Hello all,
First time in chat, built my low rider 4 (4’ x 2.5’) did the crown, and cut my gantry plates. Last week I leveled my waste board. Today i ghought Id try some engraving, but, yhe machine doesn’t home on Z. It goes down instead of up. But, if I move the Z up by (10 or so) it goes up. I get an alarm stating increasing pull off. As far as I know, I haven’t chanced anything in firmware. What cojld this be. Thank you in advance.

What are you using as a probe / touchplate?
The Gcode is in the milling basics page.
I am using a small pocket ss ruler with a spade connector to wire and an alligator clip for ground wire. It was running great before j leveled ( dressed) the bed.
Homing should be up for the Lowrider, probing should be down.
What spindle are you suing some are extremely electrically noisy.
Is your vac hose grounded?
Okay I just came across a funky esp32. It would not boot right unless I pushed the reboot button after it was powered on.
Try that. Using all the recommended files and UI, power up then hit the reboot button, just to check. Give it 10-15 seconds then try to connect.
Make sure you do not have “auto-connect” selected on any device you own near the esp32.
