    I have recently assembled an OB system consisting of a Blackbox, Interface, and XYZ Probe Plus. I disabled the USB connection in the BB as per directions upon installation of the Interface. I have finally come to the point where I should be able to run a job. However, when I position the router bit over the xyz probe and attempt to run the probe routine the controller immediately positions the machine in an all home and shows an error alarm.

    First, make sure your machine is set up correctly first. Run the Hello World example docs:blackbox:hello-world [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    Any incorrect axis directions, incorrect steps per mm, forgetting to load machine profile, incorrectly set up homing etc will result in weird moves later on, so make sure it's all moving, homing and working accurately and in the correct orientations first
