Laser moves fine but won't home. Alarm8

Hmmm alarm 8 🤔

Just installed end stop on a S9, but it won’t home, it doesn’t move just makes a quick sound and then “Alarm 8”

If I run the machine and activate the switches with my finger, the machine stop as I should.

Any suggestions?

I’ve done it on multiple other machines, but this is the first time I have seen this alarm

Show all the machine settings.

ALARM:8

Homing mislykkedes. Cyklus kunne ikke rydde grænsekontakten, da den satte i gang. Prøv at øge igangsætningsindstillingen, eller kontrollér ledningerne.

If I disconnect the switches from the board and press “Home” it still gives me the same alarm

This alarm shows that the switches are recognized as pressed all the time. You might need to change the $5 value.
Go through this documentation: Limit Switches - Diode Laser Wiki

That did the trick :muscle::blush::nerd_face:
Thanks for the help
