@LarryM and @PhilJohnson, using @LarryM’s grbl software worked like a charm. Thanks so much. I really wish i knew why the official Inventables grbl software did not work. @JohnHayes, when i followed the new link, downloaded the inventables fork, and uploaded using arduino the machine did not start up. As soon as i used xloader to load @LarryM’s software the machine turned right on.
Thanks again guys
