+ | * ops-serv2 was left off after power works 2 weeks ago. | ||
+ | * **Ho drives:** | ||
+ | * One of the drives can struggle to start. Motor encoder, affecting Y2 drive. | ||
+ | * Might need to start drives (using vdesk), then let it sit for a bit before moving it. | ||
+ | * Can see this looking at camera. Y2 drive current meter doesn't move. | ||
+ | * If it still doesn't work, this is a job for Brett or Warren | ||
