Soft limits cannot work unless you first home the machine so it knows where it is!ĮRROR 11 – STATUS_OVERFLOW GRBL has a max number of charactors it will accept in one command, it received on that was too long – often happens when CAM software puts long comments in fileĮRROR 12 – STATUS_MAX_STEP_RATE_EXCEEDED You tried to set a Step rate that was too high, look at your $110, $111,$112 values! ERROR 13 – STATUS_CHECK_DOOR You have the safety door funtion turned on and it is showing not closed…close itĮRROR 14 – STATUS_LINE_LENGTH_EXCEEDED You should not see this error and if you do you should know what it means!ĮRROR 15 – STATUS_TRAVEL_EXCEEDED You have got soft limits turned on and configured, and the job your trying to run is larger than you have told grbl that your machine actualy is. Did you forget to $X the machine? Or is it sitting on a Limit Switch?ĮRROR 10 – STATUS_SOFT_LIMIT_ERROR You will see this if you try to enable soft limits without also enabling homing cycle. Example you sent $$ while the Active state was run (job was in progress)ĮRROR 9 – STATUS_SYSTEM_GC_LOCK machine is locked in error of some sort, and you tried to issue a movement command.

So I am here again asking for an assist.ERROR 0 – STATUS_OK All Good, This is an error code suggesting that there is NO errorĮRROR 1 – STATUS_EXPECTED_COMMAND_LETTER Gcodes should start with a Letter, what ever was just sent to GRBL did notĮRROR 2 – STATUS_BAD_NUMBER_FORMAT The number part of the Gcode was invalidĮRROR 3 – STATUS_INVALID_STATEMENT Usualy a bad GRBL Specific $ instructionĮRROR 4 – STATUS_NEGATIVE_VALUE Negative value received for an expected positive value.ĮRROR 5 – STATUS_SETTING_DISABLED A call to a disabled function was issued – EG you issued $H for homing but your $20 (homing enable) parameter is set to 0 (off)ĮRROR 6 – STATUS_SETTING_STEP_PULSE_MIN Your $0 (step pulse time) is to short, set it back to its default value, $0=10ĮRROR 7 – STATUS_SETTING_READ_FAIL Corrupt EEPROM values, you will need to reconfigure all your $ values as they have been reset to default – this time once you have worked them all out, make a copy! This is a rare error.ĮRROR 8 – STATUS_IDLE_ERROR You have issued a command only allowed when the machine active state is Idle. I tried reflashing it to my Arduino but it wont let me kill the library to re write it. I reset and tried again but now I am getting an "Undefined feed rate error" Issue 2: Tried to move the machine after homing it to get it to zero and I get an "Alarm Lock". The X and Y move and when the limits are held they stop which leads to. Issue 1: The Z axis climbs two half rotations and stops without moving or touching the limit switch. Wiring-wise, the machine will now pay attention to limits but I have run into two major issues different though they may be. SO I hooked it back together to test all three.

I started with an unloaded motor, it will recognize the limit switch. With the help of some awesome people (thank you very much) I managed to fix the issue and have run headlong straight into another. I was originally having issues with a limit switch setup which I posted about earlier.
