    Sorry if this is on the FAQ, Web-pages, or forum. I could not find anything that is close this problem.

    I am able to comunicate with the TinyG via CoolTerm and a python tool. For example? 

    ?
Line number:         0
X position:          0.000 mm
Y position:          0.000 mm
Z position:          0.000 mm
A position:          0.000 deg
Feed rate:           0.000 mm/min
Velocity:            0.000 mm/min
Units:               G21 - millimeter mode
Coordinate system:   G53 - machine coordinate system
Distance mode:       G90 - absolute distance mode
Feed rate mode:      G94 - units-per-minute mode (i.e. feedrate mode)
Motion mode:         G80 - cancel motion mode (none active)
Machine state:       Ready

    the ‘?’ works with out a problem.

    But if I enter ‘$st=1’ to set the standard switch settings to NC it doesn’t accept it. 

    $st=1
[st]  switch type                 0 [0=NO,1=NC]

    Suggestions?

    Hi, IIRC there was a bug in older firmware (412.x?) that displayed the $st value incorrectly. In other words, it used what you configured for $st, but when printing it, it always printed 0.
    This is fixed in the current firmware 435.10 (together with many other things), many good reasons to upgrade.
