Of course, if a motor doesn't tu rn in the correct direction . just
reverse the orde r of the w ires for that motor at the 12-term inal
con nector for your mac hine to fu ncti on properly after the motors
are installed (see Figure 5.27).
With KCam 4 installed and set up yo u were able to perform a few
successful tests of the drivers and interface boa rds. After correct-
ing any problems, if there we re any, you w il l have mounted the
electronics in some kind of enclosure. The finished product w ill
look tidy and provide some protection for the boards. The elec-
tronics are now behind you. In Chapter 6 you will start construc-
tion of your CNC machine by building the frame.
