I have been using my shapeko xxl for over 3 years without any issues. I turned it on to initialize today and received these errors. I tried refreshing settings in the motion software and nothing is working. Please help… know how to run the machine but I’m not very technical.
Thanks!
Power down, unplug the power supply from the controller and the wall and wait 30 minutes or so.
While waiting, reboot your computer and slowly/gently move the machine through the full range of motion for each axis, bring each axis back to the center of motion — does anything mechanically interfere? If you have a Z-Plus or HDZ are the linear rails well-lubricated?

In my settings in carbide motion I do not see a Debug option. 
Thanks for your help.

Build 582 I was just using it not long ago and running fine.
I had a weird thing happen one time. The cap that covers the plug on top of the spindle popped out and got stuck keeping the spindle from going all the way up and not allowing the CNC to initialize. Long shot but maybe (?)
