Using close loop Encoder for Nema 23

[JlunaMX]

Hey Guys. I am kind of lost with this situation where I am using MKS servo 57C for my 4 Nema motor to work simultaneously and does not lose track when printing. (For this set up I am using a Break Out expansion)

whats happening is that I am getting an error/message saying "magnet is lost" and I am not sure why is saying.

I double checked all my wring and it seems to be connected correctly and also I checked my settings for this kind of set up.

I am gonna share with you my config.g so you guys see it and can provide me with feedback.

@JlunaMX It looks, like you have to mount the boards on the back of the stepper and put a small magnet on the rear end of the motor-shaft?
If the distance to the magnet is too big or is missing, you will get this error message.

@JlunaMX Yes, you need to attach a magnet to the stepper motor and mount the boards on the back of the stepper motors with the correct spacing.

THIS DOCUMENT talks about how to attach the magnet to the back of the stepper motor.

@alankilian thank you guys it worked!!!

[JlunaMX]

@o_lampe It worked out!! thank you!!
