Your controller should report 'Grbl 1.1g '$' for help'. The setting we just made in config.h ensures that the output SpRel of the control card is switched when an M3 command is given. Depending on what you use or if you use limit switches there are further settings in the config.h to make. When you update GRBL to version 1.1 the configuration is reset, so first restore you settings. If you use a shield like RAMPS, you have to set the right compiler options in the config.h file before you upload to the Arduino. If you have a dedicated board (not an Arduino uno or mega) you probably need the GRBL version from board supplier.
Grbl 1.1 ‘$’ for help Jog the machine around carefully to see that all the feedback and machine position values update as expected. Next, it’s time to update the GRBL settings. Locate the file you saved earlier and open it in your favorite text editor.
