    6.1 Common Trouble Shooting Questions The problems and answers below are the most common issues that we have received in our experience. If you are having an issue, before contacting us, we recommend reading through this beforehand. Problem - LED Volt Meter is not displaying anything. Check it is wired correctly - if it is wired correctly please email us asking for a replace- ment and one will be sent out right away.
  • Page 29 Sometimes the $$ settings can change value, this usually happens if the machine is moved around by hand. Re-check all $$ values to make sure they are set correctly. Problem - Can’t connect to CNC xPro/GRBL is not loading. First try another USB Cable. Then try another computer. The last thing to try is resetting the firmware on the controller.
