    On blackbox x32,
    Is it possible to save multiple wcs?

    Thanks

    You can select a different WCS from the drop-down at the top left of the coordinate display in Control - where it says G54. (I think Control needs to be connected to the BB32 to do this though).

    The X32 runs grblHAL firmware which can make use of the following 9 MCS systems
    - Coordinate System Modes: G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, G59, G59.1, G59.2, G59.3
    as listed at GitHub - grblHAL/core: grblHAL core code and master Wiki

    The Openbuilds fusion360 postprocessor for X32 supports all 9 of them (and 4th axis) , the other OB postprocessor only supports 6 WCS systems, G54-G59

    There are buttons in CONTROL to set the current system, and of course manual commands or Gcode can select any WCS at any time.

    you can see the full list of offsets using the $# command in the serial console
