Homing error alarm / B Motor Alarm on elite masso [Solved, sensor in direct sunlight]

Last new post from me today - I’ve been saving them all up!

I had a problem when homing the machine - it would move just fine, but when it got to closing the light gate sensor it would throw a Homing error alarm / B motor alarm.

I didn’t find any mention of this on the forum so I wanted to post my findings and solutions:

I was running my machine in direct sunlight - the IR light coming from the sun was overwhelming the optical sensor. The solution was to stick a bit of tape over the sensor to keep the light out. Super easy, and I’m sure this will help someone out some day.



Dan, you aren’t the only one. Another month before I see my machine but I have read this from others at some point. Their solution was the same.
