I am trying to use the black box with a Xbee to send g code commands without the usb connected and I was wondering if anyone else was able to do this. So far I have had no luck with being able to do this. The xbee seems to be getting signals however in a terminal window no commands are being sent or read by the black box. Any suggestions?
See the "preparing blackbox" and "connecting blackbox" sections of docs.openbuilds.com/interface - to activate the AUX port. If you have an older BlackBox, upgrading to the latest ones shipping now would be easiest
Is this like version 2 of the box? If so, I didn't see any mentioning in the store about it or what is upgraded. Can you tell us what the upgrades are?
Relevant sections of docs (for this discussion): see docs:interface:prepare-blackbox [OpenBuilds Documentation]
