The Farmbot goes offline (on page my.farmbot.io) when Pi3 and Arduino connected by a USB cable.
Individually, both boards work normally, Pi3 goes online while haven’t connect to the Arduino, and Arduino success move steppers while haven’t connect to the Pi3 (I’m uploadable test sketch for the RAMPS, then I’m again upload firmware for Farmbot).
What could be the problem?
I’m tried different power supplies, USB cables, and Arduino MEGA2560 boards, nothing has changed.
Have you tried connecting with no firmware installed on the Arduino?
Have you tried changing out the stepper drivers?
Now Farmbot goes online (message “Farmbor is online and running” and “RoboFarm-APIK synced!” means that the device is online?), but no control commands for steppers does not work (the motor does not rotate).
If I connect the Arduino to the PC, I see a text meggases in console of Arduino IDE:

Are you able to send other commands? For example can you set Pin13 (the LED) to high? Can you share a picture of your electronics setup?
I have also encountered the same situation, Manual control steppers via https://my.farmbot.io/app/controls, but X,Y,Z motor just Jitter…
Use Marlin code base to verify HW and it’s work.
check your jumpers for the endstops as seen on the picture below. I also had this issue and noticed that I unplugged those earlier. Maybe there was an update which made those necessary for movement.

means that all endstops are 0. So it looks like there are no jumpers, or if you are already using Endstops, they might be connected wrong.
Great tip @Ascend!
The reason why you need the endstop jumpers is because the firmware has the endstops enabled by default. If you don’t actually have physical endstops hooked up to your RAMPS shield, then it is possible for the Arduino to think the endstops are being pressed when they’re not (because they don’t exist). This instructs the Arduino to not move any of the motors because it thinks it is at the end of the tracks or something. The fix is to add the jumpers so that the Arduino knows for sure that the non-existent endstops are not being pressed.
Hope that helps solve your problem.
Good news!! it is workable if added jumpers , Thank you for your help!
