## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Position Overflow
|
||||
|
||||
If during calibration you encounter an error like this:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ValueError: Magnitude 2816 exceeds 2047 (max for sign_bit_index=11)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The firmware may be overflowing and returning incorrect position readings.
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick fix:** Unplug both the AC power and USB cable, then reconnect them. This should give you correct position readings again.
|
||||
|
||||
If the issue persists, reset the positions of the motors:
|
||||
1. Complete the first 4 steps of the motor firmware update process
|
||||
2. Select the *Programming* tab
|
||||
3. Move all joints to the middle of their range
|
||||
4. Click *Offset*
