They should be 133.333 according to that. TBH, that seems a bit low, but I’m guessing your machine uses belts and has a reduction pulley setup. If you had lead screws, I’d expect to see around the 200 mark.
It is a screw drive and I tried it both ways 133.333 and 133333.00. I'll try 400 and see if that stops it from freezing up now.
Setting them at Setting them at 200 unlocked them. I'll finish my setup and then calculate the what they should be set at. thanks for the help
Good stuff! For reference, I have a ballscrew on my z axis and that runs at 400. Anyway, at least you are moving now and that should let you calibrate the actual movement.
do not plug in the Interface AND the USB from the PC at the same time. one or the other, since the Interface is desgiend and intended to replace a PC. However, I would use the PC for the initial setup and then use the Interface to run the machine, PC is just much easier for setup.
To whom it may concern: Is there a Beta version of the OpenBuilds Control software that I could test? I enjoy testing software. Regards,
Hello, I got the error you can see on the attached Image. The funny thing is that this is an error of the original SourceRabbit GCode Sender. The code is on Github. gcode-sender/src/sourcerabbit/gcode/sender/Core/CNCController/Connection/ConnectionHandler.java at c20e85f8ce638e0d4e35ace96fedd581413662d3 · SourceRabbit/gcode-sender Is the OpenBuilds Controller using the SourceRabbit's code ?
Is that other app still running on your PC? It comes up right after the API call in the log, so if its still running you were talking to it, not CONTROLs backend (they might be listening on the same ports as us)
No, the other app is not running on my pc... Do you use the SourceRabbit code on Openbuilds control ?
in the background of that error message the GRBL version is displayed as V1.3a Rabbit GRBL for the ESP32 I am pretty sure the since CONTROL is designed and tested to work with GRBL 1.1 on an Uno and grblHAL on an ESP32 that is will not be happy to talk to Rabbit GRBL, whatever thai s.
If he has the firmware, he likely had their software too. That message can't (likely) come from Firmware, so I am still betting on a API process running in background. Per the log just as he sent the job to the backend (thats an http post) the error popped up, so we were probably talking to Rabbit's server running in background during the http post, not the CONTROL/Electron/Express backend

Hi Peter, Could I get access to the BETA version in the meantime, or is the release date soon? Thank you. Regards Gary
I don't think public can view Release drafts on github? https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL/releases/tag/untagged-e2c63844dc9a8b38c9a3 Not sure if you are signed in if that works then
Awesome, looking forward to it, especially to see how fix #308 behaves under Linux. Also, have the team or you had the chance to check if the "remember previously used folder" features is still broken un der linux? cheers
Hi Peter, I was trying to look for https://github.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL/releases/tag/untagged-e2c63844dc9a8b38c9a3 as the link does not take me there directly. Here is a screenshot from Github, could you tell me where the above is located. Thank you.
Suspected it wouldn't be visible. Sorry Please wait for release, still couple final build bugs to resolve

I will test it when I am in the office tomorrow, for now if you need it, can roll back to 370 Releases · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL sorry Is your BlackBox on the wifi though (connect over USB and check the log docs:blackbox-x32:wifi_setup [OpenBuilds Documentation] for WIFI STA ACTIVE)
Please ignore my previous message... I was stupid, the X32 BlackBox was not powered up. My bad... All working fine now. Apologies for the previous message, which is why I deleted it.
Hi, I hope to write in the designated section. I am very happy to use OpenBuilds Control for my CNC powered by BlackBox. However, I would like to modify the postprocessor (Aspire) to indicate in the first lines of code which cutters I should use. I tried to follow the steps indicated in the guide but then Controller gives me an error (it can't read the GRBL code). Can you help me? The error is error 2 numeric value format is not valid or missing (Toolpname fresa a candela) This is the comment in .pp +================================================ + + Block definitions for toolpath output + +================================================ +--------------------------------------------------- + Commands output at the start of the file +--------------------------------------------------- begin HEADER "(Toolname [TOOLNAME])" "(Toolname [TOOL_NOTES])" "(Material Setup)" "(X Min = [XMIN] Y Min = [YMIN] Z Min = [ZMIN])" "(X Max = [XMAX] Y Max = [YMAX] Z Max = [ZMAX])" "(X Length = [XLENGTH])" "(Y Length = [YLENGTH])" "(Z Length = [ZLENGTH])" "T1" "G17" "G21" "G90" "G0[ZH]" "G0[XH][YH]" A thousand thanks!!

I can only guess that you have something in your tool notes that's causing the problem. Probably multiple parentheses which isnt allowed. In other words, if your tool info has parentheses, you need to remove them. Bad: (Toolname Engraving (7.5�, Tip 0.005 - 1/4")) Good: (Toolname Engraving 7.5�, Tip 0.005 - 1/4") Post the gcode file so we can see the issue.
Hi and thanks for the reply. This is one gcode made with the postprocessor modify. I think that i've to delete one of (, correct?
Yes. This line (Toolname Fresa a candela (6 mm 1000 800) PASSATA 2.5 mm) Needs to be (Toolname Fresa a candela 6 mm 1000 800 PASSATA 2.5 mm)
I have a very old computer (MacBook 2,1) which is running Linux Mint 21 and I use it with CNCjs. I use Firefox for CNCjs. I tried OpenBuilds CONTROL but when I upload a gcode file it becomes unresponsive. WebGL is not available so I disabled the 3D view and it's working better. Is there any way to disable the 3D view but keep a 2D top view of the gcode (just to get a preview of the cut to verify it's the correct file)? I don't want realtime position indicator or interactions, just an overview. In CNCjs I get different predefined views of the gcode file. Would that be possible to implement something like this in OB CONTROL?
