I'm having some weird issues as of recently with my custom build cnc. it has been working great for a few months now. however, today I went to run a job and I was getting some weird z axis movements at the start of the job that resulted in the tool plunging into the part and breaking the bit. I made a new gcode file with a 50mm offset from the part and got it to work without plunging into the part first. Then I ran the same exact job again and it now...

There’s no issues with timing in the one direction but
It’s very frustrating as I’ve read all posts on here and checked all wiring, swapped driver boards, checked for bent pins. I’m going to test the motor connectors next.

Could this be a motor issue? I’m not entirely sure what black box I have hence the pics. Any advice...

Akll of a sudden, I cannot connect to my Ratrig Stronghold through the blackbox x32 via USB and My Macbook. This has never happened before and before posting this I have tried to follow the instructions recommended on some different but similar threads. I have tried different USB-cables and also disconnecting everything except power and USB. Also, MacOS seems to recognize that there is something connected via USB but nothing can be connected in OB Control.

Please help, this is so...

It was working with a single switch, and the soft and hard limits were enabled in the firmware. Then, I added two additional limit switches for X and Y. I soldered the connections together. They're in parallel per the documentation....

Apologies for adding another CNC setup thread but I'm struggling to get my recent CNC build up and running.

I'm running a blackbox X32.

As it's not an openbuilds machine I've selected custom machine in the openbuilds control software.

I believe I have everything wired correctly (famous last words).

When trying to home, I get Alarm 8. The Z axis moves about 5mm and then stops. Giving me the alarm.
