I’ve believe this is a control board problem. Anything I plug in to port CN1 gives me and encoder error. ---

Good deduction, I think that seems right. I will DM you a code for a free replacement right now. I’d recommend getting a new encoder board and a new encoder wire too, just so that you have them in case you need them once the parts come. You sent me an email too, right? ---

Hey Bar, thanks the control board made it. Everything looks good with the new board!!!
