Can one of you point me in the right direction for what each of the Icon meaning in Firecontrol? I have not been able to find a reference. why is my X, Y1 red and Y2 is not. Also I am unable to select Show Machine

The X icon means the X-direction limit switch is activated. The same is true for the Y1 switch. Go to the right top corner and click on the three stacked lines. Then turn off the limit switches, and have a great day. The Y2 switch is either broken or not adjusted correctly.

Is your machine currently in the “homed” position? X and Y1 might indicate they are in their 0.0 limit position.

Perhaps Y2 will light when you hit the extreme limit on the right (if you have “soft limits” enabled).

Most of us, obviously don’t rely on those lights much. I have never looked at them.
