Setting firmware to inches instead of mm

Is there a way to change firmware settings to inches? Also, what should 130,131,132 be set at for MK2.5 30x30? Thanks.

Hey! No answer after ten months?!?!?!
And I stumbled on your question while looking for the same answer.
Scienci guys, step in here and direct us to the answer, eh?
(I’ll find it and come back…)

Upper right of screen, the gear:


Click on that, go to

130, 1, 2, 3, is max travel,still in mm even though I changed my settings. I’m doing the arithmetic to convert to 'Merican. Setting it to my Altmill with a tape measure.

Edit: I’ve moved your question to the gSender question category.

@1mike1 I realize that this is late to the game, but I don’t believe that there is any way to change firmware values to inches. As @RobLM points out, you can change the units that gSender reports in, but that does not change the values that the firmware reports in.

Grbl, like the majority of the world, uses metric for all measurements, sorry to say. As mentioned, you can change the display units in gSender preferences but not the firmware internals.
