    Last night I finished a job and all worked perfectly, but not this morning.
    TinyG connects and accepts G20 command
    However, as soon as SetG54zero or a “move to” coordinate is initiated TinuG resets to MM, motors don’t move, but they will energize with a lightning command.
    Problem with the TinyG Short Video
    Could you guys help me to resolve this issue?
    Thank you!

    Looks like this TinyG is done for.
    I tested it and there are no power on three motors.
    It is a second board that become a waste of time and money.
    If you ask me I will not spend my money on TinyG ever again.
    Why would I? Not only this product has no meaningful warranty, it also impossible to repair and at $130X2=$260 I could-of got a better solution already.

    My first suggestion would be to repeat what you tried to do in your video using the Serial Port COnsole Command Line, directly entering the commands, or try CoolTerm

    Your results are certainly not typical of tinyG users, but your methods of movement (from video) use some rather recent enhancements of ChiliPeppr.

    If you wish to pursue, A dump of your tinyG parameters would help, put in a Cloud folder with a URL.

    Suggesting to a customer to fix the equipment or to try to find the cause of an issue is in fact bad business model IMHO. This board is not even three month old and as I mentioned previously it is my second one because the first one puked on motor 4 port. All I know I will not waste my time anymore trying to cloud folder and parameters dump and oscilloscope or to fight with gcode beacuse TinyG lost serial port in the middle of a job. or a motor port simply quits never to come back etc.
    There is an old saying – scrooge will pay twice. Yeas, it is about me, I was hopping to have this simple and relatively inexpensive solution which tuned out to be a time and money consuming monster.
