Updated to Blackbox x32 and it cant power the interface on its own

Updated to the Blackbox x32 because I was having so many small issues with the original 2 black boxes I tried.

When the interface is plugged into the old blackbox it functions as fine as it ever did which isnt great, but the new one wont let it work at all. It trys to start, the splash screen comes up than it starts doing its bootup and just cycles back to the splash screen with a chirp on repeat.

It doesnt detect a usb stick either in the cycle which is strange because it detects one just fine with the old black box.

I plugged in usb power to it and I can get it to run with the usb c connected and the Blackbox x32 if I cycle the interface on first with just usb power than plug in the blackbox than reset the interface it will work.

Is this how its supposed to be or is the new wire or blackbox defective?


Just to complain a bit replaced 2 limit switches with the x32 controller as well, one on the y axis just died and the x axis lever fell off of the switch.

This machine doesnt get used very often it sits in a climate controlled building and over the years we have done 3 projects with the thing and its on its 3rd black box and 5th limit switch.....
