ALARM:9 Homing fail

I really need help guys. I just bought a Ortur 2 and I got this error code.

ALARM:9

Homing fail. Could not find limit switch within search distance. Defined as 1.5 * max_travel on search and 5 * pulloff on locate phases.

I checked my switched and everything is put together correctly. Every time I try to set the laser position, it goes all the way to the end and makes a grinding sound as if it’s trying to go off the grid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi i have today just setup my ortur 2 and got exactly the same message which i have no clue how to fix so would also appreciate any help with this.

@welshmike
Most likely, 9 in 10 times, is user forgetting to turn back on the power toggle on the outlet that feeds the 12v
Can you confirm that your power supply has power delivered to it please?
(The green LED might be on even if just connected via USB)

Hey ortur!

I actually fixed my issue! Turns out one of my belts wasn’t tight enough. I tightened it up a bit and now it works like a champ!
