Longer B1 and a Longer Rotary tool

New to all this stuff, but fairly tech / mech comfortable.

Got the B1 30W setup and running with flat work. Trying to get the rotary tool to work. I plug it into the Y axis from the controller, launch LB, turn on the laser and then do the rotary setup. Click test and it errors out with Error 9. I clear that with $X and then $H to rehome as it suggests. I then get a hard limit alarm after the rollers spin for a couple of minutes.

What am I missing? From what I’ve seen, these things are supposedly fairly plug and play.

Here’s what gets pumped out

ALARM:1

Hard limit triggered. Machine position is likely lost due to sudden and immediate halt. Re-homing is highly recommended.

You can’t home any rotaries that I know of… they do not have switches to indicate where home is…

You’ll have to run it in a manual mode…
