I just finished assembly on my lead 1010 black with the black box. On the initial dry run of the hello world sample, the machine worked perfectly. Seemed slow, but did exactly what it was supposed to do. I did have a problem with homing the machine on Z. It would grind and pop then error out. I could set a zero point for X, Y & Z and it would return to said point. I felt that was a good stopping point so I turned the power off and left it. Came back to it today and powered it up. It will not jog, it thinks it is, but no movement on any Axis. I loaded the hello world sample again and clicked run job. The screen said it was running, but no movement. I am extremely new to this. Any suggestions?
Any red ! lights on the BB near the axis leds? The grinding and popping is an indication of a wiring issue. Troubleshooting steps can be found here: docs:blackbox:faq-identify-motor-coils [OpenBuilds Documentation] Also regarding "seemed slow". The machine profiles are very conservative. Once you get your machine working fine, then you can go in a tweak things like max speed and acceleration. With that said, the slowness was probably programmed into the file.
Also check that $4 Invert Enable = Enabled in Grbl Settings. For it to jog, it needs just two things: $4=1 (Enabled) 24v Power coming in
Ok, I'm very new to this, lol. I didn't see any red lights on the BB. I even tried tripping the limit switch and it didn't alarm.
OpenBuilds CONTROL > grbl settings tab > scroll down to $4. Check that it is set to Enabled Also, check power. Is the fan spinning inside BlackBox (it should, if it doesnt you dont have power going into it) While you are in grbl settings, check, is the Limits Installed switch to the right of the profiles ticked?
Fan in Blackbox spinning? Power LED on BlackBox: On? Red or Green? LED behind logo next to fan in top lid on? Color?
In CONTROL > grbl settings tab. Click Backup Settings button on top toolbar. Open the resulting text file and paste contents here please

Nothing looks out of place, has me stumped to be honest. Speak to http://support.openbuilds.com/support/home please, they should be able to sort you out. Include a link to this thread so they don't ask you to repeat the same troubleshooting
