Position out of reach

After assembling and testing (encoders,limit switches etc..) the ar4 is able to move each of its motors fully without any problems. but when i try to jog the x,z,y directions i get the error position out of reach, this also happens whenever i try to teach it a position or call a program(only the programs home and rest work for some reason??).

after full callibration of the ar4 the error will still show up

i hope its just a button a missed, but i cant seem to find it.

any help is very apreciated and with thanks in advance

what do i use

-

ar4 full build kit

-

ar4 software V4.4 (also tested with V5.0)

-

teensy sketch V4.4 (also tested with V5.0)

I am getting something similar. I’ve been able to avoid it by moving the robot away from the homing position using joint moves. I think J4 can’t decide which way to go and sometimes moves too far triggering the out of position error.

Maybe try jogging the joints to a random position and then try to jog the x,y.z axis
