    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm having issues homing my machine.

    I use a grbl32 board from Makerfr with oepnbuilds control (great piece of software by the way!).

    I installed my limit switches last week and was able to home the machine. Yesterday I tried again and received ALARM 6 and ALARM 3 messages when trying to home. That's supposed to be a soft reset but I haven't touched anything...

    In the troubleshoot section of the controler I see that the reset button is always on but I don't have any buttons installed. When I measure the voltage on the reset pins of the board I get 0v (as opposed to 3.3v on the probe/hold/start pins).

    Could it be an interference problem that's holding the reset pins low?
    I test the homing with the VFD off.

    The normally-closed limit switches work individually and when I enable the hard limits they do their job but homing doesn't work because of (I believe ) the reset issue.

    This is what I get when I connect after power up:

    Once again there's a reset happening for some reason. Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    Could be incorrect firmware for the board (with an inverted bitmask on the reset pin) or if that firmware allows configuring buttons in its settings. Might be better to ask your board vendor. Unfortunately seems like hardware/firmware. Also keep in mind CONTROL is for use with Gnea's vanilla Grbl 1.1
