Leave controller ON or turn OFF at end of day

1

Hi all,

Are there any issues with leaving the controller on overnight?
Should it be turned off at the end of the day or does it matter?

Thanks

Honestly, I have had my OS corrupted twice after power-down so I tend to leave it running unless I know I won’t be running for a few days. I have noticed the heat building up in the controller after a long period of idling. I don’t believe the hold currents on the stepper motors is a concern at all.

Your mileage may vary.
