    Tools and Utils > Interface Settings > Units


    You mean error says Probe file not found? Remember to prepare the USB Drive: Section 3.3 of docs:interface:start [OpenBuilds Documentation]


    Grbl has around 40 different errors Grbl v1.1 Interface · gnea/grbl Wiki - please provide the exact wording for assistance

    Check cable between Interface and BlackBox for damage, unseated connector pins, forgot to switch on BlackBox, forgot to unplug the USB cable, etc

    Then your GCODE contains invalid characters. Make sure you are using the correct CAM/Post Processor and also ensure it is up to date

    Update to v1.52 dated May 2022 please
