I just got my PRT alpha up and running today and it seems to work great. I figured I’d read the manual later, making it move in 3 axis was just too much fun. Along the way I hit the space bar – well it said it would stop things, and it did – now I can’t get the #4 light to go off and the system keeps giving me a message that I need to reset the drives. Without going to the manual just yet, does anyone know how to take care of these two problems?

Press the reset button on the side of the control box.
Have fun and be save

Pressing the reset button was my first thought but it didn't seem to solve the problem. I even powered the unit off and when I turned it back on I had the same indications; #4 light and a message to reset the drivers.

Hi Tom
What version of the software do you have , and did you install the firmware ?.
When you want to run the bot turn it and press the reset button first then start the software .

Tom,
Is there any chance that the Emergency Stop button was also pressed? It locks in the pressed position and has to be twisted before it releases.
