PDF that works with both $2 & $3?

Hi Carey Silk,
Could you have accidentally swapped the wires in the controller board for X with Y and Y with X? Swapping the corresponding wires in the controller board for X and for Y might resolve your issue.
