Homing problem since 1.05.06 Falcon22

First time using laser since update to 1.5.06 now wont home.
get this message now, no problem before update.
ALARM:8
Homing fail. Cycle failed to clear limit switch when pulling off. Try increasing pull-off setting or check wiring.
ALARM:3
Reset while in motion. Grbl cannot guarantee position. Lost steps are likely. Re-homing is highly recommended.
ok
[MSG:Using cpu_map…esp32-s3]
Grbl 1.1f [‘$’ for help]

Any ideas?

This has little to do with Lightburn

Alarm 8 and Alarm 3 are hardware level problems and errors

Alarm 8 means your belts are probably loose and the machine is unalbe to debouc- retract from the switches

Alarm 3 is caused, usually by a crash of the controller

Any chance you using the wrong power adapter?

Hi,
Thank you for your advice, eventually remove my falcon2 from devices and added a generic device manually.
This has resolved the issue.
It only happened after the lightburn update, so must have been coincidental.
Thank you for your help.
