X and Y motor directions

Hello, I did some changes to my open frame machine. Frame measures 800mm X 1500 mm. before the changes I had 2 stepper motors moving the gantry on the Y axis. After the changes I have 2 motors moving the gantry along the X axis. Is anyone able to help with changes I need to make so that motors move the correct direction. I need to change the $2= settings
Picture is of my frame before and after…

Most machines aren’t really setup for dual motors on the X axes.

You could exchange the two phases and the motor will rotate the other direction.

As far as I know, these dual motor drivers have the hardware swapped at the board level..

Maybe @misken can make a suggestion, he knows these machines pretty well.

Hang in there
