    Hi,
    I have Universal Gcode sender v1.09 running ok to an Xpro v2 card into a CBeam XL from Ooznest.
    Also just got the limit switches setup and homing working ok. (Why didnt I do this from the start !! Its much easier)

    UGS works ok all except the Machine Status window which does not show any status or position info.

    If I click the verbose button, I do see lots of machine position data scrolling up so I think the data is being sent back to the laptop ok. Just wont display in the Machine Status window.

    This is on Windows V10 laptop.

    Have I missed something?

    Ok found a fix of sorts... It works fine with Universal Gcode Sender v2.0.. so will use that.
    Does grblv1.1 need UGS v2?
    Anyway - working find now.. Just getting to grips with my limit switches, homing and Z probing :D

    I was originally using v1.09 of UGS. Once I started using v2, the status worked ok

    check your reporting settings
    gnea/grbl
    $10 should be 1

    the question is "what does UGS expect". The Openbuilds Driver had a brief period where it would change $10 which would stop bCNC from reporting position, so if you have tried the driver you will need to reset $10 to 1 (and upgrade the driver before you use it again)
