I finally got around to installing my Blackbox X32. I started by disconnecting my old Black Box, plug for plug, from old controller to new, not changing any wires. I updated the firmware on the interface and the new controller. I first connected to the interface, as this is how I plan to run it. It seems to connect fine but, the motors will not jog. They click and hum like they are seized. Yes, everything was purchased from Openbuilds. This makes me wonder if wiring order on the terminals is different for the X32 box? I then tried to connect to my laptop via USB to attempt jogging through Openbuilds Controls. No luck. It won't even connect. I've tried looking through the forums. But am not finding anything that clarifies what's happening. What am I missing?
1) USB issues, - Try with wiring disconnected - shorts can stop it from connecting. Also see docs:blackbox-x32:start [OpenBuilds Documentation] - Also make sure you followed steps 4.1 and 4.2 of the BlackBox docs - Also make sure to follow step 7.1 as there has been firmware updates since they were in the factory 2) Rewiring: Motors and endstops are straight swaps, the Toolhead connector changed format - rewire according to BlackBox X32 docs 3) Motors not spinning - load a machine profile. As you had an old working BlackBox, start by taking a Backup (CONTROL > Grbl Settings > Backup Settings) then restore it onto the new BlackBox (CONTROL > Grbl Settings > Restore Backup > Save > Reset) - The restore tool changes values as needed. Alternatively, you can load a machine profile from either CONTROL or Interface (just make sure to prep the USB drive for Interface with the new version of CONTROL so it has the X32 profiles on the USB) Until you load a machine profile, it won't know what the settings are and can't enable the motors.
