Black Box controler

Thank you Peter I was actually laying in bed thinking of the exact same thing lo and behold it works but now I can’t get it to recognize the usb flash drive with my files on it. I’ve read through some of the post but haven’t come across any helpful tips yet any pointers

thanks again for all the help, O bye the way I believe it all came down to a loose wire on the X axis and Y axis on the black box side I ran a project yesterday before starting to get the interface it worked just like it supposed to but just need to figure out this USB thing now thanks again for getting me this far

 

Yep, Thanks again Peter for your help with everthing its very much appreciated. I got a email from OpenBuilds there sending me a new interface . On a side note Ive been using Eseal it works for me and what I do. I wouldnt mind giving openbuilds CAM a try but is there a way to keep the thing (work area) from moving around when moving objects aound this is annoying. Ponit me in a direction for reading. Ok Ill let you know what happens with the new interface after I get it hooked up. Thanks

 

Ive made a quick couple vids to show what Im talking about
Eseal and Blackbox CAM - Google Drive
Eseal keps it staionary when moving objects Openbuilds moves the whole area is there any way to keep it from doing this. Nevermind I get ti now after reading CAD (CAD > CAM > CONTROL workflow: docs:softwareverview

Thanks

 

Heres a new one was just running a project when i noticed all of a sudden one of the Y stopped moving looked at the black box had a error code pop up (see pic) and I noticed the fan in the blackbox wasnt moving. lookes like the fan got bent and might need replacing. Would this throw a erroe code if the unit was over heating. I let it cool then reset it and it went back to normal

 

Ok will do thanks

 

Open builds sent me a new controller it works perfectly, also sent me a replacement fan for the black box
Wanted to get you an update on everything. I believe you got me up and running again. I’ll let you know if I continue to have issues. Thanks again for all the pointer and help Peter.

 

I put in a set of spacers on the fan like you suggested but by the time I got it up and running they had already sent the fan

 

I have another question if you don’t mind answering please. Why won’t my usb drive not show up on the interface it formatted correctly FAT32 the little usb that comes with the unit registers but not my personal one I read the instructions on the interface usb but couldn’t find a reason the usb show up on my Mac and my windows computers so I know it’s readable
Thanks

 

What's the max USB size allowed Ill order a new one from Amazon today. Thanks

 

Say Peter just though Ide give you a update sense you were so kind to help me out.
Everything seams to be running very smoothly now. Haven't had any issues at all sense the fix. I getting ready to rebuild the Gantry part. I noticed that sense my rig is built out of wood. it flexes a bit 2 much when plunging. So I purchased a C-Bean Gantry and plate setup all the goodies to make it work and going to mount that setup here next weekend.

Thanks again,
Jerry T.
