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,

https://www.synthetos.com/topics/tinyg-fw-download-page/

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.
