    Has anyone here built a C-Beam XL with Blackbox Controller?
    I am trying to find out many of the 2, 3 and 4 pin connectors that I need. I have Home Switches, IoT Switch and the Powercase 24V Power Supply already and I'm coming over from Mach3 and UCCNC after burning out my Gecko Drives. Also to limit any EMI I will be using Shielded Stepper Motor Wiring as well as Shielded Limit and Power Cables. The parts store as everyone knows sells Individual Connectors and not Packages of Connectors that are Machine Specific. I've got enough invested in this machine now and don't need to waste hard earned money on parts I don't need.

    BlackBox comes with connectors preinstalled, you only need extras if you want to make up wire extensions

    I fully understand that, what I would like to know is which ones and how many.

    See docs:blackbox:layout [OpenBuilds Documentation] for an overview of all the ports, alsohttps://docs.openbuilds.com/lib/exe/detail.php?id=docs%3Ablackbox%3Aassemblyinstructions&media=docs:blackbox:1.png
    And the rest of docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox > Section 3 deals with all the possible wiring scenarios, you plan around what you need.
