    Good Morning!
    Very new only month or so in to playing with my CNC please bear with me. Everything was running fine till i built my new baby a home.

    After setting it back up in it's new home I **** the bed and had the router cable caught on on the end causing the Y1 and Y2 to keep going on one side not the other and it skewed the gantry by the time i was able to about a homing procedure.

    I realigned the motors manually by hand and tried homing the system however the motors seem to want to recalibrate and Y1 goes forward Y2 backwards for a second then both run forward cause the the bar to run at a angle and not letting me home both Y's parallel. Attached picture for reference.

    Please send help or point to threads! I will be checking all the wire connections tonight however seems unlikely as once it thinks it's running in tangent it runs up and down the y's without any loud cracking noise.

    Thanks & Happy Friday!!!

    Most likely you have disturbed one of the wire connections to the stepper motor that is misbehaving. POWER OFF and check all the connections.
