Mike,

Seems very odd and I'd almost say a coincidence, not related to the HC. There's little there that can cause that unless somehow the button got physically stuck down. I try to ensure that the buttons are reasonably centered when I assemble them here... not an overly easy task to do on all four of them but I won't let it go out if it I don't see a 'dark ring' around the outer rim of the yellow button cap as I look down in to it. So its unlikely it got stuck.?

What I'd suggest is IF this happens again and you still think it was caused by a button push ... if it is the AZ axis don't panic too much (unless for some reason you are using it without the ability to swing 360°)... and you can do this - unplug the cable to the HC! Does it 'stop'??

If it is the ALT you could reach for the ALT release lever and release it - don't panic again and throw the release lever more than the recommended position for manual operation (i.e. don't throw the lever fully 180° which should only be used if the cable needs to be removed) ... and then unplug the cable. Does it stop?

My suspicion is there is another issue going on and what can cause that generally is the connection from the motor encoder to the back of the ServoCAT. This is not - I repeat not the larger network cable which is in this use the motor power cable since the motor IS running... it is the smaller of the two. Don't mess with it except after talking to me about testing for it. And by all means avoid the usual "I unplugged every cable and re-seated them".. this is the last thing - actually this is one thing I'd NEVER recommend but seems to be a common first thing people try. Doing this might cause more problems. Cables are extremely reliable - I mean a 10th of a percent failure rate if not lower ... any issues are almost always something else - I'm here - contact me and we'll go from there.
