Hello Skooter,
I swapped the cables and the ARM to another cabinet(controller) and it worked perfect. the issues remains in the cabinet somewhere. Axis 1 2 and 3 still work when moving them with the pendent just not axis 4, 5 and 6... AND still the release buttons do not work.
Interesting thing. I wanted to test the resistors and I think the bottom wire was a bit loose. I pushed it in snugging it up and all axis now move!! YAY. BUT I now get a new error 20252 (over temp in motors to manipulator)
so strange.
