Just really started using grbl and LB. I have the LO z axis table which works fine in smoothie. When I try to get the z axis to move, i get the following error and LB completely locks up.

Starting stream

ALARM:2

On or near line 1:

Stream completed in 0:00

[MSG:Reset to continue]

Only wayI found to continue is close LB and start again.

Here is my configuration:

$0=10

$1=255

$2=0

$3=3

$4=0

$5=1

$6=0

$10=0

$11=0.010

$12=0.002

$13=0

$20=1

$21=0

$22=1

$23=1

$24=50.000

$25=6000.000

$26=250

$27=2.000

$30=1000

$31=0

$32=1

$33=5000.000

$34=0.000

$35=0.000

$36=100.000

$100=160.000

$101=160.000

$102=3200.000

$110=24000.000

$111=24000.000

$112=500.000

$120=2500.000

$121=2500.000

$122=2500.000

$130=300.000

$131=200.000

$132=50.000

$140=0.400

$141=0.600

$142=0.000

ok

It did not work with the original value in $102=160.

I believe the stepper is a 42HS03. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I’m using the version of gbrl download from the cohesion site.

Is this an external stepper driver driving the Z bed, as shown in our Z Table article?

Alarm 2 is machine exceeding travel.

You probably need to change $132 to the z table travel length. Increase the default 50mm to a larger value.

Yes it is with an external driver.

Changing $132 didn’t make a difference. I tried to move the z several times and could occasionally get it to move - not very often but when it did it moved in the wrong direction. Again it works exactly as it always has using smoothie. When it did move using $102=1600 it only moved .5 mm rather than the 1.0mm set.

$0=10

$1=255

$2=0

$3=3

$4=0

$5=1

$6=0

$10=0

$11=0.010

$12=0.002

$13=0

$20=1

$21=0

$22=1

$23=1

$24=50.000

$30=1000

$32=1

$33=5000.000

$34=0.000

$36=100.000

$100=160.000

$101=160.000

$102=1600.000

$110=24000.000

$111=24000.000

$112=300.000

$120=2500.000

$121=2500.000

$122=2500.000

$131=200.000

$132=100.000

$140=0.400

$141=0.600

$142=0.000

ok

+Jim Fong any further ideas? Any more info I can add?

Since you say the Z is going the wrong direction, you need to modify $3 setting to change the direction.

Change $102=3200 to double the distance traveled.
