Hello, I have a lead 1010 and had it working fine for a while. Now, when I connect openbuild control to the cnc, I do hear that it connected but when I want to home it doesn't move. If I tell it to move x axis 10mm z axis moves instead and not normaly. THanks for your time.

There seems to be a serious wiring short somewhere (causing the resets and garbled serial messages) start with checking Limit switch wiring, as its been in use a while loose terminals, chaffed through insulation, etc. Any non-OpenBuilds electronics in use (like a VFD, or not using our Power Supply?) Clean out the inside case of the BlackBox too in case theres any metallic debris (cutting chips) etc in there
HI, Yes I use a VFD but I unpluged it and it does the same thing. Not using the openbuild power supply though... I also tried unpluging the limit switches from the blackbox, didn't help. I will try opening the blackbox to clean it some more as I already have done it with an air compressor. I'll check the motors wire too. Thanks for the help, I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers!
If its a noisy power supply - that the more likely one at this point - you need good clean power to keep things stable. Once is enough - most people forget to do maintenance so usually a pile of chips in there - sometimes people machine aluminum etc
Hello again Today I had everything pluged in exept for the power. I connected to my pc via usb with Openbuilds control, it found the X4 blackbox. I hit the x jogging button and on the openbuild control software, both the x and z numbers started to move... Does that narrow it down to the blackbox? Thanks
Hello Again, I haven't found out what is wrong yet.. Today when I was turnign on and off the blackbox, trying this and that, all 4 leds for the motors went red a few seconds after powering on the blackbox. It happen twice today and has happened before. Any thoughts? Thanks
What power supply are you using? Low voltage docs:blackbox-x32:currentadjustment [OpenBuilds Documentation] (4th bullet point under "Faults that trigger the LED" - and the only one that could affect all drivers at once)
Looks OK, but you'd need to use an oscilloscope to see if it droops on power up when the drivers enable. Being a DIN mount case it might not have a sufficient capacitor bank onboard to deal with the inrush current.
Seeing as these go for an eye watering pricetag, what's the story behind the story on this? I mean, you didn't decide to skip our recommended $69.99 24V Meanwell Power Supply Bundle and then went and bought one for 10x as much - that doesn't add up. So what's the history? Discarded one from work? Surplus "condition unknown" from Ebay? You have undervoltage and EMI issues, both pointing fingers at it.
HI, I bought the 1010 2nd hand, the power supply came with it... Today I tried with a different pc and the openbuild control couldn't find the blackbox. Reading the faq I found out I should try to unplug power and try again. I did and the blackbox was found... A while back, while moving my 1010 which sits on a wheeled frame, the power supply fell to a concrete floor from about 25cm. It all worked fine until now so I didn't think the power supply was the problem... I'll try with another one and let you know. Thanks again for the precious advice and your patience !
Hello, New power supply same problem BUT at my wits end I was looking into the openbuilds control grbl settings tab and for some reason I tried and changed the machine profile from lead 1010 to workbee 1010. Seems to be working fine now, homing ok and I lunched an air milling, ok too. Hope this can be of some help for others... Hi Peter, Update on my troubles. I tried again today with my old power supply, since I figured the power supply wasn't the problem. As it turns out it was indeed the problem. I was able to home and jog around but when I lunched a job it would't do anything. And I noticed my bluetooth mousse dind't work properly... EMI it seems to be with this expensive power supply.
