I have done something wrong, Can not find a post about it.
I tried to program a Macro button for Z probe to touch plate but whatever I did I cannot G
get my LR$4 to move. It is in Idle mode. Attached is the command window at machine power on.

Z will JOG and Home ,Y will JOG and Home , but when I JOG or HOME X stepper motor loses power.

Post details on the macro content. Messages look good.

What exact changes did you make, I can’t see how you could have messed up X homing unless you played with the config file.

Z will JOG and Home ,Y will JOG and Home , but when I JOG or HOME X stepper motor disables / power down.
Where or What do I need to look?

5

Can you tell us what changes you made when trying to make a macro?

I’m guessing you need to reupload a fresh config file

this is what I typed in-
G38.2 Z-200 F200 P0.5 G1 Z10 F100 G38.2 Z-50 F50 P0.5 G1-Z10 F50
I think I typed it in under FluidNC Settings-Config Items- /macros/Macro2.
I agree with uploading Freaash Config file , But having trouble where to start? Do I need to remove what I have or just upload new file?

Upload the new file, it will automatically overwrite the old one.

Bad stepper motor. Changed out and back up and running.
