(Phecda Laser 20W) Error going home with limit switches

Elegoo Phecda 20W.

A few weeks ago I installed a double limit switch per axis on my Elegoo Phecda 20W and when I pressed go home it made the travel to the limits in both the x and y axis and stopped, everything perfect. Then my laser head broke and I ordered a replacement from Elegoo.

When the replacement arrived I installed it and now when I hit “go home” the engraver only makes a small movement of the X and Y axes that ends with an error on the screen.

I checked switches, wiring, restarted the Ligthburn software, tried increasing the homing pull-off to 100mm, etc and it still doesn’t work.

I leave the as images of how I have configured the software.


Thank you.

Sorry to hear you have issues…


You didn’t mention if you had any error messages from grbl…? The console is a tab in the cut/layer window. You many have to enable it with window → console


When you replace a part a couple things can happen…

  1. You have disturbed or broken a wire, unseated a connector … these are the electrical parts.
  2. The mechanics are not activating the switches because of a physical misalignment or other mechanical issue.

Pretty much that’s it. I have my machine enabled for homing… If this were an issue, I think grbl would have printed an error message on your console.

Good luck
