    Greetings
    I just wired up an X32, replacing a functional blackbox. And I cannot get the Z axis to function properly. From CONTROL I can jog the Z axis but I cannot get it to follow the button presses. I jog up it goes down or up and sometimes both directions, I jog down it goes up or down sometimes both directions with 1 button press.
    Thanks Crash

    If it is erratic, then you may have a loose wire in you z Stepper cable.
