Slipping and Stalling
The device moves smoothly, but only moves for a short time then stops. The Blue LED is flashing but the
device is not actually slipping or stalling.
The internal encoder counter needs to be re-initialized. Reset the device by power cycling it or
sending system reset (T:0) command, then re-initialize it with the home (T:1) command.
Ground the device and avoid operating it under statically noisy environment.
The device makes noise but does not move. The Blue LED is flashing.
The device is stalling.
Try removing all external loads. If the device now extends and retracts normally, the problem is
excessive load. Try to reduce the load and ensure the load is less than the maximum thrust. A higher
thrust or torque can be achieved by lowering the speed of the device using the maxspeed (T:42)
setting.
If a device is stalling with no external load at default speed and acceleration settings then it requires
servicing.
