Been there done that too

Ok new power supply hooked up. I am now able to connect to linuxcnc! Onward and upward (at least until the next hurdle)
Thanks so much everyone.

LOL
I wish i could say you are the first one, but many of us did this at some point in time.

I found my mistake. I was editing the wrong file. . . Please excuse me as I leave.

Thank you very much for your professional responses! I’ve decided to order another board along with a daughter card now to avoid a similar failure in the future. I’ll slowly work on repairing the current board, it will serve as a spare one, or I might sell it later. It seems that delivery across Europe will be quite fast using the link you provided. I’ll update you later on how my board recovery story ends.

In your case, you should have gotten a servo/stepper with brake for Z axis.
It is a hardware feature, so software can not help, but if the loop is closed in LinuxCNC at least it will know the position.
PCW's idea with enabling fast after fault and if loop is closed in LinuxCNC is very good.
As for your question, drive fault will disable the motor in the drive, so nothing LinuxCNC can do about it (except above), and so will LinuxCNC disable everything when it gets a fault error.
