    I m brand new with my blackbox x32. I got a upgraded x carve machine. My problem is when I use the xyz probe my y axis always go to the middle of machine and try to probe there instead of where the piece is. Is someone know how to fix this

    always home first, then
    I would jog to near where the material zero will be and use the setZero buttons to set the zeros there.
    After that I would probe for the accurate zero position on the material.

    oh, and do confirm that the axes are moving in the correct directions, tool right for X+, tool away for Y+, and tool up for Z+

    Other than probing machine working fine? Did you go through the GrblHAL settings and set it all up? Movement distance (steps per mm) and directions etc not incorrect perhaps causing it to move off far away from expected positions around plate?
