Super Long Board stopped working

Hey I am trying out the Auto Square early access firmware and everything was working well but now I cant get my machine todo anything.

When I click home I get an error message about finding limit switches.
I have checked that all of the limit switches respond as expected in the calibration tab.

I have checked motor and switch wiring and I am just not sure what to check now.

@Sparky1 Welcome to the group, Jesse. I’ve moved your issue to the SLB category so that the SLB group in Sienci will see it.
You may also want to open a support ticket.

SLB trouble shooting

I am not 100% what happened but I basically had to reset the controller settings back to stock settings using the Longmill MK2 as the base and adjust from there to get things working again.

I tried several times to load my old working GRBL settings from a backup file I had but nothing worked until I did the above.

Huh… would you happen to still have the old settings file on hand @Sparky1, maybe I could parse through and see if anything odd sticks out to me

Sure here is the old one and the most recent one.

Thanks! The second file you loaded unfortunately is the gSender settings file and not the machine firmware settings so I can’t compare that one, but looking at a comparison of your first file to our typical default settings it seems like:

  • the current to the drivers is a little bit lower
  • the homing speeds are much slower
  • it doesn’t seem like you have it so homing reset your machine origin

I doubt any of these are the issue since they’re all relatively minor compared to the defaults so it’s likely that I’m just missing the added info that having that second firmware file might give. The only other thought I can bring to the table is that it’s common practice to reset defaults anytime you load a new firmware since it can be possible when that new firmware is loaded for existing settings to be changed or new settings to inherit the wrong values. This is why we recommend resetting to default anytime you load a new firmware, then import all the remaining settings from there. If this was the case of what happened to you, then I could definitely see you getting odd behaviour that was fixed with a reset :+1:

Thanks for looking Chris, I reloaded the Auto Square firmware and reset defaults to the Longmill MK2 and then adjusted from there and it has been good since then.
Again I apricate the time.
