Dirty magnets?

.......or dodgy sensor......or bad wire connection

 

[Mark C]

Vertical or wire rope markers?
Either the magnet isn’t registering the Reed switch or there is a broken wire somewhere

Take the plug/socket apart on drill could be full of dust!!

can you buy magnets online

No idea probably more chance of being a bad wire or sensor anyway

With both markers up and the magnets close to the Reed switches , if you can advance the sequence by pressing the button on the box then I’d bet a packet of Jammy dodgers That you have a broken wire between the sensor and the junction box.

Reed switch can and do wear out we’ve replaced ours a few times over the years.

Im now getting to stage we’re I’m putting tramlines in first on GPS then just colouring the rest in after

Normally the Reed switches in my experience too. Andrew Guest stocks them and they’re not too expensive. You can get them for 2 or 3 quid from RS but knowing the correct spec is the problem there.

Got these while ago, keep a spare now

No trouble to find lots of magnets online. Finding ones about the right size made take some time. Unless they are obviously broken up or missing, then they are highly unlikely to be the problem.

Think I've a reed switch gone. Tramliner jumps a few steps of it's own accord now and again. But only going 1 direction.
Also can't always move the light on a step, even with marker down.
