Blackbox X32 - connects, will not function in Lightburn

rauschk1309 · April 26, 2024, 8:12pm

Hello group… Im sure someone has come across this and I am just not finding it in the forum. Just finished building an Acro1015 machine with the X32 Blackbox. Tested everything in Openbuilds control and it was flawless. I went into Lightburn, it did not automatically find machine so I set it up manually. Once it connects to the Port it shows GrblHAL 1.1f and is giving me a failed to initialize SD card warning.

The machine will not move, will not home. You can hear the motor engage when the COM4 connects but that is it. I am currently on Lightburn 1.4.04, not sure if this is creating some of the connection issue.

It appears you are connected. There is no SD card in Lightburn, so it has nothing to do with this error. I suspect the error is what is keeping your machine from responding to Lightburn. The startup procedure for the laser has not completed.

Try another SD card, or reseat the current one?

The SD card error is from the BlackBox. It should definitely have an SD card in it. Mine came with it. But before you can use your machine with LightBurn, you need to select correct GRBL profile. I use OpenBuilds LEAD 1010 as the laser machine, so I use their CONTROL utility to select “OpenBuilds LEAD 1010 with LaserModule” before I can use the LightBurn.

Also, LightBurn 1.5 works significantly better than 1.4, so you may consider an update.
