Weird because I tried to post a response and got a page that said I couldn’t post because I was blocked and I needed to email the admin of the site to find out why and there was no email address. But when I posted here it was ok. Strange.
Next time it happens, grab a screenshot (we use CloudFlare Anti-spam, but not "blocking" people per-se, it looks at behaviour). Pulled up your log and you switched public IPs in the last 24 hours sometime.
Anyway, I guess I will just have to wait until I am healed up from my back surgery enough to spend the hours figuring out why I am having connection issues with the most recent Ubuntu Linux after a certain CONTROL release. I just can’t do that right now. So I’ll revert back to the older version so I can at least run some simple jobs until then.
Lets continue that discussion in your thread at USB Connection Error when the time comes easier to track a conversation in one thread especially after some time passed, nice to have it all together. Hope you feel better soon.
After rebuilding and setting up a smaIl cnc router for a customer, I picked up a BBX32 for myself, just for tinkering with it and OBcontrol. I've been messing around with Linux and trying OBcontrol on various distributions/installs, and after getting the user permissions set for the port, things seem to be working well. One issue that I haven't figured out though, is that when attempting a firmware upgrade, the port immediately closes (message in console) and nothing happens after that. Reconnecting is needed after that, and it does so just fine. This has been the norm on any distribution, currently with a fresh Arch install. Wondering if there's some package that is not installed that is needed. I did install Python and dependencies etc. at one point, but no change. Just to note, a firmware update does work through Win10. Scott

Will have to dig in, we do try to chmod (add executable permissions) to esptool.py, but we are being denied there for some reason. It used to work, so will need to dig in. Use Windows for now for firmware update Perhaps you can give permissions to the install directory so your user account can work (writable) with the files?
Tried changing permissions, not sure if I did it right. /opt/OpenBuildsCONTROL and all subs were set to rwx for all, but no change.
How do I disable the advertisement splash screen in control and on the interface? I love that both tell me to buy the device they are currently attached to...
Glad you already have them. Those aren't "ads" but just the normal startup splash screens. They change from time to time with seasonal greetings, news, etc
Yesterday I was using the probe and when I was finished with the probe I got distracted and forgot to click the "OK" on the warning to remove the probe. I moved the axes and when I looked at the monitor to my surprise the warning was still there. Should I NOT be able to move the axis until the warning was acted on?
I agree, but should I NOT be able to move the axes until I confirmed? BTW, I wish there was also a warning to put the clip ON before activating the probe! Don't ask me why I say this! Oh well...at least the bit was not expensive.
Hi Perhaps somebody could help out a complete struggling newbie! I have just finished installing a BlkBx x32 on an old Mach 3 cnc router and have just started configuring using OB Control. All axis are moving correctly and as expected. Limit switches are fitted at X - left (min), Y - front (min) Z - top (max). Homing cycle works as expected i.e Z moves to the top, the X moves to left Y moves to front - all with a 5mm pull off. However, once I try to jog the machine I immediately get an alarm saying that soft limits will be exceeded. Max travel has been set at X = 465mm and Y = 900mm. When I check the machine coordinates it reads x = -459.99mm and y = -894.99mm (presumably for the 5mm pull off). I am assuming once the machine has been homed these machine coordinates should read 0,0,0? As do the G54 work coordinates? If I press the reset button on the BlkBx x32 it shows the machine coordinates at 0,0,0 - if I 'Home All' again it reverts back to above. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and I'm sure it's an easy fix when you know what you're doing! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers Can provide serial log if needed.

Front Left should be far-negative (Read through Frequently Asked Questions ) - axis maximas = 0. G54 is whereever it was last set. Re-established with homing, but always a movable origin. Use a Probe or Jog+SetZero buttons to tell the machine where the stock is. Correct, after a reset it's not established where it has, you have to Home first. Not seeing anything obvious in the Grbl Settings (though log format is harder to check through than a Backup from the Grbl Settings tab) Other than that Soft Limits is disabled Lets check 1) Re-enable Soft Limits 2) Reboot the BlackBox (Reset button on front panel) 3) Home the machine 4) Jot down MPos values and post with the log at (6) 5) Execute a jog move 6) and then let's see the log entry of the move (to see what commands where generated and sent) CONTROL calculates allowable soft-limit moves using a combination of Max Travel and current MPos value
Hi Peter So, I have: 1) Re-enable Soft Limits 2) Reboot BlackBox using reset button 3) homed the machine using 'Home All' 4) Positions as follows: X Machine: -459.99mm / X Work: -459.99mm Y Machine: -894.99mm / Y Work: -894.99mm Z Machine: -5.00mm / Z Work: -5.00mm 5) Execute continuous jog move Y+ 6) Log entry as follows: [18:40:10] [ ] error: 15 - Jog target exceeds machine travel. Command ignored. [ $J=G91 G21 Y893.990 F4000 ] [18:40:10] [ ERROR ] error: 15 - Jog target exceeds machine travel. Command ignored. [ $J=G91 G21 Y893.990 F4000 ] [18:40:10] [ $J=G91 G21 Y893.990 F4000 ] error:15 [18:40:54] [ ] GrblHAL 1.1f ['$' or '$HELP' for help] [18:40:55] [ ] ok Hope this helps!
That looks correct, calculated move is less than available machine travel (G91 Y893.990 when you are at -894.99mm will end you up at -1mm - ie just before trigger point of endstop if you forget to lift off the jog button) The firmware complains that move exceeds it (but the math differs). There hasn't been changes to Soft Limits calc in ages, so let me just double check with @terjeio if there is anything grblHAL does differently than how grbl used to do it
I have the same issue on my MKS DLC32. I have turned off soft limits because they don’t work with continuous jog, incremental jog works fine.
I've recently changed the limits handling in grblHAL to allow plugin code to constrain motion. When doing that I subtracted pulloff from max travel in addition to adding it to min, this since grblHAL supports both min and max limit switch inputs. Perhaps not a good idea? It also seems that Control has an issue when calculating the travel distance, it uses a two digit fraction in metric mode (same as displayed in the DRO) when all three digits reported from the controller should be used? An immediate workaround is to let the controller constrain jog commands, enabled by setting $40=1.
Hi I have the openbuilds blackbox controller running on windows 10 laptop, been running fine since I had it, until today, it just will not connect to my laptop, I have reinstalled drivers, reinstalled software, turned everything off (laptop, controller by the switch, 24 power supply to the controller) I have tried to other usb leads it will just not connect. Could it be the usb on the controller itself, if so how do I go about fixing it, not had this more than a year
