Having an issue getting orientation correct was created by paulmag
A bit of background I had gifted a 1995 Cipher engraving table controlled by a Multicam M23 box all new in the day I wanted to bring it up to date and do a complete rebuild and upgrade and as I knew/know just a little I firstly built a control box using a raspberry PI5 and attached it to a testrig I made and then to a chinese table learning how to use Linuxcnc Freecad and any other useful addons.
Now for the issue I have rebuilt the Cipher table with my Pi5 control box and it all works sensors steppers BUT initially it was engraving text mirrored so I fiddled with the INI file settings min limit and max limit...and eventually got it to do machining BUT the layout is upside down and the X and Y axis numbers are negative below is an image showing the home and extents I have also attached the INI file
I would like to be able to load the files right side up All works fine on my first table build.
I should add that the table image attached is as the physical table but the image on screen in axis shows the home position top rhs if I "fiddle and get the home to btm left on the screen it messes with the homing
