    Using the openbuilds xyz probe and a blackbox. The green light will light on the probe and the blackbox but I can not proceed from there?

    VFD spindle?
    Lights up all the time or only when magnet is clipped to collet?
    Wired as per httpsdocs.openbuilds.com/xyzprobe correctly?

    Lights up when the magnet is clipped to the collet and I touch the bit to the probe as instructed, yes it is wired per the docs. not using a VDF spindle. I never get the Waiting for the probe circuit confirmation light up to continue.

    What software are you using? We don't have those in CONTROL? In CONTROL, you click Confirm Probe Position to confirm you are happy. None of our standard instructions tell you to lift plate?

    gSender is what I normally use but I have also tried in Control and it will work either.

    OK well lets use CONTROL to test as we don't know or support others

    1) Did you follow all the steps when setting up your BlackBox? (Didn't maybe skip step 7.1?) docs:blackbox-x32:firmware [OpenBuilds Documentation]
    2) Does the Troubleshooting Tab in CONTROL reflect correct states (Always OFF until you lift plate up to touch bit)
