    My blackbox is setup to home to front left. (X=0 Y=0). How can I change to home to back instead? Besides moving the microswitch, is there a magic setting that can change this?

    Refer to gnea/grbl

    Have a read through the whole Grbl wiki sometime - it is a goldmine of info

    Thanks, I am a little hesitant to mess with the grbl settings in general as I am afraid I'll break something... the high torque Nema 23 motors are a crazy strong compared to my old machine with "puny" Nema 17....

    That said, I think i found a setting in OpenBuildsControl $23 that lets you invert homing directions... and (after rebooting my laptop) i discovered the little tooltips when you hover over the settings! love it! this is many steps up from my old systems.

    Click Backup button in Control > Grbl Settings just before making changes. Then you can revert at will
