m03 m05 on off

Problems and questions
1

hi ,i am trying to find an answer to my problem, its probably quite easy,
my m03 torch on, and m05 torch off ,command are reversed for some reason , ie:- when at m03 it turns the plasma torch off and when at m05 it turns it on, anyone have any idea whats going on please
if i change the g code, swap m03 for m05 it works fine but that takes forever.
i’m using sheetcam and mach 3.

In Mach3 go to Config->ports and pins->spindle setup. Check what output # you are using for clockwise (M3). Now go to the output signals page and look for thenat output #. On that outout click on the ‘active low’ box. If it was a cross it will chage to a tick and vice-versa.

That should solve your problem.
