One other thought I had is are you by any chance using a shopvac for dust collection?
They can create a lot of static electricity which can cause the electronics to reset
i am but i don’t always have it on, it just crashes when im trying to get it extended half the time

now that i have replaced the file and values it is extending the belts out wayy farther than normal, any reason you can think why it would start doing that?

Yes! There is a setting for that in Setup → Config. Updating the .yaml file must have reset it back to the default

how far to extend the belts is one of the values in that file.

found it (Maslow_Extend_Dist)

i checked all the connections, the power connections for a few of the motors move more than i would like but i dont think thats the issue because right after when i did a test and everything succeded it still disconnected me, i will paste the serial here for it and keep trying to get it to cut
Maslow-serial (8).log (3.5 KB)
Maslow-serial (10).log (4.3 KB) idek, crashed and restarted when i was jogging the perimeter
crashed when cutting a few seconds in
Maslow-serial (11).log (3.8 KB)
i will say tho after it crashes if it still reads as extended it does quite well at just letting me apply tension and try again

It is good that it is recovering, but we need to figure out why it is crashing in the first place.
None of these log files show anything unexpected, it seems like it’s dying without throwing any error which isn’t something that I’ve seen before.
Is there any way it could be a power issue? Can you try jiggling the cable from the power supply and see if maybe there is a wire lose somewhere in there?

i will try jiggling it and i will try to just connect it straight to the outlet because right now it is on a shared extension cable

I once had similar symptoms, and the problem was a broken wire in the circuit board connector; it was working intermittently. I added some springs to prevent it from breaking at that point.

Maslow-serial (12).log (3.8 KB)i jiggled thencord and plugged it in better but havent noticed anything different yet
it just isnt capable of anything anymore, cant even get it to tension anymore without it crashing over and over again
i might have to try that
This really feels to me like a hardware issue. Something being mechanically wrong feels like what would cause something like this, in particular I’m leaning towards an issue with power somewhere because any other lose wire would report errors in the log and we’re not seeing any.
Can you try without touching the computer to poke and jiggle different parts of the machine and see if you can get it to crash? If we can figure out where physically the issue is we can probably fix it fairly quickly.
If you break anything while poking and moving things around I will happily send you a replacement part ASAP
yea i feel like it has to be something physical because it has just gotten worse and worse with time like something is loosening up more and more, i will run some tests by restarting it and going wire by wire and watching the screen till it disconnects me, but sometimes it will disconnect without anything having to be done but i will do my best to find the source of the issue, and thank you i really appreciate that
