but when I hit start the laser will not move but comes on full power

You are getting an “Alarm 3” back from your GRBL.

Similar to error messages, all alarm messages are sent as ALARM:X , where X is an alarm code to tell you exacly what caused the alarm. The table below describes the meaning of each alarm code.

Alarm Code Description - Alarm: 3 _ Reset while in motion. Grbl cannot guarantee position. Lost steps are likely. Re-homing is highly recommended.

You will have to provide a bit more detail to be able to advise. Did you lose power? Was your controller/firmware reset? Do you use this controller to also drive CNC? What are you $$ settings?

Thank you…
I re-flashed GRBL 1.1e…problem resolved,
Thanks Again
