    Hello,

    I'm a new owner of a 1015 Workbee CNC. As I'm configuring the Blackbox according to online instructions (docs:interface:prepare-blackbox-v2.7 [OpenBuilds Documentation]), the instructions show images of jumpers and which one should be removed but, and here's my issue, aside from these instructions being easily completed, I'm concerned about the fact that other existing blue jumpers are not located where the images show them to be at. So I decided to move them at the same position as the images rather than leaving them to the way they were when I first opened to box. You should look into this discrepancy.

    No discrepancies. The blue jumper has nothing to do with Interface. See docs:blackbox:jumper-relay [OpenBuilds Documentation]
    Different people will have configured their jumper differently, and you may want to consider putting it a) back where it was or b) read docs.openbuilds.com/blackbox and then decide where the jumper should be based on your specific configuration

    Thank you for the heads up.... I will have to brush up on the possibilities of these different jumper placements and what they will provide.

    The initial setup page?
    - Interface firmware up to date (v1.47)
    - Interface has finished booting and is waiting on the Jog screen?
    - Make sure your phone's wifi is connected to the Interface access point
    - You are typing http://192.168.4.1 into a browser if it doesn't come up automatically

    You need to be fully booted up before you can setup wifi. So refer back to docs.openbuilds.com/interface and prepare and connect your BlackBox first so it can connect to grbl - - the docs is laid out step by step, cannot skip forward :). Step 2 is get it connected, step 3 has Wifi setup (;

    Because OpenBuilds has never sold such a machine? See Machine Bundles - LEAD Machine - OpenBuilds Part Store
    (Definately not going to add profiles for those that do not play by the book either... Buy Genuine, and you'll get the full package of support)
