Thanks.

You machine should have come with Grbl 1.1, and you should be using Carbide Motion 4 — there are some odd things which can happen if one uses Grbl 1.1 with CM3, so please at least check that CM4 will/won’t connect.

Note that CM5 is currently in beta testing and should be released presently.

Thank you for replying, @WillAdams. Is there an easy way to check which version I’m running? I"m super new at this.

Sending $i through the MDI should report the version on the log.
