I added limit switches, got gSender 7.5. Flashed the firmware update. Set the parameters to the instructions for the limit switches. I hit the Home button in the upper right, it went through and then I had a unlock screen pop up. Then nothing moved, no matter the direction. I disconnected and reconnected, or tried to connect and now get the following message. "error openting port ‘/dev/ttyACM0’.

I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 and could use some help in getting this operating again.

Unplug USB, replug and try again.

I did, it reconnected, but nothing is moving. It said click to home (red), then homing (green) and can’t get it to move in any direction. Even tried reflashing the firmware. I even tried CNCjs and the machine won’t move now.

No errors popping up?  
Anything in the Console?

No. My feeble brain can’t figure it out. I was thinking of hooking up a laptop but I think it is something in the firmware or maybe even the longboard and whether it’s RP4 or Windows won’t make a difference .

I reflashed firmware again. And whatever it did worked. Machine is operational and homes to left front corner. Now to figure out work offsets.

Not sure what you might have changed, but glad you’re in business.

It’s strange, the settings in the firmware look different. I will check them out and write them down to keep later when I turn it on again. Time to watch football.
