I am unable to enter closed loop position control mode with the drive after motor/encoder calibration. I have tried it through the GUI and through python but no success.
I have 4 motor/drive pairs and only one is giving me trouble at the moment.

What’s the specific error thrown after you try to enter closed loop?
NOT_CALIBRATED is what I get
Something I dont yet understand is that I pass the calibration steps (green check marks) and still cannot go into position control mode:
When I try to enable position control for the axis on the dashboard I get this result:

The dashboard also does not display position for my axis:
I have found my problem…and it was dumb.
I had a loose connection on one of my crimped wires for my absolute encoder - RS485-A connection.
Thank you for all of the help along the way solomon and I apologize for any headaches caused.
Long live ODrive.
Best,
