swapping the axis over
disabling the limits
removing all the motors from the gecko (still does it when running through a program)
messed with the debounce upto 10000
checked all the wiring and connections
disconnected the spindle so it cant be that
All the motors are grounded, shielded, have resistors on.
Any suggestions on what this could be? I have been troubleshooting it for hours and hours with no joy. Could it be a faulty gecko?
You didn't mention how the estop is wired? active high? active low? emulated ? which pin no etc. It is possible that a bad estop switch is being triigerred due to vibrations (if wired in active low)
