Been getting a few AI posts, so we want to try to get ahead of this before it becomes an issue. Let's vote on it, and we'll make a rule accordingly.

I have a Creality Ender 3 Max, and I had a successful print yesterday. I went to make another today, and while homing my Z axis, the print head dove into the bed. I opened access to the controller board, and made sure the connector was seated properly at that end as well as at the limit switch. Same results; the print head dove into the bed. I unplugged the Z limit from the controller board and tested the limit at the board side connector with my multimeter, and it opened as expected (normally closed). I ensured the connector was reseated correctly to no avail. The only thing I can figure is the input is messed up. Any thoughts or ideas?

I've been trying for a while to get a strand of WS2812B's to function using an Arduino Nano ESP32, and I thought my circuitry was wrong because no matter what I did, the LEDs wouldn't light up. I tried using a level-shifter. I tried using the sacrificial LED hack, and nothing seemed to work. I read one post on the Arduino forums where a guy was using the wrong number pin in his code (GPIO pin 4 instead of Arduino pin 4). I didn't make this mistake, and I'm sure because I set my pin to go high/low every 3 seconds in order to confirm the level shifter was functioning correctly at one point. One of the replies was encouraging OP to use the Arduino pin numbering instead of the GPIO, but he said

I'm using a slider on a webpage to control a stepper motor, but every time I move the slider, the ESP32 reboots. I don't think it's a memory issue, but I cant figure out what could be causing the issue. Please see the code below:

Serial.print("Free heap memory before: ");
Serial.println(ESP.getFreeHeap());
server.on("/update/speed", HTTP_POST, [](AsyncWebServerRequest *request) {
    Serial.println("Received speed from webpage");
    String speedValue = request->getParam(0)->value();
    motor_speed = speedValue.toInt();
    stepper.setMaxSpeed(motor_speed);
    request->send(200, "text/plain", "Speed updated: " + speedValue);
    Serial.print("Free he

As amazon is a popular resource for buying stuff, I want to give some tips that will make your comment less likely to get auto-removed. From what I'm reading, if your link says "a.co", it can link to affiliate links, so it gets flagged. First step would be not using that type of link. Secondly, make sure you're not using an amazon affiliate link at all. Reddit rules won't allow them. Other than that, we try to approve all the ones that are fine when we see them.

Thanks,

I've seen several posts and comments about GPS orders taking a long time. If you add something to your cart, you'll receive this message:

"Effective Nov 27th Our current lead time is around 2-7 Business Days (Not Weekends) to get orders out. Shipping Transit does not include the 2-7 Day estimated lead time."

Keep this in mind if you're trying to rush to get something put together.
