Currently, I’m having an issue with my Onefinity Elite Foreman. When jogging the system, I can only go halfway the length of the X,Y, and Z axis. Additionally when I try to home it, the Z axis wants to go down instead of how it normally goes up. I did a carve near the end of June and unplugged everything. So this is the first time that I’m getting it back up and running. I’m honestly kind of stumped. All of the connections seem to be seated correctly. If anyone had any insight, I’m all ears! Thank you guys! ---

Without homing (which should be the first thing you do after boot up and estop) it will only go half distance on all axis. TLDR: home the machine first, then jog. ---

When I attempt to home after reboot, the z axis goes down instead of up until it hits a homing error. It says I’ve hit the Z limit when I press Z+ in jogging, though it is at it’s lowest position. I was able to get the Z Axis to return to it’s highest position by: F1\>Z-Axis\>Invert Direction. Though when I try to home, it sends the spindle to the lowest position. I can make it home if I offset the X and Y axis but the Z axis will not respond. It will say it’s homed with the Z at the lowest position. ---

Yea it seems to still be something with my Z axis.
