Take time to familiarize yourself with this window. There are a lot of features here. If you want to jog the
machine around go to the upper right-hand window, called Axes, click the down button and the box will
expand. Click on the "move" tab and select "1"
Then click any of the direction buttons. The machine should move.
GRBL Settings change:
Example
If an axis such as X, Y, or Z moves in the opposite direction it should you will need to change the "$3"
mapping. For an understanding of this see the GRBL page:
https://github.com/grbl/grbl/wiki/Configuring-Grbl-v0.9
Scroll down a bit and you will see a set of numbers "$1" through "$132", below this is an explanation of
what each does. Related to the example above, if X moves the opposite direction we tell it, we would
need to set "$3=1" based on this information:

white text.
At the bottom of this box you will see an area where you can type things, type in this box, $$

the below change.
