My machine will no longer "home". Z axis raises till the limit switch, the X axis then jerks twice to the right and then everything stops. All 3 axis work fine when jogging. The X and Z trouble lights are flashing on and off but the alarm lamp is off. Tried a different UNO, same result. Was working fine 3 days ago. We verified the limit switches and alarms work correctly by manually operating the switch, nor does any alarm code appear on the console. The problem occurs with both Open Builds and Candle apps. And yes we tried rebooting the UNO the App and the Computer more than once. Any suggestions appreciated.
Won't bore you with the seems like hundreds of things we tried, the culprit turned out to be the remote mouse. Was apparently sending false signals to the PC which in turn sent false data to the Arduino. Not the battery, the mouse.
thanks for the feedback. My own experience with wireless mice was terrible, several different brands all did the same weird 'only click when moving' thing and I had to go back to a wired mouse which has now been working for 10 years without any issues at all. Overall I'd advise everyone to avoid wireless 'anything' in the control of a machine that can remove limbs.
