Z Motor Hard Limit Alarm

I just finished installing the Easy ATC last night and everything was working well. When I turned the machine on today, there was an active Z motor hard limit alarm. I tried restarting the controller. I also tried activating and deactivating the e-stop. I cleared the alarms by changing all the ‘high’ to ‘low’ in settings (except for the estop) I am unable to move the Z axis with the machine on or off. The axis is raised all the way. Is there a way to deactivate the brake or another method to lower to Z to be able to try to home it again?

Hi Nate, Since you were installing the ATC plug on the back of the masso, I’d start with reseating the Z axis plug, which is right beside where you were working.

So…it seems that the problem was the USB drive. I replaced the USB drive but did not put all the sub routine files etc on the new drive. When I put the old drive back in, everything started working properly.
