Hello, I am having trouble setting up the working area of my CO2 laser. Its a homemade Further Fabrication build. I have been using the Lightburn and the Ruida controller for the past 5 years but the ruida quit responding so I decided to upgrade to the Blackbox x32. I’ve set up the work area in the settings, I have limit switches on every axis, Ive set the home position. I’m having trouble getting the laser to figure out the home position. I jog it out into the work area and then hit Home. It just freezes up and gives me this code in the Console.
<Home|MPos:331.754,478.726,150.000|Bf:35,1023|FS:0,0|Ov:100,100,100>
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.
ok

I don’t know why it cant find the limit switch because it doesn’t even move anywhere. I’ve been through the Lightburn documentation and forums and I can’t find a solution.
