Cinebot Mini Part Run Stops With D/A Overflow¶

Summary¶

If a Cinebot Mini part run stops at the beginning with a D/A overflow message, distinguish it from a magnet-limit trip. Community guidance says D/A overflow usually means Flair's requested motor output does not match encoder feedback closely enough, often because the track motor/gear is obstructed or a drive sensor/connection is missing.

Symptoms¶

Error appears at the beginning of a Part Run.
Move stops immediately.
Operator is in the middle of track, not on a magnet limit.
Error is D/A overflow, not "tripped by limit."

Community Guidance¶

[LIKELY] Check obstruction, track motor/gear, and drive sensor connection¶

Do not treat this as a magnet limit if the message is D/A overflow.
Check whether the track motor, gear, or drive path is obstructed.
Check the drive motor sensor/encoder connection.
If it appeared after loading a job, try opening a previous known-good job.
Use simple load to bring back waypoints without carrying over suspect setup state.

WhatsApp Excerpts¶

[11/7/2025, 6:44:52 am] ~ Paul Marke: Has anyone had this error before and knows how to fix? It happens at the beginning of a Part Run and stops the move

[11/7/2025, 6:48:55 am] ~ Paul Marke: Using a Cinebot Mini here

[11/7/2025, 6:52:32 am] ~ Mike Greenberg: Did you hit the magnet limit on your track? That would produce that error.

[11/7/2025, 7:00:59 am] ~ Paul Marke: We were just in the middle of the track somewhere, so I don’t think so

[11/7/2025, 7:26:49 am] ~ Simon Wakley: No, that will produce a tripped by limit not a D/A overflow.

[11/7/2025, 7:37:28 am] Timothy Heys Cerchio: Usually happens when something obstructs the Track motor/gear/etc..

D/A overflow means Digital to Analogue where the Digital motor request from Flair does not correspond to an equivalent (within minimum tolerance) Analogue feedback from the Encoder on the motor.

[11/7/2025, 7:39:06 am] ~ David Jeffries: Not sure about the cinebots, but I know it pops up if you forget to plug in the sensor for the drive motor for the bolt 😅.
