Well I don’t use my mpcnc near enough I went to do some drag knife work and one of my x steppers seemed like it was dead as the far one would move and the one near would not. This was with a g28 command via the tft.
Now it’s weird bc I can go into movement on the tft and it moves freely in either way.
I re did the connector and it does the same thing I also swapped the x’s and it did the same thing.
Has anyone ever had that ?
I also ohm checked the stepped and they are both at 2.9
Whad to you see with
M119
M122
Do all of your endstops work correctly when you walk through them with M119?
Does M122 show any errors?

You’re only showing a couple of the output pages, and are missing the section where the endstop status is displayed (except for Z_Min on page 2)
During homing (G28) when a stepper doesn’t move intermittently, 99% of the time it is because the endstop switch is already in the triggered position (switches are wired NC). This is usually due to an open in the wire at a connection point, often at the connection between the motor wire and the extension cable. Using an s-bend for strain relief can prevent this issue.

I must have plugged in one and stop into the wrong port. You are correct I did have an end stop switch issue. It through me a bit as I saw the lights actuating but didn’t clue in that it was for the wrong axis on one.
Thanks again everyone for all the help !!
