    Hi All, I am using your x32 blackbox with your xyz probe. When using the probe with your control software the z moves to away from the probe instead of the top of the probe. Is there a way to control the probe direction?

    If your Z axis is reversed, correct it in Grbl Settings. Z+ should raise the tool off the stock, Z- should bring it toward the stock.
