Anybody ever see this? This was during my surfacing procedure. While we’re on the topic of surfacing, has the mac version of the software been fixed? Thanks.
That’s the thing. This job was still running. In the middle of the job I was sweeping the shop and walked over to check the computer and as I did I saw that the stop wasn’t enabled and the gcode log wasn’t running.
The the Serial Terminal would be a better view than the 3D view - so you can see what the log reports Things like random Port Closed (forgot to follow step 4.2 of BlackBox Docs), or Serial corruption (Section 6.2 of BlackBox Docs) etc
Thanks for that. If I ever find that this happens again, and the job that was in process does this again, can I pull the serial viewer back up from the previous job/still going job? I guess what I’m really getting at is, is there a log from previous procedures? Thanks for your quick response.
Logs are running live, so now's too late - but at the time of event, thats when you want to check. Machine will have about 15 moves in the buffer after some event that caused it stop communicating, but the logs will have clues.
right along the top of this forum is a menu. On this menu is a DOCUMENTION menu item. And then all the docs you need to read will open up. BlackBox is linked in the menu bar on the left Or - just go to docs.openbuilds.com
yeah, thats where I was earlier before I asked for the link, I went over where I was originally on the documentation tabs and then the link you sent me. I think what im finding is that the power plan settings are for windows, im on a Mac which creates its own set of problems. I'll search for the equivalent on the internet. thanks for your time. JC
No reported issues with Mac and USB Sleep so probably not that. But you are jumping the gun here - try get the issue to happen again, so we can check the logs - and rather than randomly guessing at the cause, see if we can see the actual cause/error/issue
but man...im designed to jump the gun! ok, ill run another round of surfacing and see what happens. thanks for the input.
would a loose probe wire cause an issue like this? I was thinking that if any of the wires had an issue it might corrupt data being sent to the machine. I use my probe all the time and it gets jerked around. I found that the ground wire was loose at the back of my box. maybe?
Not likely - but lets let it happen again so you can find the log entry - we don't like guessing at possible solutions - its kind of a waste of time. Lets see what the reason was - and take it from there - factually.
Ok sounds good. I’ve got the final surfacing pass running and a go pro filming my screen. In hindsight I guess I could have just screen recorded. Whatever… always complicating things.
ok, here ya go. hopefully this can help straighten things out. I appreciate your help.

im uploading the video I took of the surfacing process. you'll be able to see that the control software says the job is completed and at the same time see the gantry still moving in a reflection. im glad I used the GoPro and it caught the motion of the machine. YouTube says I have about 40 minutes left of compression. once thats done I'll send you the link. thanks
ok, here we go. as you can see right at about 2:45 the screen pops up and says the project is completed. if you continue on to the three minute mark you'll see at 3:08 the spindle comes into view in the reflection behind the laptop. thats an old iMac screen and you can see the x gantry moving the spindle across. this continued for the next 15 minutes or so. when I run the y axis from 0-50 inches via the controller its fast and smooth, no issue. so it doesn't appear to be mechanical. super strange. here's the link.
Oh ok. So when it says job completed the stop button ceases to work? If that’s the case then it makes sense. Strange because it says job done in 1 hour and seven minutes but it’s actually longer? Or is the 1:07 a projection towards the end of those 10-15 moves? Thanks again. Jonny
Its done "streaming" there is nothing in CONTROLs queue left to Stop. Estimates are always off. Machines have different Rapids configs and different Acceleration values.
Ok so I did some thinking on this. Correct me when I’m incorrect. So based on the video I took and your response, the openbuilds control views the project as complete once it’s done streaming the data and there are 10-15 moves left. At that point the possibility to pause or stop your project is gone. If for any reason something bad happens during the process the only thing you can do is press disconnect? Pause and stop are gone. If for some reason the black box did something whacky you would get no data on that as the unit views the job as completed? I’m really curious as to how all this works. Thanks for your time. Jonny
Nope. STOP = Stop sending. ABORT = oh shoot I gotta stop. It won't Wiring, EMI, bad Gcode might, but not the BB Alarms and Errors are processed and logged throughout connection, not just while running a job I can see! Have a read through Grbl v1.1 Interface
