I am setting up my first CNC. I believe everything is built and setup properly. All the sensors light up properly, lights come on the gantry and front, the motors lock everything in place whenI power up etc.
The computer recognizes the machine when I plug in the USB, but when I open Carbide Motion to try and initialize everything, nothing happens. I have tried Mac and PC computers, different ports and cables, reinstalling software, everything on the tutorial. It seems i don’t have GRBL software installed and this would cause and issue. A screen shot and details are below. Any help would be appreciated
Machine: Shapeoko 5 Pro

Carbide Motion 617
