    Hi again.

    Thanks Peter for your help with my 1st question.

    1. I get my MKS board to connect to the Wifi.
    2. I open Openbuilds with the USB cable connected.
    3. I connect with the USB cable.
    4. In the startup log, Openbuilds sees/acknowledges my Wifi and sees the SSID and the status is connected.
    5. When I tell OB to scan network, it says that there is nothing and that it misses a port.
    6. the documentation on the BlackBox states: "Scroll down to $73 Wifi Network SSID and $74 Wifi Network PSK"
    7. When I do it, there is no $73 or $74
    I know I am very close but cannot figure out the last piece of the puzzle.

    Can someone please advise? Maybe I am doing everything wrong or in the wrong order.

    Thank you very much.

    1) use a grblhal based controller
    2) make sure telnet is enabled
    3) telnet available on default port

    trying to use a 3rd party controller is "at own risk"
    If you want a working solution with support (both as in supported by the software, but also as in access to Tech Support) consider a BlackBox from Openbuildspartstore.com
