    I’ve Tried searching and digging through the forums and the internet, however to no avail to my problem.

    Whenever I try to save settings to the TinyG they don’t take.

    $1tr=40 will set it to 40 mm, or 1.5748 in. I’ve also tried setting the units to in via g20 and doing it that way, as well as using $gun=0 reseting and trying that. However, whenever I hit the reset button or power off the unit they don’t save.

    The exact commands i’m typing are:

    $1tr=40
    $2tr=40
    $3tr=2.54
    $3po=1
    $3mi=4

    None of them save.

    Here is a $$ dump with the relevant info for my TinyG

    [fb] firmware build 435.24
    [fv] firmware version 0.97
    [hp] hardware platform 1.00
    [hv] hardware version 8.00
    [id] TinyG ID 3X3566-HWH

    I have still not set up my Spindle, or homing switches, as I can’t reliably test the stepper motors.

    Any assistance troubleshooting this save to EEPROM issue would be appreciated, as it prevents me from using my new Shapeoko 2.

    I am going to assume that this is a very new V8 tinyG, as build 435.24 is newish but not the most recent.
    Follow this sticky post,

    to find the most recent tinyG FW build, which at the moment is build 438.02.

    You have to use a programer or avrdude, as it has been reported that tgFX is having issues installing this build.

    Updating the Firmware solved all issues. I put it to it’s paces and gave it some “rough” treatment. I just uploaded the firmware using GCC as i have many copies of Arduino IDE installed (for different Arduino applications using custom libraries I don’t feel like constantly merging).

    Thank you.
