    What the heck is going on folks. Right in the middle of a job and my machine decides to update.
    Now The machine is just sitting here grinding.
    What do I do now?

    Tried reseting it but it is just grinding in the Z axis. What a bunch of crap.
    Sorry but I am tired of having to reset this box every time I get an update.

    Impossible to be software related. Grinding noise from a motor usually means wiring: one or the 4 motor wires broke or came loose. See docs:blackbox-4x:faq-identify-motor-coils [OpenBuilds Documentation]
    Updates only runs when there isn't a running job, so the machine may have already errored out for some other reason - check the gcode before running it again

    You should never reset it. Maybe you doing that is causing some of your issues.

    I always disconnect it off to do a bit change.
    Last thing I want is it starting up by accident. As soon as I connected again it did the update.
    Everything was running fine before that.
    Anyway After having to reset everything again I am up and running. Next time this try's to update I am going to block it until I feel I need it.
