    I am new to OpenBuilds and am trying to set up a LEAD 1010. I am running into an issue where, if I have the spindle on, the steppers (Nema23s) don't step (whether I'm jogging or running Gcode). They resume stepping when the spindle is off, but have lost whatever steps were taken during the time the spindle was on. I am using OpenBuilds CONTROL, Black Box, and the spindle power control seems to just be labelled "DigitalLoggers.com". I have min/max spindle speed as 0 and 1000 in GRBL settings, but the guy I bought it from said it is not variable speed, so I am unsure if I am missing a setting somewhere to indicate that.

    Any chance you accidentally thought the Dataloggers IoT relay is a power strip and plugged the 24v psu into that, instead of the wall? Only the router plugs into the IoT relay.

    That was exactly the problem. Darn n00bs. :) Thanks so much for your quick reply. I just successfully made sawdust.
