Thanks, Bar, for the constructive feedback! It’s really encouraging to see how you and the community are dedicated to improving the Maslow (amazing work building this community! ).
The log for the “unable to extend” issue is quite short and doesn’t show any warnings or errors:

The encoder connectors (UTP cables) have all been cleaned with compressed air and glued into place.
In response to your reply in my original thread (Unable to jog after calibration - #2 by bar), my next step was to perform a new calibration, but that led to this post (connection troubles, unable to extend).
There are multiple issues (see the list in the previous post) that might be related or caused by the same underlying problem. Let’s tackle them one by one, starting with the “extend all” issue, since it’s currently blocking further tests.
I’ll focus on the Setup → Test and repeat the retract/extend steps a few times. I’ll get back to you with any findings.
