Hello,  
Have you checked the belt tension and whether the stepper motor is free to move?

Yes its at the right tension , Ive been told to check the sensorless homing and for X its 86 just like my other SV06 which has no issues !! They said reduce it to 70 and work up with increments of 10 , which I do , but its the same , when I go back to sensorless settings its back to 86 again !! And ofcourse still crashing !

Glad you got it sorted!

Just curious… You’re running stock (Marlin) firmware?

Octoprint will give you WiFi connectivity.

Need a dedicated PC though… I ran it as a stand alone platform on an old laptop with a busted screen. You said you had a SonicPad. It MIGHT be possible to install Octoprint on a SonicPad and use it as a “gateway” for a Marlin printer. I don’t know if it can be done.
