    Is there a way to capture my old setting's to the new Blackbox?
    How do I disable limits until I get things dialed in?
    My old home was right rear and BB now wants to home right front.
    Need to reset my hard and soft limits. How? Set up as I originally did when I built the WorkBee - by the book?
    Limit sw's set off alarm that then needs to be canceled. Is that normal?
    I feel so stupid - but I will get this one way or the other.
    Thanks for your help. There will be more ? I'm sure.

    Connect to old controller > Backup Settings from CONTROL > Grbl Settings tab > Backup Settings button on the toolbar

    Plug in new controller > CONTROL > Grbl Settings tab > Restore backup from the button on the toolbar

    Flip the Limit Switches Installed switch on the Grbl Settings tab

    Both these sounds like you didnt load a machine profile (CONTROL > GRBL Settings tab > Select machine from the list > Save and reset when prompted) - or restored a backup as above.
