    Hi,
    I have a new build and I am having trouble with a few things. My primary issue currently is when I probe, it will only work when I setup the xyz probe with the origin on the rear left corner of a piece of stock. If I place the probe on the foward left corner as I have on other machines, the probe process goes beyond / foward of the probe. Probing also only works with $6=1.

    I also am having troubles with hardlimits, which I assume is a EMI issue, so I changed to softlimits which seems to have solve that problem until I can figure out what the EMI issue is.


    I attached is my gcode setup file.

    Correct for BlackBox X32


    Work through docs:blackbox-x32:faq-emi [OpenBuilds Documentation]


    As for directions:
    Test that machine is setup correctly and complies with Cartesian Standard directions, by using the Jog buttons

    Does X- move the BIT to the LEFT of the STOCK?
    Does X+ move the BIT to the RIGHT of the STOCK?

    Does Y- move the BIT to the FRONT of the STOCK?
    Does Y+ move the BIT to the BACK of the STOCK?

    Does Z- move the BIT towards the STOCK (ie downward)?
    Does Z+ move the BIT away from the STOCK (ie upward)?

    If the answer was NO to any of the above, fix the machine directions in CONTROL > Grbl Settings tab > Direction Invert > Flip the switch of any offending axis

    Then, run the Hello World to do a first shakedown to make sure nothing is mirrored or upside down: docs:blackbox-x32:hello-world [OpenBuilds Documentation]
