    FOLLOW UP: I went through all the settings using Coolterm, today & updated the few settings from Open Build plus any that looked wrong, using the Cheat Sheet. Then I tried driving tests again. No change for a while, but it made a nasty crunch sound & from then on it is not responding to Coolterm other than the connect. I can still interrogate the settings with tgFX. so now it does nothing. Could the TinyG card be faulty?

    Sorry if I confused the issue.
    Item 1:Yes it is a TinyG V8 board with 4 stepper drivers,build 435.1 (copied the wrong No. from tgFX which is build 3625.)
    As for parameters, I ended up just trying the Shapeoko ones. I figure I can go back to the OX ones when I can talk to the TinyG with Grbl controller.(tried 361 & 355)
    My problem is, the setup via video, from Open Build,uses Grbl controller. i can talk to the TinyG, ie. set parameters with Coolterm & as I said before, command G0 gives erratic results. I realise that the distance may not be correct due to parameters, but I would assume that G0X-10 would result in the same movement each time, but it results in approx -20 2 or 3 times, then the next one gives approx +200. OX does not use limit switches & it is not near the travel end when it changes direction, nor is it in the same location each time. The parameters I set via coolterm are verified by tgFX ie It shows my 4 motors as XYYZ as they are wired as per the TinyG setup guide.
    Hopefully this will give a better depiction of my problem. Also sorry about the delay in response, but I’m in Australia & the time difference is a bind at times.

    I’m very new to this, so pls forgive any errors in protocol etc. I’ve been stuffing around for days & have ended up totally confused I try to connect to my tinyG with grbl controller & get a response CTRL-X – no data from Com port after connect. Expecting Grbl version string .. I’ve gone thru innumerable posts etc, trying to get a clue. I’ve connected via Coolterm & can change values etc in there. Using command G0 gives strange results, none of which seem totally correct& after a couple of plus X movements it gives a negative then stops. One of the blog entries here suggested doing a factory reset then comparing the contents of a dropbox https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50261731/2014-05-31_18.28.12-tinyg.conf with the contents of mine via coolterm. They are nothing like the same.
    Now I can set the motors etc via coolterm so surely they should be correct with a factory reset I am running Win7 64 bit & building OX CNC (I didn’t discover ShapeOkO until after I ordered the OX. The amount of support is incredible..) My TinyG is 2×2660-FNE,Firmware 435.1. tgFX is 435.1. I’m 74 YO $ rapidly losing what little hair I have left! This is from my interrigation of TinyG via Coolterm
