Have you got a NC switch connected? If not it will see it as a door being open. You can't connect to Wi-Fi with the USB plugged in. Which spindle are you using and which method are you using to control the spindle, the firmware is different for a RS485 connection. I am sure I am using the NO firmware though??

Hi @spydercnc , thanks for the quick support.
The limit switch should be correctly wired (over C and NC pins), tomorrow I can re-check the wiring and posting some pictures.
The tests with USB and wifi connection were made separately, I have not connected USB and wifi together.
The spindle is a 2.2KW water cooled and I was trying to connect by RS485, maybe this is the problem.
The firmware update (made using web UI) was smooth, but as I said I am currently not able to obtain any response from the board
In summary the first things I have to check are the wiring of limit switches and firmware for the spindle, right?
Not the limit switches that may be the issue but the door switch and emergency switch needs to be NO. To use the RS 485 see this: Setting up the CNC xPRO V5 1) Install the latest firmware a. For Normally Open Door Switches (or no door switch): xProV5/CNCxPROv5_XYYZ_NO.bin at main · Spark-Concepts/xPro-V5 (github.com) b. For Normally Closed Door Switches: xPro-V5/CNCxPROv5_XYYZ_NC.bin at main · SparkConcepts/xPro-V5 (github.com) c. Load using these directions: Checking_firmware_and_upgrading · Spark-Concepts/xProV5 Wiki (github.com)
Oh sorry for my misunderstanding, I was thinking to limit switches, not to the door and emergency stop, tomorrow I'll check them and I'll fix the firmware.
Thank you very much.
@spydercnc Thank you very much for the support, I found my error: I assumed to have NO emergency stop, but today I re-opened it and I found it is a NC. Flashing the CNCxPROv5_XYYZ_NC.bin firrmware I am now able to dialog with the board.
For now all seems to work as expected except for the second Y stepper: it seems there is a "delay" between the two Y steppers, one starts before the other. I have to dig it deeper, anyhow I am closing this issue (if I'll not be able to understand what is happening with the Y steppers I'll look for help).
Thank you again, Stefano
Hi all,
I am trying to use a CNC xpro v5 controller (bought for a queenbee pro CNC), but I am failing (probably due to my inexperience). The board starts correctly, it creates its own WLAN and I am able to connect both directly via USB cable and also by wifi connection to its WLAN. However, neither with CNCJS (via USB) nor with its own web GUI (via wifi) I am able to obtain any response : the connection with the board seems to happen right, but I am not able to run any command (homing, jog, etc...), even the console seems to be unresponsive (sending $i or $S for example returns no answer).
I am able to obtain a response only by pressing the physical reset button on the board: when I press the reset button I read in the console that the drivers are fine and the Z stepper tries to turn for a short while (with some noise), but after that I am still with a totally unresponsive board.
I have updated the firmware to the last one (NC version).
Can someone help me to debug this situation? Without communicating with the board I am not able to understand what is going on (e.g. if there is a wiring issue).
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, Stefano
