Topic: Out of the box and in verification of full function - Pre calibration

Hello.
X axis is funky.
- I found the message about switching the Y and the X axis, to test if the X axis is getting commands.
   - - The X axis is getting commands.
- So I put the X and Y axese back the way they were.
- I then test the X axis again, and it starts to work.  (So I disturbed some insulating oxides? maybe).
-
- When the extruderr head is 10 cm away from the frame, headed toward the other side,
   - - It stops.
      - - - Backing it off a mm works.
        - - - - Going toward the other side by 1/10 of a millimeter stops again, about where it stopped before.
                  So the movement action stops where it stopped before.

Is there another debugging/maint message I can read that explains the action and cure?

James.
