My machine got dripped on from a leaky ceiling. I replaced the controller board but still no change. What next? Stepper? Sensor…? See the video for the problem. video of machine issue
First with the power off move your machine to its full motion. If an SO3/4 you can slowly move the gantry front to back and side to side slowly. If an SO5 then you will need to turn the ball screws slowly to the full reaches. If it works mechanically then next power up. Connect and do not initialize. If you can connect that indicates that your controller is likely working. After connecting then go to the Settings and Debug and see if any thing is triggered. If your gantry is in the home position power off and move it away from the home position. Power up and connect but do not initialize. Go back to Settings and Debug and put a metal object on your 3 homing switches and if you have a BitSetter then push the plunger down. You should see the sensors activated one by one and deactivated when you move the metal object away. If all that passes then move your machine to the homing position and power up, connect but do not initialize. See if your homing switches are activated. If one is not activated then adjust the proximity switch closer until it activates. When you get all switches working then hit the “Setup New Machine” see if it completes and then you can power off and power on, connect, and try to initialize.
If none of that works contact support for further assistance.
