All stuffed in title.  Booted, waited a good ten mins.  Printer console says all is happy, rotary dial only works for press, not rotary.  With USB printer takes commands from pronterface and works....

What firmware do you currently have installed on your printer?

I have 3.10.1, but the issue appears to be the einsy/rambo board itself.  I removed Rpi, and I have the same issue now with selector switch.  Works for press but the rotary function is dead.  I pulled the ribbon cables and tested pin to pin, they all tested fine, reinstalled and same issue.  I removed every connection from board and reconnected in case insert/removing Rpi might have knocked something loose, but no effect. 

It's under warranty but I don't know if it's covered since it occurred after installing Rpi.

Update.  I went ahead and ordered a new einsy rambo from a vendor (Prusa currently out of the 3s+).   Followed the Pi4 instructions and all seems good there, just waiting on the new board as I have a plethora of other issues due to the board issues.  From the experience, I'd recommend going the USB pi4 route.  This is completely my fault, only one useable hand and it's very shaky, should have handed the soldering off to someone else, even though I can't see it, I'm sure I've shorted a pin.   It's avoidable with the USB pi4 solution.
