Need some help please

Im an absolute NewB just working my way through the process. Running a Shapeoko 4 Pro. I designed a very simple cut - basically cutting out a circle - using Fusion 360. Took a course from PDO Academy. Everything looked good - simulation was good. Loaded program, started the run and the router did not go to the correct starting point (at least where I thought I set it to go). Had to shut down as the router started to cut into the base. The STOP command on the interface didn’t stop the machine, so I turned it off with the power switch.

I started all over a again by initializing the Shapeoko. I got two error messages:

HOMING CYCLE FAILED
and
GRBL Error: Homing Failed, Pull Off Didn’t Clear.

How do I “reset” the system or what do I need to do to get it to home properly.

Initializing should start everything over — does the Z-axis lift at all?

Yes - it lifted in the z-axis, moved in the x-axis, but not in the y-axis. I gently checked to see if it was stuck along the y-axis - it did move manually about half an inch. I initialized, and it responded correctly.

I’ll go back to Fusion 360 and try to figure out what I did wrong. Thank you for your quick response!
