Hi All,
I recently finished building the Lowrider v4 with Jackpot V1 (ordered from v1e).
When I try to home the machine and then move it using manual G-codes, I get a soft limit alarm. After homing Z, I use the following G-codes:
G21
G91
G94
G1 Z-1 F200
And I get a soft limit alarm. The same happens on both axes. I think I might have misconfigured something because this was working fine earlier. I’ve tried using different Z values (e.g., -50), but I keep getting the soft limit alarm. However, I can still move the machine using the web UI (after reboot the jackpot), but these G-codes don’t work.
I made changes in the config to set the X and Y soft limits, and also turned on all hard limits. Nothing else has been changed.
- Could someone give me some guidance on what the problem could be?
- Also, when I get this soft limit alarm I can not do anything. I can’t reset it; I have to switch the Jackpot off and on again. Is there a better way to handle this? (this is a general problem, that I can’t use the webui after any alarm, even if I push the Clear Alarm icon/button)

Why I turned on hard limits**:** I made a mistake. I homed Z, then I wanted to move it down, but I entered the wrong G-code: G0 Z60. I forgot the minus sign, so it started moving up instead. The part that holds the Z limit switches was not tight, and the whole beam somehow went past them. It made a bad sound. I cut the strut, assembled it, and after that, I decided to turn on the hard limits so it can’t go past those switches. My soft limit problem appeared sometime after this. (Also, I’m worried that the coupler may have come loose or slipped out of place, but verifying this would require fully disassembling the motor, which I haven’t done.)
Thank You For Your Help
