    it was disabled, so after enabling it started to work. Only problem now is when I try the home all, the Z goes up and stops at my upper travel microswitch and goes into alarms.
    I recently upgraded the software and wonder if it threw off my settings. I will have to read up on my settings and how to check them
    Thanks
    Tom

    Check your pull off distance in grbl settings. Perhaps its not enough to clear the swtich.

    Screenshot / write down the alarm code and message, there are various different ones, the exact wording will be a good clue about what's wrong

    Got it working fine now. basically the problem was my fault where I neglected to set up my machine properly after I had a replacement blackbox , had to also relocate my Z microswitch as well. This CNC stuff is my new hobby but had to basically had to wait until I fully retired end of last December.
    Now I have the time to read the documentations and learn about G code along with reading the forum.
    Thanks to all that helped.
