    Had a power outage with the cnc in operation. It now boots and connects but there are no GRBL settings or movements. I disconnected all but the USB and get the same. Any Ideas?

    Try clearing the EEPROM, if it comes back, then restore/redo your settings.

    How do you clear the EEPROM?

    Read the Grbl Wiki: gnea/grbl
    And use the serial console to send the commands please

    If it died, you can fit replacement but a software brownout could easily corrupt the EEPROM so try the RST commands first
