BlackBox Motion Control System Alex.
It will probably say Atmega328 (or Atmega2560) the number and any letters after it might matter if you decide to try re-flashing with an earlier...
I couldn't see from your pic - see if you can determine exactly what chip you have on that board. Re-flashing grbl can be a problem with some chip...
Stretching my grbl expertise to breaking point with that @Ron Smith - I see you disabled hard limits which I was going to suggest. I'll tag @Peter...
A (well built) leadscrew machine using V-slot should be capable of +/- 0.1mm which is certainly accurate enough for woodwork projects and probably...
Your decision probably comes down to cost and time. Openbuilds machines like the Lead and Workbee are capable (as are the C-beam and Sphinx) and...
Try increasing $27 (pull off distance) to (say) 10 - you can always reduce it again later if it solves the problem. Don't forget to reset...
Hi @Joe Calvaresi, I just read back through the whole thread and noticed that you said that when you checked the coils with your multimeter the...
As @Peter Van Der Walt said the random changes of direction are down to a bad connection (usually only one out of four) - often wiring between...
Why have you wired your Y motors differently from your X and Z? What happens when they are wired the same? Alex.
Your stepper motors basically have two coils of wire. Two of your wires are connected to each end of a coil. Use the resistance setting to...
The blackbox has (very good) stepper motor drivers built in. It has been designed to be as easy to set up and use as possible.:thumbsup: Alex.
Thanks @Peter Van Der Walt, I will have a go at that next time I post a link. Alex.
I'm old Bats - other people manage to quote links like that very concisely but I haven't worked out how they do it yet! :p:rolleyes:;) Alex.
And don't forget when designing an enclosure that you will need to get all around your machine at times for adjustment/maintenance. Alex.
Yes it is a good resource - well worth reading all of it (and bookmarking the link) Alex.
You need to change $23. See https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Grbl-v1.1-Configuration&usg=AOvVaw0Qv75ELfQOjQy5zl0eMkkX This is the relevant...
In that case you just need a set of rollers or a take-off table on the outfeed side. Alex.
Sorry, my bad, the blackbox docs show the crocodile clip attached to signal, probe plate to ground. If the probe is triggering when the Croc clip...
1) have you wired ground to the crocodile clip? 2) if not you should do 3) but, if that's the problem it may be that you have a ground connection...
