1. Just checked all 3 stepper motors for shorts or bad windings - none found. Found a good video showing how to check by using an LED. Also went...
I'm not using the 16 ft USB cable (yet). I'll be sure to keep an eye on it if I do. Once this machine is running reliably, I plan to move it...
Dell Precision test run: 1. Turned on power to Blackbox, plugged in USB from box to laptop. Immediately noticed repeated clicks from the...
I also went out to simply try running it again. I started up the computer (mac), turned on power to the electrical control items - Black box, OB...
Here’s ok, no problem I have only been using the signal wire, with ground and V+ not connected to anything. How would you hook this up so as...
no, I am not using the OB probe. I am clipping the signal wire from the probe wiring to the workpiece. Since the machine is grounded and...
A couple things to note before I can try a windows omputer- The control version is 1.0.311 and it appears that 1.0.312 is where the Mac...
No, it doesn't appear so. I am using v1.0.311
I don’t position over the stock for an x/y/z probe cycle. I position it over the bottom left corner, exactly like the picture. This is not the...
Of the one or two times that probing did work properly, I simply rotate the spindle by hand so that it isn't touching off in the open space...
Why has the title of my thread been changed to "Initial set up assistance"? This is not an initial set up problem!
Is it possible that an EMI spike could scramble the EEPROM in some way? EMI as the root cause seems like the most reasonable and plausible...
I was the source of the alarm - I have initiated aborts when its clear that the the probe cycle is not registering a touch or when it randomly...
I have reviewed it. The issues are present with the VFD turned off at the panel.
What the **** is wrong with this software and blackbox? Seriously? I can't afford to blow through $100 bits because this **** hasn't had all of...
Even more lovely surprises... I had to re-home the machine, reset the controller to register the change. I jogged back to set up for probing,...
I can't even unlock the alarm from the abort. Again, no sources for EMI present.
Not sure what is going on here, but has anyone experienced issues with their steppers continuing to run when they shouldn't, or, not running when...
And now my machine zeros to the WCS down the center of the part and not the corner.
I think it is EMI. I just created a new tool path program to pick up where the last program stopped. I didn't change anything except for the...
