    Hi -

    I see on the new Blackbox X32, that is mentions it supports core XY. On the previous Blackbox, I believe on had to compile their own firmware to support other modes. For BBX32 (if that is the right shorthand), how is mode set up done? Via OpenBuilds Control or do I need to do some firmware work?

    Thank you.

    Correct, just as before, for very custom machines we would recommend compiling. We'll get the source code up early next week for you.

    Thank you.

    Something I learned about last night was "AWD Core XY". That is, using four steppers, one in each core, for a Core XY and I thought I might try to experiment with that. May not be a popular option yet and so may not have code support.

    At least with GrblHAL the space to expand the codebase is a nice luxury Grbl didn't always afford.
