    hi all

    Just after a bit of advice. I turned on my workbee this morning and although the machine was working fine yesterday, all my limit pins (nc) were all showing up as activated and no power was being sent to the stepper motors.

    I’m using an xpro v4 and am unsure what has happened in just 10 hours. Has anyone got any advice?

    Thanks

    No power to motors:
    Check that
    1) PSU is on and outputting power
    2) That $4=1 in your Grbl settings (reset afterwards to take effect)

    The endstops showing triggered is weirder though. Any shorts, power surges, etc that could have damaged the board?

    Thanks peter. Just got it sorted. Ended up having to reset the board and steppers now working again. All I’ve got to do now is put all my settings back in
