I get a Bad Number Format Error each time I start gSender. There is no file loaded. I click past it and all is well. I am using an Openbuilds Blackbox X32 controller. Is there a fix for this?

@Wolfspaw Hello! I forgot to welcome you to the forum! Sorry you are having problems. I found this on Sienci’s website.
Soft limit alarm. G-code motion target exceeds machine travel. Machine position retained. Alarm may be safely unlocked
Here is the web page I got it from!
Let us know how you come out!

It’s not alarm 2… it’s error 2… Missing the expected G-code word value or numeric value format is not valid. I don’t understand why it would be looking for G-code when no file has been loaded. Other than this issue gSender has worked perfectly for me.
It’s likely the $spindles which was recently added to grblHAL core based on a plugin for the SLB core version which lists all available spindle options - we send it on connection to grblHAL. Most likely the X32 is running an older version of grblHAL core which doesn’t include the command.
Past the annoyance of having to close the toast, it shouldn’t effect anything past connection.
Thanks for the explanation. I’ll just close the error message and go on about my business. All of the other functionality has been great!
