Get help from the community with Mach4, setup, operation, and general machine issues. Post details about your problem, share screenshots or videos when possible, and work through solutions together.

### Troubleshooting & Community Support — Rules

1. **One issue per post**  
Please keep each thread focused on a single issue to make troubleshooting easier and easier to search later.

2. **Include system details**  
When posting, include:

- Machine model

- Mach4 profile (Inch/Metric)

- Software version (or update date)

- Controller type (if applicable)

1. **Explain the problem clearly**  
Describe:

- What you expected to happen

- What actually happened

- When the issue started (first day, after update, after wiring change, etc.)

1. **List what you already tried**  
This helps avoid repeated suggestions and speeds up the process.

2. **Provide proof whenever possible**  
Include at least one of the following:

- Screenshot of the error message

- Short video of the issue

- Alarm/log text

- Snippet of the G-code around where it fails

1. **Safety first**  
If anything moves unexpectedly or seems unsafe:

- Hit **E-Stop**

- Stop testing immediately

- Do not bypass safety devices to “see what happens”

1. **Be respectful and constructive**  
No shaming or hostile replies. Everyone is here to learn and improve.

2. **Mark solved + share the fix**  
If your issue is resolved, please reply with what fixed it and mark the solution if available.

3. **Search before posting**  
Try searching the forum first. If your issue has already been discussed, add your details to that thread instead of starting a duplicate.
