I have an Orion Motor Tech SH-G460 machine with the Ruida controller. The problem I'm having is the first test I ran both axes are inverted. I seem to remember seeing somewhere there are settings to fix that.

I'm trying to get into the Default parameters settings pages and it is asking for a password. I've tried all the regular passwords (RD8888, HF8888, CC8888) and none of them work. Does anyone know of other passwords that work on this controller?

rd8888 has been the password default for the 6442G for quite a while. What is the firmware version on your controller (watch the controller's screen during bootup)? Maybe Orion Motor Tech has altered the controllers on their machines to a different password? Ruida will provide customization for large volume customers (e.g. Thunder Laser). Have you contacted Orion?
