    Re: Troubleshooting Help with ClearPath Servo ESS w/MB3 Controller

    A little update. I changed HLFB to just say the servo was ready for all four. Then I started cutting and realized I had set retraction way too high in my toolpath so I hit stop. When I came back and was ready to cut the updated file Z was not working again. This time I connected my laptop to the servo. The attached pictures are what it was showing me and the LED on top was yellow and slowly blinking. I wasn’t able to make the servo do anything from the Clearpath software until I unplugged the control cable this time, I did that first instead of power, and the servo came online with a green LED and I could move it again.
