    Hi all having trouble with homing my 1515 with blackbox controller
    It starts to home z first which is fine but it keeps going and I have to hit the stop button.
    But the switch works when I move up the z manually any help would be great thanks

    Use the Troubleshooting tab in CONTROL to test your switches. Press the switches by hand, make sure CONTROL shows that Grbl sees them trigger, and also: make sure the correct axis triggers (if you accidentally plugged the Z switch into X for example)

    If they work in testing, they will work in Homing too. Inspect the switch during homing, make sure the switch is depressed correctly, if not adjust the switch position or angle
