    Hi All
    I have am issue.
    I keep getting the red lights coming on and the axis stop moving.
    From yesterday everything worked fine in terms of movement, it homed and all axes moved in the correct direction.
    Today I switch on and red lights come on the black box.

    I changed vfd setting according the video on here.

    Why will this thing not just work?

    See docs:blackbox-x32:currentadjustment [OpenBuilds Documentation] - fault indicators are discussed in 2nd half of page.

    Skipped current settings step during initial setup? Wiring error causing short? Environment too hot / ventilation blocked / fan not spinning causing overheating? Using non-openbuilds motors with incorrect electrical specs causing overcurrent condition? Not using our recommended Meanwell power supply, causing undervolt problems?

    Depends which of the causes / possible 3rd party parts as mentioned it ends up being, to make that call, you'd have to -help narrow down a bit by answering those questions :)
