    How old is it? CONTROL works with any controller running Grbl 1.1 (newer than Dec 2016) but the xpro 1 and 2 could be older than that

    This is what I am seeing - does this mean I need a firmware update ?

    Thankyou Peter I’ll try that. If it turns out my controller is dead - any suggestions as to what to replace with ?
