The controller is set to require homing before anything else.
Position isn't set yet: home first. The machine hasn't been homed since it was switched on. (Hamrun's reading)
What to do
- Home the machine ($H).
- If it's parked on a limit switch, unlock, jog off the switch, then home.
What users reported CLAIMED · forum and issue reports, not official
- First-run alarm stops on a Genmitsu 4040: the machine wasn't homed, or was parked against a limit switch. Home first, unlock, then check the job. It was the alarm state, not a dead board. r/hobbycnc thread, Jan 2026 (the thread doesn't name the alarm number)
Official FluidNC message: “Unhomed” source
Got a different message?
Paste it into the decoder. Hamrun's editor checks your G-code before you run it, so a toolpath that leaves the machine's travel or a missing feed rate is caught before the machine stops.
