Thank you, Misterg,

As always, it is highly helpful.

 

Are schematics available for the Blackbox x32?

 

Nothing in particular. Just an EE being curious at this point. I always find it helpful to be able to see what is going on under the hood.

 

I saw the Blackbox x32 has support for SD cards but I don't see a slot on the box itself, how does it work?
I've been thinking of upgrading my x4 BB to the newer one for the wifi support, but was keen to store files locally on the device incase of network interruptions.

Found the image showing it! my apologies. 1 more question though, I see the interface plug is a RJ45 now, I have the old Dupont style plug with x4 currently, do all x32 Blackboxes come with a new cable for the interface or is there somewhere I can buy one?

 

I encountered a problem with X32 on my cnc. Previously it was managed by a 4X, i could launch a job from Interface.
Now, all is connected on the 32X, if a try to launch a job, i receive error messages (EMI interferences). If i disconnect the spindle, no errors, but of course i cant do the job
I managed the wires, installed ferrites, all is correctly grounded, but no way. The same job can be managed from computer without errors.
I had no problems of EMI with 4X, so why now with the X32 ? Something to do to prevent this problem ?

 

As @Peter Van Der Walt said, plus VFD to spindle cable as far away from other electronics as possible?

Alex.

 

Peter, problem solved. EMI where maybe one of the cause, but in fact the cable to connect Interface was buggy. The 'phone' side was not correctly inserted into the plug, and i had noisy signals.
So i made a plug to be able to connect the cable for the BB 4X and it works perfectly.
I couldt find in the store the cable BBX32 to Interface, anyway to buy one somewhere ?

 

Thank you Peter, i made it, merry christmas !

 

Hello Baroudeur, I have the same type of issues and as much I would do, I keep on having the same problem.
I cannot run any job at all!! I would like to try your solution, who knows...
How can I do it? Can you explain in detail how can I make the new wiring, sealing and reconnect to the right ports?
I would appreciate very much, I'm desperate.
Thank you

 

Ok, thank you Peter
I've already picked a ticket.
I have done everything Open Builds suggests about EMI: Metal case, grounding, shielded cables, ferrites, distance..... I don't know what else I can do to run a simple job, little one...
Thanks

 

I received your message, look at this [link removed]

 

Thanks Baroudeur, I appreciate

 

Hello there good people!
is there a 3D model for the Black box X32?
I searched in several places of this website and the GrabCAD page but I could not find anything.
Im building a product and we're considering using one on it.
If there isnt one, perhaps someone could provide me with the mechanical dimensions?
That way I could at least use a correctly sized box in the CAD model of our product.
Thanks for your help!

 

What spindle setting do i choose for the blackbox x32 in the grblhal webbuilder?

 

That was quick.. Thanks
can i use the door sensor as a separate input? for a tool length "endstop" or so. in ioSender
Ganged Y if i have 2 y motors?

 

Gotcha. I need both probe port (for a 3d touch probe) and the door endstop for the tool length sensor. need to look into that then.

 

Thanks. Ill do it that way then.

I successfully flashes grblhal onto it now and i wanted to start the spindle with iosender but nothing is happening. Did i miss anything? The blackbox is connected to the vfd with a 0-10V cable
