So I’m in the process of getting my Sherline CNC mill set up with ChiliPeppr, with the serial port json server running on an Rpi, and GRBL on an Arduino Uno, feeding through a xylotex 3-axis step driver. I’ve got everything hooked up, and it works well, but I’m not getting any feedback to the 3D view when I’m running a gcode file, in terms of the milling head position.

Is that expected? When I do manual gcode commands (like say G0X20) the 3D view updates as it is doing it.

I’m running Grbl 0.9j, and version 1.83 of the SPJS.

Version 1.83 of SPJS got deprecated about a week after its release. Can you upgrade to 1.86 and see if that helps? Also, it always helps to post a screenshot with your description to help us get our bearings on your setup.

That worked, thanks! I just downloaded it last week, so I’m not sure how I ended up with version 1.83…
