Finished setting up our new 5 Pro on Monday and can’t initialize the machine. When attempting initialization, the router/x axis carrier plate raises or lowers depending on the plate location and then down or up with a rattling sound. Software error code is
“GRBL Alarm 9. Homing Fail. Could not find limit switch within search distance.”
Checked all switches, wiring and walked back through the setup to verify everything was according to instructions but we’re unable to solve the issue.
Have reached out to support, sent pictures and a video of the initialization and hoping for a quick reply and remedy.
In the meantime, wondering if anyone else with the 5 Pro has experienced the same and solved for it?
We walked through the troubleshooting prior to posting and still are having the same issue. All switches are working and tested. No debris, All connectors and wiring looks good. I’ve read on a few other posts that removing the existing zip ties may unbind a particular wire, but given the switches all work, not sure thats the next purdent step. Still waiting on support to get back to us. Hoping they have some additional suggestions.
If the troubleshooting page doesn’t cover it, you probably need some replacement electronics — the support folks will work out what if need be and how to get it to you.
After following all the trouble shooting and back and forth with support with the issue persisting, I decided to test all the individual wires for connectivity and found one of the black wire’s terminal was not pushed all the way into the switches pin connector.
