    Where can I find the patch notes for Interface? My end stops don't work when running a job with interface. Want to make sure I have the latest update. (snow storm currently and don't want to go out to my shop just to check version. :) I updated it about 3 or 4 days ago so not sure if there has been a new release.

    In this case, important to note that Grbl controls endstops... Interface is just a serial sender - sends commands to Grbl - it cannot parttake in checking limits etc
    But it does have a menu, where the human operator (; can make mistakes like turning off hard limits... But that's not going to show up in a firmware changelog now, that's things the operator may have done (;

    humm, Don't remember doing that. But I did notice last night that my measurement units were on Inches instead of the mm that I had set them to. I thought it strange that they changed on there own. - any possibility inserting/removal of the USB could cause anomalies?

    EDIT: I have also had the machine go into abort during a home operation. It did this twice now, it will home the Z, hit the limit, back off and hit the limit a second time then error just like hitting the abort in OB Control. (no laptop connected)

    I didn't see in Interface where I could set the Hard limits ON/OFF so I connected my laptop. In the GRBL setting both Hard and soft limits are disabled ?? I know the Hard limits worked because that is how I use to abort, by hitting a limit switch. So I am confused how they got changed.

    I should enable both correct?

    EDIT:
    The Limits installed selection switch was off as well and found a cold solder joint on my Z. I re-soldered it so good now.
