How does one wire in a tool length sensor to the blackbox? Is this simply a signal going from low to high? Some of these tool-length sensors have...
The wiring is fine and hasn't changed. I have even tied the cable to the blackbox so that there is no possibility that the connector gets wiggled...
I would like to switch to a mechanical z-touch probe because I just had a failure with the OB XYZ probe where it didn't stop and the bit crashed...
I want to second the problems with the Interface. All my electric components are from OpenBuilds, blackbox, power supply, and Interface, and I am...
After searching for a long time I think I have found them. These appear to be M20-1180042 (gold coated) or M20-1180046 (tin coated). A very...
I want to make a new cable that connects the interface with the BlackBox. Two different Molex connectors are used. I am primarily interested in...
Ok, that did it. G4 P1 was enough to accept the homing command. The dwell does not have to be the duration of the prior movement. One second is...
Ok, no expressions then. The movement now works but it doesn't want the homing command. I am getting "Error 8, '$' command, Not idle". This is the...
But here G Codes it says it does support expressions such as G[2*5] L[1+1].
Just to be precise, the error reads: "Error 2: Numeric Value not valid." This is what I am running: G54 G21 G90 G0 X[50+15] Y[50+380] G1 F200...
Just found an even better solution. I realized that when I turn on the machine the x and y coordinates are set to the maximum x and y specified in...
Ok, let's see if I have this right. I do park my machine with: G21 G90 G53 G0 X-20 Y-380 Z-35 Next time I use the machine, I could then before...
David, your parking suggestion is interesting. However, in my case, since I am storing my machine upright, the parking position in y is about 2/3...
Yes, I did. It did not make a big difference.
That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Is there a way to change the microstepping to 1/4 or 1/2? In the docu I only see how to increase it...
In the profile files for the various machines provided I see acceleration numbers ranging from about 100 - 350 mm/s^2. I am a bit surprised at how...
Is there a way to adjust the homing deceleration? When in the homing cycle the limit switches are activated the motors come to a hard stop. This...
Answering my own question: It appears the machine coordinate system starts at maximum x. Thus I have to use negative coordinates, something like:...
I tried this with G53 but I am getting a GRBL alert that the target exceeds machine limits. I have no idea why. Here is what I do: turn machine...
The gantry doesn't move at least not visibly. The two NEMA23 steppers provide enough holding torque to support the weight of the gantry. I don't...
