VFD Spindle has a mind of its own today

So today I go to use my machine and the VDF Spindle starts acting strange… The Botton is pushed in and the Red Ring is lit up, But when I go to initialize the machine the spindle starts to spin!! Never done that before. So I press the Stop/reset button and download the new Build for Carbide Motion and reset the Machine Shapeoko Pro XXL… so I initialize it again and then i go to set the BitZero V2. up to Do a Probe and “WHAM” the spindle comes on and Jerks the cable out of the control board… So now I’m at a loss of what to do. just sent an email into support. But has this ever happened to anyone before?

Very much So !! But it was more like WTF :laughing:

So I have wired the BitZero back together except for the Clip that goes on to the Control Board… I can’t find it any were. So I’m just waiting on Support to get back too Me.

It might still be attached to the controller :thinking:
