    Hello everyone!

    Kinda newbie about the Blackbox and its whole environment.
    Right now I managed to plug and setup everything for the 3D printer and the Blackbox. What I'm missing right now it's the nozzle, that in my plans will be replaced by a Solenoid. So what I'm trying to do now, is to connect directly the solenoid valve to the Blackbox and control it from the OBControl. Is it possible? I've a lot of issues understanding where to plug what, and especially which commands can control the output.

    Thanks for helping me out,
    with love

    Andrea

    The 0-10v is logic signalling only. If you connect that to a solenoid you will damage the Blackbox


    To drive a power solenoid, use the COOLANT output instead: as documented in section 3.7.4 of docs:blackbox-x32:connect-coolant [OpenBuilds Documentation]
