    I am brand new to CNC's so please bear with me. I do not know all the technical terms just yet. I am still learning. I have an Open Builds Lead 1010 and I am getting a x limit triggered alarm. Only one of the X axis will move the other remains stationary. Everything seams to be connected. I downloaded the update. When I manually touch the limit trigger the light comes on. Thank foe any help and suggestions.

    Which controller do you have? (BlackBox?)
    Which limit switches do you have? (Xtension Limits?)
    Which host software are you using? (CONTROL)
    Which light? In the software? Or where?

    The LEAD1010 only has one X axis and one X axis motor. Do you mean Y?

    In CONTROL, go to the Troubleshooting tab. Here you can test your limit switches - make sure you didn't accidentally plug X switch into Y or Z port for example.
    If only one Y motor moves, recheck your wiring on the other motor.
    Work your way through docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox
