The stepper driver details aren't the issue here. They are outputs. The outputs will work with any stepper driver and stepper configuration. The sketch is the issue. The stepper driver and stepper are working with the sketch, I just can't get the sketch to work in reverse.
I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but the stepper and driver are working. The sketch is not manipulating the inputs to reverse the stepper. That's where I need the help. Direction works one way, not the other. Dir command is either a high or low. Granted, I'm an old bugger and a crap programmer, but I usually do pretty fair on troubleshooting. I'm getting step commands, so that part is working. The sketch as it is, works, just the method of reversing direction is not working.
I want to add the keypad for input to the sketch written by Chuck Fellows and posted on HMEM. That one works, but requires entering divisions by repetitive key presses instead of a number.

The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer.
