Motors wont move. Commands showing up in console.

I can connect to the black box controller. In console it shows the connection and stops at "Firmware Detected: grbl version 1.1g on COM4"
Then nothing.
Motors show enabled on the black box. I command any axis to move and it just increments my job queue. Nothing shows up in console.

This worked when I used it several months ago. The only thing that I can think of that change was windows pushed an update to Windows 11 on me and wont let me roll back without re-imaging my whole system.

i reinstalled the Open Builds software checked all of my wiring. It is all good. I looked at the limit switches and verified they are working on the troubleshooting tab.

Here is my console output when I connect.

Yes. Fans are working.

I set the step per mm in the Machine settings tab and saved it. But it did not save it. So I sent the commands $100=200, $101=200, $102=200 in console. Now it will move the motors. I am not sure what it is going on but for some reason the Control software is not saving the machine settings. I think I need to run the setup wizard again since it lost all of my settings for some reason.

But why did it loose my settings? Doesn't that all get saved on an eeprom? The Machine has been sitting unplugged and unused for almost a year. Are those setting stored in volatile memory somewhere?

 

I probably clicked the wrong button when I was trying to get it to connect. When I first hooked it up it was giving me gibberish in the console window. I tried baud rates and resets before I realized that it was a bad cable. I must have inadvertently reset it. Unfortunately I cant find my backup so I have to start over.

Oh the joys of computer controlled machines. My 3D Printers are not being very cooperative either.
