Hi, Wildcard;
I can't believe that I am so unobservant. I tried what you said, and that didn't work, but I finally noticed something, The Z axis wouldn't go down at all, so I pushed it down. I wondered why it wouldn't move downward, so instead of hitting its tab while watching the carriage, I watched the monitor of my computer. Surprise, the only places that are highlighted are the vertical axis for the +Z and the highlighted area for the Y axis home! Unless I hit home, the only place that sends a signal appears to be the Y axis. The gray segments for how far to move darken in the -X quadrant but the circle saying how far is lighted in the Y axis! I feel like a total dummy.I was able to move the Z axis with commands, but it moved very slowly, like it was binding, but it is free when not under power.
I went back and looked at the video, and you can see how the Y axis is being asked to move in spite of hitting the X axis tab.
Any ideas about what could cause this in Pronterface?.
Thanks for your great suggestions.
