I'd like to work with the BlackBox Controller Relay and Probe Ports. I think I found info that explains the Relay port is toggled On/Off via M3/M5 commands? Also the Delay uses G4. So in theory the G-Code to turn on plasma cutter via relay and pause 1 second would look like this: Some g-code for positioning to X&Y&Z here M3 1000 'Turns on plasma torch G4 P1 'Pause 1 second then continue Now for the probe port on BlackBox. I'd like to know if this is/how this is accomplished with either G-Code or Grbl settings. To use the probe port and detect when the Z-Axis drives down into the work piece and pushes up the mechanism to close the contact on floating head switch. Where are or what are these settings for GRBL and or G-Code to accomplish this etc. Many thanks in advance.
M3S1000 (don't forget the S) yes G4 P1 would pause 1 second yes. However, you'd never hand-write that. Use a CAM - both OpenBuildsCAM and our Fusion 360 post supports the correct touchoff setup Also built-in with our CAM or Fusion post Watch the videos by Dr D Flo for a better overview and and later updates
