Only partially connectivity to GRBL

[Franz (Franz Meier)]

I have a 3018 CNC with a “ANNOY TOOLS” Board and the offline controller. See picture

I connect it to a Ubuntu 20.04 machine.

• The find my Laser function don’t return a result

• I tried every available option with “GBRL” in the “Create Manually” menue

• The behavior is always as followed

• The console output is

  
  
  Waiting for connection…
  Waiting for connection…
  Grbl 1.1f [’$’ for help]

• When I enter $ for help or every other command, I get no response

  

• When I move the laser via the offline controller I get the output

  
  
  ok
  ok
  ok

Everything else like firing or moving the laser is not possible.

I figured it out. I simple had to disconnect the offline controller. The controller just “did not know who to talk to”.
