I’m having an issue where the Z axis will keep going ( either + or - ) well after the input on the xbox controller is stopped. I’ve also tried replacing the xbox controller with a new one. Video of it happening around the 10s mark: Dropbox - IMG_8540.MOV - Simplify your life Any ideas on this?

You can try reflashing the firmware, per our support email suggestion: [image] How to reflash the operating system on the Onefinity BB controller (Full SD card image) Full SD Image There are times when you may have a file go corrupt or (advanced) users start poking under the hood and may need to reflash the entire vanilla image to the sd card. This process is essentially reinstalling the Onefinity operating system from scratch. This process is only for advanced users OR if you were directed to this via support. If you are looking to update the firmware from a controller that is working properly, do not use this method, look for the update file in the ‘firmware updates’ s…

So I’ve been rebooting between every carve now since I posted this and haven’t had the behavior since. Previously I would leave the controller running for weeks between reboots. In those periods of no reboots I would also be running multi-hour carves as well (5-10mb nc files). I feel pretty confident in saying this is a bug/flaw in the RPI or the controller software (maybe a memory leak?) - given I’ve also had other issues solved by a reboot from the controller leaking file descriptors and temp readings being off.

I just had this happen for the second time with my non-xBox controller. I did a few carves today; maybe an hour total. After the last one I went to remove the bit and the z-axis starting moving down. I’ve had this happen in the past with my x axis and bought a new controller. I’ll try some other things this time.

@KenA FWIW I haven’t had this happen since updating to v1.1.1 and using an official xbox controller with a wired connection
