    Hi I'm new here, I have the blackbox setup on the acro 510 machine using Openbuilds Control & CAM programs. For some reason I get this error msg, nothing moves or functions when I try to move the gantry. Anyone have any clues as to what I could be doing wrong? I have endstops in place too. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I plan on using Lightburn eventually too.

    "Please wait till machine is idle before use", kinda weird?

    Not weird no, Grbl is locked out because either its in Alarm (flashing bell icon? click Clear Alarm) or its waiting on you to Home (click Home All or Unlock)

    A must read is the Grbl Wiki: github.com/gnea/grbl
