How to connect CNC

I have the Genmitshu 6050XL: and when I installed MM it will not recognize my machine. I know its all new,is this something that is coming later. I am connected by USB and it should have recognized it. Thanks

The machine needs a grbl firmware. Did you install the USB drivers (ch340 most likely)? Does it show up in Windows device manager?

I created what I believe to be a correct device profile for the ProVer 6050 Plus, if you want to give it a try - as with any device profile you download, you should take a look through it to confirm it is correct.

Once importing it via the Devices panel, select it from the dropdown to the right of the button, followed by selecting the COM port your device is connected to.

If you see no COM ports as options, you likely do not have the CH340 driver installed required to communicate with the machine, which you can get here: CH340 Drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux
