3020 PRO MAX - 500W not recognized in gSender

[Jaap]

I have been using UGS for about 5 years now and there were always some things that could have been improved, so I kind of re-discovered gSender and after some testing I am sticking with gSender.

My CNC is working fine but it is not recognized in gSender. When connecting I just see 3 unrecognized options and when I click the right one, everything seems to work, except for the jog control options other than UP-DOWN-LEFT-RIGHT, so the shortcuts between them (the arrows that point at 45, 135, 225 and 325 degrees don’t work) Do I need to flash my CNC to make them work and the CNC to be recognized?

For the rest, I love gSender, it’s got all it needs to have, great piece of software!

Are you selecting grbl or grblhal at bottom?
you could also try another version and see if you have same issue

Confirm grbl vs grblHAL on connect

I’m seeing a lot of Facebook posts where people are having problems with erratic behavior or errors after upgrading to 1.4.x and almost all I have helped with ended up being the user selected grblHAL when they connected (or it somehow defaulted to that which I find hard to believe) I would recommend some type of confirmation or check that if you can’t read firmware values, you fail the connection. At least something that calls out attention to the board type.

@Jaap it’s possible that your 3020 is running an older version of grbl? When you connect in the console could you copy/paste the output and put it on here
