Repeated Trip Clears After Re-engage / Restarts / Known-Good Job

Summary

Some repeated trip/error states clear after multiple disengage/re-engage cycles, several restarts, or loading a previous known-good job. This is not a root cause; it is a field recovery pattern for when the rig is blocked and the error appears to be stale job/setup state rather than a clear mechanical fault.

Symptoms

  • Repeated error/trip after restarting.
  • Operator asks for an easy troubleshooting path.
  • No single mechanical or network cause is identified in chat.

Community Guidance

[LIKELY] Try re-engage cycles, restart, then load a known-good job

2025-09-15 — Michael deAnthony / Tom D / Timothy Heys Cerchio

  1. Disengage and re-engage, more than once if safe.
  2. Restart the system if re-engage does not clear it.
  3. Load a previous job known to work.
  4. If the known-good job clears the error, simple-load the current job's waypoints back in rather than carrying over suspect setup state.

The reporter confirmed it was solved after several restarts; Timothy Heys Cerchio also suggested disengaging and re-engaging a couple of times as the first double-check.

Caution

Do not use this recovery pattern to bypass a clear mechanical obstruction, E-stop fault, cable fault, or drive trip. If the same error returns, escalate with a report and the original screenshot.
