The title says it all. Tried to start a project this morning and the a Gerble error 4 stopped the operation because the bitsetter was not in the “expected state”. The red light is on and the green led lights when you depress the bitsetter… After resetting, re-initializing, unplugging and re-plugging, the error remains.
Decided to re-configure carbide motion. During the setup of the the machine, the bitsetter input state shows it is pushed continuously. removing the little cable to the bitsetter removes the inout state indication ( implying to me that it is not a problem with a shorted cable or something in the control box). I have emailed customer service. I suspect the bitsetter will need to be replaced, but was wondering if anyone had any insight into other potential things I should check.
The BitZero and BitSetter are connected electronically. So if your BitZero magnet is grounded then the BitSetter shows active. Many people make a little pocket to place their BitZero in and a place to secure the magnet.
