Just a small issue in inch mode and I've checked my machine settings in grbl $13 =1 so I believe that to be correct. The drop down menu on my X and Y appear to still be in metric the Z however is correct I'm probably doing something wrong can somebody give me an idea here maybe others have had this problem I was thinking.

I am having a problem that I thought you all might be able to help with. I have a Queen Bee Pro that I bought from Bulkman a few years ago. I have been using CNCjs and it worked ok but with start and stops. I recently moved my shop and wanted to upgrade my CNC with a new computer and the Commander software. After I put my CNC back together The USB port on my CNC pro V5 is either not working or the computer is not recognizing it. I can get the machine working with the Wi-Fi connection using the WEBUI on the CNC pro V5. Is there a way to connect Commander without a USB connection. All your videos show USB first then switching to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. I will also reach out to Sparks Concepts to see if they have any incites.

Hi Guys, I just bought a probe digitizer in the hopes of pulling some x,y,z, measurements off of parts. Finding software to do this is hard but currently I am trialing "GRBL Plotter" with "Surface Scan". The friendly guys at CNC3D have helped me with the nighthawk, its going well so far but this controller looks for PNP inputs (my probe is NPN). I will get a NPN-PNP converter (also conveniently available from CNC3D). The nighthawk has two inputs for "Probe" (Signal +12V | Ground), these digitizing probes have a third wire for the +12V "Power", middle wire "Signal", then "Ground" More info here minus the background noise: https://discuss.inventables.com/t/3-wire-3d-touch-probe/140839 I hope to get this setup and working, theres not a lot of user friendly digitising programs out there but others ive heard of are bCNC and some Mach3 stuff. Cheers!
